If "DuPont culture" mentioned in the comments is true, I hope they help Bhopal Disaster victims get the justice they deserve.

Bhopal Disaster happened because of Union Carbide(wholly owned subsidiary of Dow chemicals)

Just to be clear, Dow bought out the remnants of Union Carbide, after they died post-Bhophal. It didn't happen as part of Dow. Dow is extremely safety conscious, and the inexcusable things Union Carbide did would never have happened in a Dow plant.

Not denying this. Probably the lawyers ensured there exists no culpability on the buyer, for UC's past sins.

But, Dow, and now DuPont morally owe a lot, to the Bhopal Gas Disaster victims.

Not to mention the C8 fiasco in WV, courtesy DuPont.
