Bhopal gas disaster or Bhopal gas tragedy was an industrial accident. It happened at a Union Carbide subsidiary pesticide plant in the city of Bhopal, India. On 3 December 1984, the plant released 42 tonnes of toxic methyl isocyanate (MIC) gas, exposing more than 500,000 people to toxic gases.

This was a great disaster in the history of India. A mixture of poisonous gases flooded the city, causing great panic as people woke up with a burning sensation in their lungs an their eyes. People frightened were crying and running here and there and begging for their life. This death was a yearning one.
Thousands died immediately from the effects of the gas. Many were trampled in the panic that followed. The first official immediate death toll was 2,259. Another estimate is that 8,000 died within two weeks, that an additional 8,000 have since died from gas-related diseases.
