Death Plant Opens For Tourists
11/10/09 - Wacky News
“The abandoned site of the world’s worst industrial disaster is to open as a tourist attraction in India next week. The move has infuriated the families and victims from the Union Carbide factory in Bhopal, where thousands died in a gas leak. “This is utter nonsense. The plant symbolizes death. Only retarded people would think of organizing such a show,” said writer Indra Sinha who campaigns for compensation for victims. But organizer Raman Singh said: “We want people to come and visit the plant and have a look for themselves.” The plant, which has remained closed to the public since the disaster happened 25 years ago, will open its doors for one week.” w/ photos
