On 03 December 1984, some 3,800 people died instantly, many of them in their sleep, when around 40 tons of highly poisonous methyl isocyanate gas leaked out of a pesticide-producing unit at the Union Carbide plant. According to official data, the gas disaster killed 15,274 people although assessments by groups such as Greenpeace say 25,000 died. 03 December 2009 marks 25 years since a gas leak devastated the central Indian city of Bhopal in what is considered one of the world's worst industrial disasters.
