BNET -- Bayer seems determined to make a bad situation worse for itself in the Congressional investigation of an explosion at its Institute, W.Va., crop sciences plant. Congress heard that Bayer destroyed evidence and engaged in a secrecy campaign in order to restrict media coverage and public criticism of how it handles methyl isocyanate at the plant. MIC is the chemical that killed about 4,000 people Bhopal, India, in 1984.
