Reminder that the world's largest industrial accident is the Bhopal Union carbide disaster in 1984. It was an American company. Immediate death toll was 2,259 with an additional 500k sustaining injuries. The disaster continues to cause vieth defects to this day. The company settled with the Indian government for a paltry $17 million and used the US Supreme court to reject any further aid.
It's one of the worst things to ever happen and none of the Union Carbide executives went to jail
