A little under 25 years ago, before midnight on December 2nd 1984, a major venting of lethal methyl isocyanate occurred at the Union Carbide pesticide plant in Bhopal, India. Thousands were killed, and toxic waste continues to contaminate the local water supply to this day. To mark the anniversary and to "dispel fears" about the plant, state authorities have decided to throw the site open to tourists for a week; a move that has provoked outrage among local survivors. As publicity stunts go, it is in epicly poor taste.
