India’s Attorney General has filed a case to double the payout for a 1984 tragedy caused by U.S. chemical company Dow Chemicals. The company owned a Union Carbide chemical plant in Bhopal, India, which leaked gas 26 years ago and caused the death of thousands of people in the area. Dow Chemical paid a $470 million settlement in 1989, but now India is petitioning for over $1 billion.
