On the 20th anniversary of the Bhopal industrial disaster, Greenpeace activists construct a memorial sculpture near the Dow Chemical factory in Rheinmuenster. The 1984 chemical explosion at Union Carbide in Bhopal, India killed and maimed thousands. Dow bought Union Carbide in 2001, but will not accept any responsibility for the clean up of the contaminated site. The sculpture is a copy of the "Bhopal Memorial" - mother with two children. The banner reads:"Bhopal dies - Dow keeps silence!"
