On the morning after the night of terror, press photographers
Raghu Rai and Pablo Bartholomew came upon this man,
burying his baby daughter. As Raghu relates, the father
had covered the child's head with earth, then, unable
to bear the thought of never seeing her again, brushed
away the dirt for one last look. The photographers too
were crying. The terrible but tender picture of the
child's burial has become the most famous icon of the
Bhopal disaster.
