The Bhopal Gas Tragedy occurred on the night of December 2, 1984, when methyl isocyanate gas leaked from a pesticide factory owned by the American company, Union Carbide Corporation. The disaster tragically poisoned over half a million people that night, resulting in an official death toll of more than 5,000. Many survivors and their descendants have since grappled with serious health issues, including cancer, blindness, respiratory problems, and various genetic disorders stemming from the gas leak.
