I was a lab technician at the time and my lab mate was a wonderful guy from India named Suresh. Obviously he was beside himself when he talked about the news one minute angry as hell and the next on the verge of tears. It was one of the low points of my life and I questioned the career choice I had made because it was my first year out of college. Ironically the company I worked with at the time GAF made a hostile bid to take over Union Carbide. But it was just an attempt by our CEO to make some greenmail off of Union Carbide's horrible negligence. I left the company soon after so it did not take me long to realize that corporations were the scourge of our society. But it did help give me a moral compass to fight the environmental cause from within. I remember that day like it was yesterday.

In my mind, I was making fun of the W.H. gate crashers and their so-called "proof". "We got emails, saying we were invited" Sorry, I did not mean to offend.

What a horrifying story that got about as much airplay here as a freeway pile-up. And only about a year and a half later was Chernobyl. When you have some time, I highly recommend this site. It's a "motorcycle diary" by a remarkable young woman who tours the "ghost town" of the Chernobyl region taking pictures. Start with "Chernobyl, Land of the Wolves." http://www.kiddofspeed.com/ Bito, I remember when Bhopal happened. What a horrifying story that got about as much airplay here as a freeway pile-up.
