Good God, this is disturbing and disgusting.

Thank you for sharing. I am going to do some more research on it for myself.

Wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhopal_disaster

TLDR: There is an American chemicals company called Union Carbide, and they had a pesticide factory in Bhopal, India (around the geographical centre of India).

In December 1984, a storage tank at the factory, storing methyl isocyanate (a toxic gas) leaked due to a water leak into the tank (the gas reacts with water and causes a large increase in gas pressure), and the pressure broke the tank and all the gas leaked out. There were three safety devices installed to prevent this sort of problem, and all three were not working due to poor maintenance.

The gas leaked out to the nearby neighbourhoods, injuring more than 500,000 people. About 8,000 died within two weeks (another 8,000 are believed to have died years later due to long-term illnesses from the poisoning).

Union Carbide claims that it was sabotage by an employee, but there is no conclusive evidence whether it happened on its own or because of sabotage. But, Union Carbide had poorly maintained safety systems which could have stopped sabotage if they were properly maintained and functioning.

I would help each person individually instead of donating, it’s so hard to trust people would do the right thing.

India has nukes, my man.

Lol! I made the same mistake when I read East Palestine name and thought it was Middle East.

Can you elaborate on the pesticide factory?

MSF is DWB. Sorry, I use them interchangeably. Should have been consistent. Thanks for validating their worth...and I I didn't know about White Helmets, so I looked them up and will put them in the donation rotation.

Doctors Without Borders and White Helmets are incredibly good organizations. What is MSF?

I could use some anti-depressants.

I dont understand your reference. MSF is bad?

White Helmets? How do you donate to this organization?

This is far from uplifting. This is going to be enviromental disaster at best.

Frankly, not particularly fond of the discovery. The region is a quite beautiful place in the Himalayas leaving a scar should be criminal.

Ok I get the joke, but really, do people here think the USA can invade the country with the largest population in the world, which has one of the largest standing armies in the world, AND which has nukes? We saw how well the US sent has fared in our neighborhood (Afghanistan and Vietnam -which is a little further) and we're massive compared to those two...

”How is thiS uplifting!?” - While driving a Tesla ’saving’ the world.

What? No! That was a train in the Middle East USA. I am talking about a pesticide factory in India.

Bhopal gas leak, I dont know about East Palestine in India.

Also if you have nuke, then America would look away. Case in point being North Korea which is mineral rich.

He’s not anonymous. You can’t walk into an embassy anonymously. He probably asked to remain anonymous.

Money laundering

To we’re playing that song in the mess here too join us!

Shitty joke

You're talking about East Palestine gas train accident?

Oh those poor bastards. They are gonna get some "liberty".

USGS estimates of total lithium deposits in the USA are above 6 million tonnes. So....yeah, they do.

Because lithium is an incredibly abundant resource that we just haven't bothered mining at the scale we need?

I'm sure they will mine them in an amazingly environmentally responsible manner which will not exploit anyone :)
