Daughter of victims says safety-program money doesn't buy her forgiveness Houston Chronicle, April 20, 2007 TEXAS CITY - The woman whose lawsuit forced BP to contribute $5 million to an industrial safety program at College of the Mainland said Thursday that the money cannot win her forgiveness. Rowe's parents, James and Linda Rowe, were among 15 people killed March 23, 2005, when a massive explosion tore through part of BP's Texas City plant. Rowe settled with BP last year for an undisclosed amount and a pledge by the company to contribute at least $30 million to charitable foundations. The balance of the $30 million established two other funds. One is for the Truman G. Blocker Adult Burn Unit at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, where 25 burn victims from the explosion were treated.
