28. How did the BBC manage to claim the collapse of WTC7 ...?
Gee, maybe it had something to do with the fact that experts on the scene had known for hours that it was in danger of collapse, and news of that warning had trickled down? Gee, maybe that had something to do with the fact that news cameras were trained on it for hours?

And maybe it had something to do with a reporter, who was obviously unfamiliar with which building was which, misunderstanding what she heard in the midst of a chaotic scenario?

Do you really think that the BBC is anything but embarrassed at having their reporter report that the building has collapsed while it is clearly standing in the background? That just made the reporter look like an idiot and proved that the reporter had no familiarity with the area, and those are not exactly good things in the news reporting business.
