I like this analogy: Suppose a reporter in 1963 is on tv and says, "JFK has just been shot and killed," then you see his motorcade turning the corner and JFK waving from the back seat. Then 20 minutes later he's shot.

How did the reporter know it was about to happen, who told her?

What nonsense!

The BBC did NOT air that report before 7 WTC collapsed. They aired it after 7 WTC collapsed.

These leftist conspiracy nuts apparently think the reporter is standing in front of a window. She's not, of course, any more than David Letterman does his show before a real window overlooking NYC. She's standing in front of a video screen, which is (obviously!) showing footage that was previously recorded. It is the same "blue screen" technology that is used to show video footage of news events on a screen behind a news anchor, and to show giant weather maps behind the weather man.

But the conspiracy nuts are not just idiots. They are also shamefully dishonest when they add their false timestamps to the clip, and lie by claiming that the report was broadcast before it actually was. There are dozens of such doctored copies of the BBC footage on conspiracy web sites all over the web.

The truth is that there is not a single structural engineer on the entire planet who believes that crackpot nonsense about any or all of the WTC skyscrapers being destroyed by controlled demolition.

The BBC never stated that the reporter was standing in front of a green screen. http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/theeditors/2006/10/911_conspiracy_theory_1.ht...

Furthermore, if you watch the video you'll note that the sunlight is striking the left side of her face, obvious it is not studio lighting. The light/pattern on her face matches the same angle as that on the buildings. Those were clearly windows, and sunlight is coming in.

You won't be able to get additional footage from the BBC though. According to them, it's all gone. Interesting, eh?
