The Bhopal disaster, also referred to as the Bhopal gas tragedy, was a gas leak incident in India, considered the world's worst industrial disaster.. It occurred on the night of 2–3 December 1984 at the Union Carbide India Limited (UCIL) pesticide plant in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh. Over 500,000 people were exposed to methyl isocyanate gas and other chemicals. The toxic substance made its way in and around the shanty towns located near the plant..Chemicals abandoned at the plant continue to leak and pollute the groundwater...The chemical process employed in the Bhopal plant had methylamine ( formula of CH3NH2.) reacting with phosgene to form MIC (This colourless Gas gained infamy as a chemical weapon during World War I.Greek words 'phos' (meaning light) and genesis (birth), which was then reacted with 1-naphthol to form the final product, carbary (Carbaryl (1-naphthyl methylcarbamate) is a chemical in the carbamate family used chiefly as an insecticide .).. Approximately 11 million kilograms were applied to U.S. farm crops in 1976.. As a veterinary drug, it is known as carbaril (INN)...
This "route" differed from the MIC-free routes used elsewhere, in which the same raw materials were combined in a different manufacturing order, with phosgene first reacting with naphthol to form a chloroformate ester, which was then reacted with methylamine. In the early 1980s, the demand for pesticides had fallen, but production continued, leading to build-up of stores of unused MIC..The gases were blown in southeastern direction over Bhopal..The initial effects of exposure were coughing, vomiting, severe eye irritation and a feeling of suffocation. People awakened by these symptoms fled away from the plant. Those who ran inhaled more than those who had a vehicle to ride. Owing to their height, children and other people of shorter stature inhaled higher concentrations. Many people were trampled trying to escape..Thousands of people had succumbed by the morning hours. There were mass funerals and mass cremations. Bodies were dumped into the Narmada River, less than 100 km from Bhopal. 170,000 people were treated at hospitals and temporary dispensaries. 2,000 buffalo, goats, and other animals were collected and buried. Within a few days, leaves on trees yellowed and fell off. Supplies, including food, became scarce owing to suppliers' safety fears. Fishing was prohibited causing further supply shortages..
Within a few days, trees in the vicinity became barren, and 2,000 bloated animal carcasses had to be disposed of..On 16 December, tanks 611 and 619 were emptied of the remaining MIC. This led to a 2nd mass evacuation from BhopalFactors leading to the magnitude of the gas leak mainly included problems such as; storing MIC in large tanks and filling beyond recommended levels, poor maintenance after the plant ceased MIC production at the end of 1984, failure of several safety systems due to poor maintenance, and safety systems being switched off to save money— including the MIC tank refrigeration system which could have mitigated the disaster severity. The situation was worsened by the mushrooming of slums in the vicinity of the plant, non-existent catastrophe plans, and shortcomings in health care and socio-economic rehabilitation...Whether hydrogen cyanide (HCN) was present in the Gas mixture is still a controversy..A release of an email cache related to intelligence research organisation Stratfor was leaked by WikiLeaks on 27 February 2012.. It revealed that Dow Chemical had engaged Stratfor to spy on the public and personal lives of activists involved in the Bhopal disaster, including the Yes Men...4.2% in 23 minutes, for a loss of $2 billion in market value..

Robert Graham had made his name by inventing the shatterproof spectacle lens.. He was 'the man who made it safe to wear eye glasses'.. But by the 1960s, aged nearly 60, he had lost interest in correcting mankind's eyesight.. Instead he turned his attention to correcting mankind itself...'Retrograde humans' were, he felt, breeding unchecked, causing the evolutionary regression of mankind.. He wanted to reverse this trend and bring thousands of geniuses into the world, geniuses fathered by the most brilliant minds.. Single-handedly he dreamed of saving humanity, and he would do so Using the sperm of clever men..
By 1983, Graham's sperm bank was reputed to have 19 repeat genius donors, including William Bradford Shockley (1956 Nobel Prize in Physics and proponent of eugenics ) and 2 or 3 anonymous Nobel Prize winners in science..The bank closed in 1999, two years after the death of its creator. 218 children had been born under its auspices..Because Eugenics has been in disrepute in Modern times, particularly after the atrocities of Nazism, Graham's "genius sperm B-ank" was seen as highly controversial..

The Halabja poison gas attack (Kurdish: کیمیابارانی ھەڵەبجە Kîmyabarana Helebce), also known as Halabja massacre or Bloody Friday,was a genocidal massacre against the Kurdish people that took place on March 16, 1988, during the closing days of the Iran–Iraq War, when chemical weapons were used by the Iraqi government forces in the Kurdish town of Halabja in Southern Kurdistan...The attack killed between 3,200 and 5,000 people, and injured around 7,000 to 10,000 more, most of them civilians;thousands more died of complications, diseases, and birth defects in the years after the attack...
The Iran–Iraq War, also known as the 1st Persian Gulf War,was an armed conflict between the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Republic of Iraq lasting from September 1980 to August 1988, making it the 20th century's longest conventional war after the Second Sino-Japanese War.It was initially referred to in English as the "Gulf War" prior to the Persian Gulf War of the early 1990s..
Operation Fajr al-Nasr (Before the Dawn/Dawn of Victory), launched 6 February 1983, saw an the Iranians shift focus from the southern to the central and northern sectors. Iran, using 200,000 "last reserve" Revolutionary Guard troops, attacked along a 40 km (25 mi) stretch near al-Amarah, Iraq about 200 km (120 mi) southeast of Baghdad, in an attempt to reach the highways connecting northern and southern Iraq. The attack was stalled by 60 km (37 mi) of hilly escarpments, forests, and river torrents blanketing the way to al-Amarah, but the Iraqis could not force the Iranians back. Iran directed artillery on Basra and Al Amarah, and Mandali..
The Iranians suffered a large number of casualties clearing minefields and breaching Iraqi anti-tank mines, which Iraqi engineers were unable to replace. After this battle, Iran reduced its use of human wave attacks, though they still remained a key tactic as the war went on..The Mandali–Baghdad northcentral sector also witnessed fighting in April 1983, as Iranian attacks were stopped by Iraqi mechanised and infantry divisions. Casualties were high, and by the end of 1983, an estimated 120,000 Iranians and 60,000 Iraqis had been killed. Iran, however, held the advantage in the war of attrition...
