Bhopal was a major case study in the Safety course in my UK Chemical Engineering degree, so at least the lessons learned are taught in the West.

If I understand correctly, the Bhopal disaster was the result of irresponsible cost-cutting throughout upper management.

It's not enough that the engineers know what they're doing, if it's a clueless MBA making the policy decisions, no? Especially when they're chasing a bonus, and know they have full legal immunity if they kill people.

Oh yeah, in industrial circles it's very well known. Just not in the public at large or pop culture.
