1. Bhopal Explosion
The most terrifying industrial accident on our list of 10 worst industrial disasters/accidents in the world occurred on December 3, 1984, in Bhopal, India. About 45 tons of methyl isocyanate escaped from the Union Carbide plant and spread across the densely populated areas near the plant. It was a state of panic, while many were killed and thousands of others tried to escape. It is estimated that between 15,000 and 20,000 people were killed while half a million of those who survived, suffered from blindness and respiratory problems.
