Something isn't right with this video. I watched the whole coverage on CNN as it was unfolding. I don't recall the building being that big, nor do I remember Aaron Brown turning his back to the camera. |

According to the video, the Taliban and Koffi Annan issued statements minutes after the attacks. I doubt it. This thing has been edited. |

Looks like your memory is faulty.
Time of video accurate: precedes collapse.
Internet Archive's Director of Collections, Stewart Cheifet, responsible for all video and audio files at the archive, has authenticated the BBC video:

This video clip is part of a collection from the TV Archive of global television coverage of the events that occurred on and shortly after September 11, 2001.
This clip, among others, has drawn quite a bit of attention because it appears to show a BBC reporter in New York reporting that World Trade Center Building 7, also referred to as WTC7 or the Salomon Brothers Building, has collapsed before it actually did collapse.
Despite some confusion on the issue of time code stamping and UTC conversions to EDT, the timing on the clip appears to be correct. This particular clip was recorded between 4:54 and 5:36 PM EDT. The anchor references to the WTC7 collapsing occur at 4:58 PM and 5:01 PM and then a live reporter says the building has collapsed at 5:08 PM in what appears to be a live shot with the building still in tact behind her. The feed from the live reporter is lost at 5:15 PM and then the building does actually collapse at 5:20 PM. |

Are you talking about the same video as me? In any case, a couple of days later I seemed to have remembered the clip...but then I forgot about this thread.
You know, you can put anything on a bluescreen ( I doubt he was on a rooftop). In any case, it doesn't prove that someone didn't just make a mistake. |
