The deadly 2005 explosion at BP PLC's Texas City plant was a result of unsafe working conditions caused by the oil giant's appetite for profits, an attorney for four workers said Wednesday in the first trial stemming from the accident. But an attorney for BP told jurors that the oil company didn't knowingly put workers at risk. The explosion killed 15 workers and injured more than 170 others. About 1,350 of the thousands of lawsuits filed since the accident have been settled.
