Experts: BP ignored warning signs on doomed well (AP)

FILE - This April 21, 2010 file photo shows the Deepwater Horizon oil rig burning after an explosion in the Gulf of Mexico, off the southeast tip of Louisiana. A presidentially ordered investigation of the Gulf oil spill lends support to BP's own conclusions about the disaster and challenges congressional claims that the oil company and others made decisions that sacrificed safety to cut costs. Fred H. Bartlit, Jr., the panel's chief investigator, said Monday, Nov. 8, 2010, in a presentation to the seven-member oil spill commission that he agreed with about 90 percent of BP's findings, although the company left out some critical details and there were other areas where the panel's probe will conflict. (AP Photo/Gerald Herbert, File)AP - A new report from an independent scientific panel says BP and its contractors missed and ignored key warning signs and failed to fully recognize important risks in the days and hours leading up to the massive Gulf of Mexico oil well blowout.
