We know @EPA calls them "accidents".. but there's a reason we don't refer to chemical fires, explosions and releases that way.
⬇️@tejasbarrios says it best.
“If I was involved in a car crash and hurt someone, I can’t just put my hands up and say ‘it was an accident,” said Juan Parras of @tejasbarrios
“So why are we letting Shell and its funders get away with incidents like this?”

A hurricane could spark a chemical disaster so massive that no corner of New Orleans would be safe. According to the Chalmette Refinery’s Risk Management Plan, an accident could unleash a fast-moving and potentially lethal gas that could reach anywhere in the metro area. (🧵1/7)

Our Supreme Court has reserved all its sympathy and justice ONLY for Union Carbide, a corporation that continues to abscond from the criminal case on Bhopal gas disaster even today. Survivors of Bhopal disaster deserve just closure, writes Upendra Baxi

The @EPA plays a critical role in safeguarding communities from chemical disasters, but we need to do more – which is why I’m urging the agency to strengthen their proposed Risk Management Program rule before it’s finalized later this year.

We need stronger regulations for high-risk chemical facilities to protect our workers, environmental justice communities, & first responders.
That’s why I sent a letter w/ @SenBooker & 47 colleagues to Adm. @EPAMichaelRegan to ask him to strengthen the @EPA proposed RMP rule.

In Bhopal the disaster happened and continues to unfold because, Union Carbide & Dow Chem puts profits before people's health & environment. 38years later nothing has changed. Industrial/air pollution continues to kill millions and this crime against humanity goes unpunished
Remembering the horror that night, cold, foggy, total chaos. Clueless ppl didn’t know what gas had leaked, no one understood the dire consequences of inhaling #methylisocynide #death #deformities #BhopalGasTragedy1984 lives lost due to gross negligence. Justice delayed=denied
