Someone has unearthed video footage from 9/11 of BBC news announcing the fall of the WTC7 building, in detail…half an hour before it happened. The reporter announces the fall of the building, adding details like exactly how many floors it has, when it’s still visible in shot.
The BBC say that it’s all just an innocent mistake due to confusion. And that their reporter can’t remember who might have told her that WTC7 had fallen. And that anyway, due to another innocent mistake, they’ve apparently lost all copies of all the video recordings of their 9/11 coverage.
So, nothing suspicious there, then. I mean, 9/11 was only the biggest news event of the past 50-odd years, I expect it was on an unmarked tape and someone just recorded over it with the football or something. Happens all the time.

To be fair this is BBC World being talked about, not one of the BBC’s more major channels.
I’d be a lot more surprised if their BBC1 or even BBC News 24 coverage had got erased.
I agree this is still a bit odd, though…
