    On March 23, 2005, an explosion occurred at a BP Texas City refinery that killed 15 people and injured 180 others, costing BP $1.5 billion. The explosion was the result of multiple factors, including frequent leadership changes after BP's merger with Amoco that prioritized cost-cutting over safety, resulting in budget cuts and staff reductions that compromised safety procedures. Contributing causes included human errors due to fatigue and inadequate training, outdated equipment that was over 50 years old and had failed safety alarms, and lack of adherence to process safety regulations in areas like equipment design and maintenance procedures.
