Talk:Managing the Bhopal disaster

why is the link to bnpr done as text only?


 * Become whoever created the page did it that way. This is the sort of thing that anyone - yes, you - is invited to change. I added a hyperlink to BNPR, but next time you see something like this, go ahead and fix it yourself.

is it intended by bnpr that on their ethics page, the link to their "Code of Professional Standards for the Practice of Public Relations" - the contents of their ethics - is a dead link?

the greenpeace page talks of over 8,000 people who died, whereas  talks of only 3828 (entry on date Nov. 16, 1990). who is right?


 * There are differing estimates of the number who died. I think it's fair to assume that Union Carbide's sponsored web site would give a low estimate. I'm not sure offhand where you can go to find information about the methodologies use to arrive at those numbers. With a disaster of this magnitude occurring in a poor community in a poor country, it's not surprising that they would not have an exact number. That's fairly typical of disasters that occur in Third World countries. When a disaster occurs in a wealthy country (like 9/11, for example), each victim is tallied and a fairly precise number emerges. In a poor country, often there is no census and limited resources for compiling lists of the dead -- and on top of that, people in power often don't WANT to know how many people died. That's why to this day we still don't have a good estimate of the number of people who died during the war in Afghanistan.
