The U.S. Justice Department announced massive fines against oil giant BP for its deadly 2005 Texas refinery explosion.

BP is to pay US$373 million in fines, including a US$50 million criminal fine, for the massive explosion at its Texas City refinery that killed 15 people and injured more than 170 others in 2005. It's the biggest criminal penalty ever levied under the Clean Air Act.
