The trial of CCTV fire case is about to begin. 21 defendants including Xu Wei, former director of the new site office of CCTV will be tried one by one. In recent days, our reporter learned from the investigation that in addition to the direct cause of the fire accident that had been published, there were six indirect causes exposing that multiple departments failed to perform their supervision duties. Moreover, due to a number of faults, the fire-fighting equipment in the building where fire broke out did not function completely, thus making it difficult to put out the fire which might quickly engulf the whole building.
