BBC says BP "disregarded safety measures"

Congress tells Hayward BP ignored oil well dangers

BP chief executive Tony Hayward has been told by an angry US Congressional panel his firm ignored dangers when drilling in the Gulf of Mexico.

House committee on energy and commerce chairman Henry Waxman said BP's "complacency" before the 20 April rig explosion had been "astonishing". He accused Mr Hayward of "stonewalling" for failing to answer his questions.

As a public relations exercise for BP, the hearing was a disaster, a BBC correspondent says.
