Manslaughter Charges Against Top Two Officials on BP Oil Rig Dropped by U.S.

摘要

Federal prosecutors dropped manslaughter charges against BP Pic's two top employees on the oil rig that blew up in 2010, the latest setback for investigators probing the largest offshore oil spill in U.S. history (United States v. Kaluza, E.D. La., No. 12-cr-00265, 12/2/15). The dismissal of the most serious charges against Robert Kaluza and Donald Vidrine, who supervised testing on the Macondo well, means the two won't stand trial for the deaths of 11 men killed in the explosion aboard the Deepwater Horizon.
