Since MIC is twice as heavy as air, children were poisoned first. A wet cloth over the mouth would have acted as a crude gas mask long enough for virtually everyone affected to climb to higher ground and get above the gas. No one in Bhopal knew these facts because Union Carbide had not bothered to spend the money to inform the citizens about what they might need to do if the giant poison gas plant ever exploded.
