On December 3rd 1984, in India in a city called Bhopal. A cloud of deadly methyl isocyanate (MIC) vapour escaped from a storage tank at a Union Carbide chemical plant. The gas MIC had escaped when a valve in the plants underground tank broke under pressure. The deadly gases escaped into the air and went in the neighbourhoods where the people and plants.

Seems to be a factory that a dangerous chemicals remained three tanks continued to hold over 60 tons of methyl isocyanine or (MIC) for short. Although (MIC) is a deadly gas, the Union Carbide plant’s elaborate safety system was allowed to fall into disrepair. The gas (MIC) had escaped when a valve in the plants underground tank broke under pressure but when the gases escaped into the air, waiting to be serviced. And possible the pipelines where corroding the materials’. They storing these chemically in large tanks instead of small ones if you look down you Can see all the tanks and pipes The flare tower designed to burn off gas, but a connecting pipes had beed removed for maintenance and the water curtain (NOT) high enough to reach gas and the vent leaking turned off gas could have been detoxified but the scrubber was turned off. At the end they cleaned the pipes but left the plant there making it dangers’ for people killing thousands maybe more.
