I'm going with E-Cunts suggestion on this one.

Either it was patently obvious it was going to fall down, it was in the process of falling down and she used an unfortunate terminology. Poor lass made one mistake while reporting on an incredibly hectic story and everyone is jumping on her back.

Enjoy this story until say, tomorrow when the BBC will release a statement explaining this minor irregularity.

that lady is not reporting of a collapse on the building. she is saying stuff about emergency workers being moved away from the scene etc, but it is the guy in the studio who says that salomon brothers building has already collapsed (edit: she says that WTC7 is "not the only building that have suffered" and goes on about the collapse of other building). i typed the phrase "salomon brothers building" in google and relatively few results pop out, so it might be possible that she wasn't aware that the guy is reffering to WTC7 - she is looking at this building at one point, so SHE obviously was aware of the fact that it is still standing (duh!). she could have thought that the guy is talking about the collapse of wtc5 (i think the number was 5) - much smaller building, which was out of her sight and she didn't want to reveal the confusion so she just carried on. this is only my guess, of course. btw, there were also reports on cnn of a car bomb exploding in front of pentagon that day, nad that 7 planes were hijacked. what does it prove?

1 - The timeline. I don't see a time stamp on the screen at any time during the report. The only reference to the time is when the fellow says that it's some eight hours after the attacks. He doesn't say it's exactly eight hours after the first attack. I don't think it's unreasonable to say that WTC 7 fell about eight hours after the attacks.

2 - The picture. I don't know that that's WTC 7 behind her. I also don't know if she's standing in front of a green screen and they're showing old footage.

3 - This completely strains credibility. Here's the scenario, if there's not some innocent explanation: The U.S. government decides, in order to provoke war with Iraq and/or Afghanistan, to knock down three of its own buildings. It came up with a plan to knock down two big ones in the morning, and a smaller one in the afternoon. It planted explosives in them, and arranged for terrorists to fly planes into two of them. Obviously, this is, by several orders of magnitude, the worst criminal act any administration has ever committed. Not only that, but it can only be effective if no one ever knows that the administration was involved. So, the administration tells a foreign news organization about the plan?! Really?! This is the kind of thing that seems plausible to you?

Bob, I think you're invested in believing this. Have you looked at the debunking evidence too? Let's say you have, and you've weighed them honestly, and found the conspiracy evidence more convincing... that's fine. But when you start to find it plausible that, not only did the government script 9/11, but they passed along the script to the B fucking B fucking C, I think you've gone off the deep end. Why would they do such a thing?

When you're invested in believing something, you give a lot of weight to evidence that supports your belief, and you tend to ignore or explain away evidence that would tend to contradict it. I kind of think that's what's going on here.

thanks for the picctures germ war! this one:

(note the gap in the building structures at the right)

matches perfectly the way building has collapsed

I would see this band.

This just seems like some kind of mix up to me Bob.
They are told No 7 is likely to fall (though no one at this point is reminding anyone of the steel structured buildings not falling down through fire thing) and then another building does fall down and someone gets a crossed wire. It is quite plausible the woman wouldn't recognise the building (if that is the building behind her - and it does look like it)

What exactly is the thinking that the organisers of any attack would have press releases to give out at certain points of the day? Do they think someone might miss a 47 storey building falling down?

Doesn't stack up for me Bob. No smoking gun here. Just evidence that rolling news is totally fucking useless for finding out anything reliable about the world.

Also that video EC posted up there is interesting but I still don't see that it explains why the rest of the building would have come down so uniformly.

I don't want to sound like i'm making excuses but look at a lot of demolition clips and you'll sometimes see certain areas blown and start to collapse first. From what my eyes see and from the anomolous nature of the collapse I'm still inclined to suspect demolition.

Still enlightening though and interesting that the Conspiracy types choose not to highlight that footage.

Edit: actually i just went and watched this clip

and it does mention that 'crimp'

I also did not know (if it be true) about the fraud case files of Worldcom and Enron disappearing in WT7

Another happy coincidence for fucking scum. How come the buildings collapse couldn't have somehow cancelled third world debt or something?

I guess the worlds just not fair

You mean the fraud cases that ended in convictions and significant jail time? If the cases disappeared, it doesn't seem to have mattered.

Yes, that's it. A couple of times, she moves to her right, and you can see the whole roof line clearly. It is undoubtedly WTC7.
