On the night of December 2nd, 1984, a Union Carbide pesticides plant in Bhopal, India, began leaking 27 tonnes of deadly methyl isocyanate gas into the air.

On the night of 2/3 December 1984, forty tonnes of methyl iscocyanate (MIC - a highly volatile toxic chemical) stored at a pesticide plant owned by Union Carbide India Limited (UCIL), a subsidiary of Union Carbide Corporation (UCC) became contaminated with water and other impurities.
Just after midnight on 2 December 1984, 28 tonnes of toxic gas were released into the community from a pesticide factory in Bhopal, India. Water entered a tank of MIC, an intermediate in the manufacture of pesticides, leading to a runaway chemical reaction and the release of a cocktail of highly toxic gases.
