Obviously increasing the death toll would increase the likelihood that Union Carbide wouldn't walk away from the disaster scot free, but would a more severe disaster do anything to result in any permanent legislation regarding the operational safety standards of potentially hazardous industrial sites (like the Bhopal plant) situated in developing countries? How would this affect the public perception of multinationals in both the first and third worlds? Would multinationals based on heavy industry and cheap labor take measurable hits in growth and lost profits by lack of business in India?
