Bhopal

For those of you keeping track, today marks the 25th anniversary of the Bhopal disaster, in which a poisonous gas leak from a Union Carbide plant in Bhopal, India, killed some 4,000 people directly, with some estimates saying that as many as 25,000 deaths were ultimately attributable to the leak, with perhaps 200,000 people affected in the form of long-term chronic injury, birth defects, etc.

Google Bhopal, Union Carbide, or methyl isocyanate if you're too young to remember, or click here.
