BP vs Bophal

What amazes me is the apparent arrogance of the U.S. of ignoring the Bophal catastrophe of an American company but are outraged by the catastrophe of BP, not proven to be at fault yet!.
At this strage no one appears to have died because of the oil spill, but it threatens the economy of Florida mainly.
It seems that 25 years means that people should forget the thousands that died and the thousands that are having continuous health problems.
However, President Obama has called in BP and trying to stop any dividends being paid out, but the U.S., has been reluctant to pay peanuts in comparison to Indians.
Isn't this " Double standards" by the yanks??
Perhaps the yanks should have a reality check
