The Yes Men has done it again.
At the 20th anniversary of the chemical disaster in Bhopal, Andy (one of the Yes Men) disguised himself as a representative of Dow Chemicals and in a live interview on BBC World, he stated that Dow Chemicals would finally accept full responsibility and offer the people of Bhopal decent compensation.
Truth is, Dow Chemicals refuse to accept any responsibility for the disaster, in which half a million people were exposed to the leaking gas and 20,000 died as a result. More than 120,000 people still suffer from ailments caused by the accident and the subsequent pollution at the plant site.
