- Remember Bhopal Museum - You will be picked up from your hotel and driven to the abandoned factory of Union Carbide, the site of one of the world’s worst industrial accident in living memory.
In the early morning of December 3, 1984, a moving breeze spread a toxic dark cloud over the city of Bhopal. The victims arrived at hospitals breathless and blind. The lungs, brain, eyes, muscles as well as gastrointestinal, neurological, reproductive and immune systems of the survivors were severely affected. When the sun rose the next morning the magnitude of the devastation was clear. Dead bodies of humans and animals blocked the streets, leaves turned black, and a smell of burning chili peppers lingered in the air.

Bhopal, the chief city of the Central Indian region of Madhya Pradesh, was the location of one of the most catastrophic industrial incidents in 1984. Bhopal’s inhabitants were subjected to the dangerously toxic Methyl Isocyanate gas as it seeped from the Union Carbide plant. It’s estimated that over 20,000 people lost their lives and several others were left with permanent disabilities. The aftermath is still noticeable today, with a high incidence of genetic anomalies in the subsequent generation. Tour the deserted Union Carbide plant and the nearby impacted locations to view the somber aspects of industrial development.
