Document Summary

The accident reveals the substance because what crops up is a sort of analysis, a techno-analysis of what is beneath any knowledge. It follows that fighting against the damage done by progress above all means uncovering the hidden truth of our successes in this accidental revelation of the incriminated substances. Ex: union carbide disaster in bhopal, india. Poison gas erupted killing and infecting many. Water build up could cause the gas inside tanks to heat up thus causing an explosion. Union carbide stock plunges, over 13 points (near billion) Ordered to pay million in damages. Birth defects and contaminated water in the city continue to exist today. To invent the sailing ship or steamer is to invent the shipwreck. To invent the train is to invent the rail accident of derailment. To invent the family automobile is to produce the pile-up on the highway.
