Description
Throughout history, in countries around the world, people have been killed, disabled or sickened by manmade disasters resulting from the reckless application of science and technology. The public learned about Chernobyl, Bhopal and Deepwater Horizon and were deceived into believing they were aberrations. But a stream of revelations about products such as cigarettes, leaded gasoline, and opioids shows these risks to the public are business as usual. The management knew of the danger and hid the evidence, to protect themselves and their bottom line.
