摘要

The U.S. Chemical Safety Board (CSB) has released a report of its preliminary findings on the March 23, 2005 blast at BP's Texas City refinery that killed 15 and injured scores more. According to the report, BP execs were well aware of safety issues at Texas City long before the deadly blast. CSB says that internal BP documents prepared between 2002 and 2005 revealed knowledge of significant safety problems at the refinery and at 34 other BP business units around the world.
