More than 25 years after a pesticide plant in the central Indian city of Bhopal spewed a toxic cloud that killed as many as 25,000 people, an Indian court last week finally sentenced seven former executives involved in the disaster. They'll receive two years in prison (pending appeal) and pay fines equivalent to $2,100—the maximum punishment allowed under current law, but one considered so lenient that many in India are demanding far tougher corporate liability laws.

And we think there is something wrong with justice in the US sometimes. This is just WOW!

I worked for Union Carbide at the time of this incident in an entirely different division. It wasn't long after that all those divisions were sold off.
