The 1984 Bhopal Gas Tragedy
Episode 8
Tuesday, 18 November, 2025
December 3, 1984. Midnight. A toxic cloud escapes from a pesticide plant in Bhopal, India, and drifts over sleeping neighborhoods. Within hours, thousands are dead. By dawn, bodies litter the streets. This is the Bhopal Gas Tragedy—the worst industrial disaster in human history. But the dying didn't stop that night. Forty years later, the poison continues to kill. Corporate negligence, cost-cutting measures, and a conscious decision to hide critical safety warnings turned a chemical plant into a death factory. Justice remains elusive. The victims are still dying. And the lessons remain unlearned. This is their story.Catastrophic Calamities is a creation of Richard O Jones and Pulpular Media.
