The accident was revealed to have been caused by water being inadvertently introduced into a storage tank that contained almost 80,000 pounds of MIC. Union Carbide insisted that the facility was safe. The company claimed that the plant in India was held to the same safety standards required of every plant they owned including Institute West Virginia.
