SHORT:
Forty years ago, on December 2, 1984, a terrible accident happened in Bhopal, India. A dangerous gas escaped from a pesticide factory owned by Unions Carbide, killing many people and harming about 500,000 others.
Reports say around 3,500 people died right away, and more than 15,000 died in the following years. Some people think the real number of deaths is even higher. Many people who lived through the accident still have health problems today.
In 2010, an Indian court found seven former managers guilty, but they only got small punishments. Victims and their supporters say that true justice has not been done.
