A leak, a settlement and a thin conviction Bhopal is the public-record industrial disaster that industrial-accident law still cites when parent companies, host states and neighbours do not share a courtroom. UCIL, majority-owned by Union Carbide Corporation, made carbamate pesticides at Bhopal. The MIC unit dated from the late 1970s. By 1984 the plant sat beside densely inhabited wards. Safety systems on Tank 610 — refrigeration, scrubbing, flaring — were not in the state the design assumed, according to later Indian investigation and civil discovery.
Water entering the MIC tank is the physical trigger most official reconstructions accept. How the water got there, and how far that question matters beside disabled safeguards, remains a secondary argument. This page does not reconstruct a method. The public fact is an uncontrolled release over sleeping neighbourhoods.
Hospitals and municipal cremation grounds were overwhelmed on 3 December. The first official immediate count, 2,259, is still the figure many legal summaries use for the night itself.

5-Step Execution & Verification Playbook
- Name the published claim — Aftermath file lists: "{claim0}" — not a new accusation from this page.
- Name the timeline beat — First beat on file: {beat0}.
- Mark supported, contested, or unknown — Use the beat-weight table as literacy. Default stays unknown until you choose.
- No encyclopedia verdict — Court outcomes and jury splits stay in primary sources; marks here do not change them.
- Amelia Earhart disappearance (5) — Atlas note 45 on Amelia Earhart disappearance defines the operating range of 1937 when “A second departure” applies.
Myth vs. Evidence Fact-Check
How do I read a Theranos claim against this dossier timeline?
Aftermath claims already on file sit beside beats already published here: 2003 founding, 2013 Walgreens rollout, 2014 peak private valuation, 15 October 2015 Journal investigation, 2016 CMS sanctions, 2018 SEC charges and wind-down, 2021 Holmes trial in San Jose. The pairing is a reading aid, not a new court finding.
Was Holmes convicted of harming patients?
The January 2022 Northern District of California verdict convicted her on investor-related wire-fraud counts and acquitted her on patient-related counts. Balwani was convicted on patient-related counts in July 2022. Marking a beat supported or contested on this page does not change that public record and is not this encyclopedia verdict.
Did the Journal invent the laboratory problems?
No. Carreyrou 15 October 2015 Wall Street Journal series is the public break. CMS later sanctioned the Newark lab (2016), and two juries independently found serious false statements. The claim that the Journal invented it is already listed to weigh against those years, not as this page conclusion.
What do supported, contested, and unknown mean on the beat-weight table?
They are editorial marks you set on this device against claims already in the aftermath chapter (patient-harm, Journal invention, no tests ever ran, 9 billion public company). Default is unknown. They teach how a public-record file can be read; they are not a legal verdict, not a how-to, and not a private case file.
