Grand jury probing '05 BP Texas blast -reports

HOUSTON (Reuters) - A U.S. grand jury is probing the deadly 2005 blast that claimed 15 lives at BP Plc.'s giant Texas refinery, according to reports in two Texas newspapers.
The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration fined BP a record $21.3 million in September for over 300 safety violations discovered during the investigation of the March 23, 2005 explosion at BP's Texas City, Texas, refinery.

1. Good catch, NorthernSun

About time this was treated seriously. Glad to see a grand jury in involved. Corporations are cutting too many corners. There has to be some reminders to them that money is not the only object of veneration. Life has value too.
