  1. Pathetic communication from Union Carbide ensured, that neither the authorities nor the public had any knowledge of the deadly gas leak. The city's Hamidia Hospital was first told the gas was ammonia, then phosgene.

    The residents of Bhopal came to know of the deadly MIC only after they were exposed to it. No instructions to evacuate, or shelter. It was a complete criminal failure by Union Carbide.

  6. Within 30-40 minutes in the wee hours of December 3, 1984, about 30 tonnes of MIC escaped into the air. Within 2 hours this would be 40 tonnes, and winds blew the gas in a southeastern direction.

    What followed was even worse, while the plant siren was sounded and the workers evacuated, the public was not informed, even worse Union Carbide officials gave assurances that everything was fine.

  11. The flare tower,whose purpose was to burn the MIC gas as it escaped, had a connecting pipe removed for maintenance, and it's size was not enough to handle the leak from E610.

    A vent gas scrubber, which had been deactivated at the time and was in 'standby' mode. It had insufficient caustic soda and power to stop a leak of this magnitude.

  16. This could have been averted or at least mitigated by 3 safety devices all of which were malfunctioning at the same time. Or not even in proper use.

    A refrigeration system meant to cool tanks containing liquid MIC, shut down in January 1982, the high temperature alarm set to sound at 11 °C (52 °F) had long since been disconnected.

  19. @newsie I would like to know more about the lab in which this was tested and how internal operations have changed. Based on what #GrigoryRodchenkov described in his book #TheRodchenkovAffair I am skeptical the #pandemic was the primary reason the positive test surfaced when it did and who all is being protected. Details about the internal operations - especially regarding such a young athlete - could really be helpful in understanding this case. #KamilaValieva #Russia

  20. #TodayInHistory Japanese forces begin the final assault on Nanking in 1937, during the 2nd Sino-Japanese War, the city would fall by December 13, leading to the terrible Rape of Nanking or Nanking massacre which would see close to 300,000 dead, widespread rapes, murders.

  21. @Erindurant42 I would definitely be interested in learning more about your thoughts on the matter. I didn’t really become interested in #SportsGovernance until graduate school - and that was after being a #SportsJournalist and never really seriously investigating how issues like this are handled at the governing level. (That’s a continuously humbling thing to have to admit …)

  22. #TodayInHistory Ford Motors announces an 8 hour workday, as well as setting the minimum wage at 5$ per day, in 1914, one radical step, that shot up it's productivity and proft, forcing it's competitors to follow suit.

    Wall Street Journal on Ford's decision-

    "To apply biblical or spiritual principles into a field where they do not belong ... (Ford has) committed economic blunders, if not crimes."

    Ford doubled their profits, media as usual never get it's right.
