Twenty one people charged in relation to a fire that engulfed the TVCC, a prominent building within the new CCTV headquarters, appeared in Beijing's No.2 Intermediate People's Court this morning. Considering the number of defendants involved, including Xu Wei, former director of the office in charge of construction of the new headquarters, the court has set aside three to four days for the trial. The fire resulted in the death of one fireman and caused over 163 million yuan (23.99 million US dollars) in economic losses.
