One of the things that I like the most is Greek mythology.
My favourite character is Poseidon, the god of sea, and who causes earthquake. He creates islands

Bophal Gas Tragedy (Presentation)
The photo that I had chosen is very very stricking.
But first of all, I want to explain the story behind it:
The 2nd and 3rd night of December of 1984, something so terrifying happened in Bhopal, capital town of the Indian State Madhya Pradesh.
Built in 1969, a factory in the eastern part of the city, used to produce a pesticide which UCIL had branded as Sevin. A chemical called Methyl isocynate (MIC) was used for producing this pesticide.
On that night, water began to leak into a tank containing 42 tonnes of MIC. The resulting exothermic reaction increased the temperature inside the tank and also raised the pressure. Soon the tank vented; releasing toxic gases into the atmosphere. The gases were blown by the northwesterly winds over the Bhopal city.
The entire city was enveloped by an invisible and extremely toxic gas.
In the morning, people of Bhopal began to feel the effect of toxin. People began to feel suffocation, burning eyes and vomiting.
About 3,000 people died immediately on that night and another 6,000 died in the next one week. Yet another 8,000 people died over a longer period of time due to effects of the poisonous gas. Still about 150,000 people are living with chronic diseases that occurred due to exposure to the gas.
This photo shows the baby girl that a feather was burying.
The quote that I wrote about the image is: No one deserves this.
