BP executive says Transocean, not BP, was in charge of safety on Deepwater Horizon.

Senior BP executive Lamar McKay testified in federal court Tuesday in the civil trial stemming from the disastrous Gulf oil spill in April 2010 that his world-class oil exploration and production company's management system for safety calls for safety decisions on rigs it hires to drill oil wells, such as the Deepwater Horizon, to be determined by the rig owner, and not BP's management.
