Which one of the following is an Industrial Disaster ?

  • A.Tsunami 2004
  • B.Uttarakhand Disaster
  • C.Bhopal Gas Tragedy
  • D.Nepal Earthquake

Answer: C

The industrial disaster is the Bhopal Gas Tragedy.

On the night of 2-3 December 1984, methyl isocyanate gas leaked from the Union Carbide pesticide plant in Bhopal, killing thousands of people and injuring hundreds of thousands. Because it was caused by failures at an industrial plant, it is the classic example of an industrial (man-made) disaster.

The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami and the 2015 Nepal earthquake were natural disasters, and the 2013 Uttarakhand disaster was caused by cloudbursts and flash floods, again a natural hazard.
