...To put Dow's claim in perspective, it is important to point out that Dow/Carbide provided only $300-$500 compensation to those most severely affected by the Bhopal disaster. The damages demanded by Dow will amount to about 10 years income for the survivors charged but is less than one days sales revenue for Dow.
