Galveston County Daily News, April 20, 2007 TEXAS CITY - Eva Rowe had seen all the government reports, court documents and expert testimony of the BP explosions that killed her parents. However, it was on a tour of College of the Mainland's Process Technology Program that she got a near real-life explanation. It was a surreal moment for the 22-year-old who, just minutes earlier, helped the college launch a campaign to build a safety education center on the College of the Mainland campus. Rowe's parents, Linda and James Rowe, were among the 15 killed in the blasts at BP's Texas City refinery on March 23, 2005. As part of her landmark court settlement with the company, $32 million was set aside for education and medical programs, including $5 million for College of the Mainland to build a safety-training center. The settlement also earmarked money for the University of Texas Medical Branch's burn unit, the St. Jude's Cancer hospital in Memphis, the process safety-training program at Texas A&M University and $1 million to Rowe's former school in Hornbeck, La., where her mother taught part time.
