9. DECEMBER 3, 1984 Bhopal, India THAT NIGHT, Shortly after midnight an exothermic reaction caused poison gas to leak from a factory in Bhopal, India. There was no warning, none of the plant's safety systems were working. In the city people were sleeping. They woke in darkness to the sound of screams with the gases burning their eyes, noses and mouths. They began retching and coughing up froth streaked with blood. Whole neighborhoods fled in panic, some were trampled, others convulsed and fell dead. People lost control of their bowels and bladders as they ran. Within hours thousands of dead bodies lay in the streets https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/eb/Bhopal_Plant_6.JPG
