It most certainly is evidence especially if they were reporting off a 'press release'.....

Why is it just the BBC World Service (that we currently know of) that reported a collapse before the event?

It's not only highly unlikely but I'll venture to say it's IMPOSSIBLE!
(BBC)-Part of the conspiracy? Richard Porter 27 Feb 07, 05:12 PM
The 9/11 conspiracy theories are pretty well known by now. The BBC addressed them earlier this month with a documentary, The Conspiracy Files, shown within the UK.
Until now, I don't think we've been accused of being part of the conspiracy. But now some websites are using news footage from BBC World on September 11th 2001 to suggest we were actively participating in some sort of attempt to manipulate the audience. As a result, we're now getting lots of emails asking us to clarify our position. So here goes:

But now some websites are using news footage from BBC World on September 11th 2001 to suggest we were actively participating in some sort of attempt to manipulate the audience. As a result, we're now getting lots of emails asking us to clarify our position. So here goes:
1. We're not part of a conspiracy. Nobody told us what to say or do on September 11th. We didn't get told in advance that buildings were going to fall down. We didn't receive press releases or scripts in advance of events happening.
2. In the chaos and confusion of the day, I'm quite sure we said things which turned out to be untrue or inaccurate - but at the time were based on the best information we had. We did what we always did - sourced our reports, used qualifying words like "apparently" or "it's reported" or "we're hearing" and constantly tried to check and double check the information we were receiving.
3. Our reporter Jane Standley was in New York on the day of the attacks, and like everyone who was there, has the events seared on her mind. I've spoken to her today and unsurprisingly, she doesn't remember minute-by-minute what she said or did - like everybody else that day she was trying to make sense of what she was seeing; what she was being told; and what was being told to her by colleagues in London who were monitoring feeds and wires services.
4. We no longer have the original tapes of our 9/11 coverage (for reasons of cock-up, not conspiracy). So if someone has got a recording of our output, I'd love to get hold of it. We do have the tapes for our sister channel News 24, but they don't help clear up the issue one way or another.
5. If we reported the building had collapsed before it had done so, it would have been an error - no more than that. As one of the comments on You Tube says today "so the guy in the studio didn't quite know what was going on? Woah, that totally proves conspiracy... "

There's something in the corner of my brain trying to get me to remember hearing about a report before the collapse. I'll do some research.
In the meantime, there is a boatload of info on What Really Happened about the collapse.

This thread is not about how it collapsed, other threads exist for that.
Please keep on topic or start a new thread.

No need to wish. I know it was demolished.
There was no reason to suspect its collapse. It suffered minimal damage from WTC1/2 collapsing, and the fires within it were pathetic at best.
Your either incredabily stupid, or your just another shill.

The timestamp archive is the one where she is talking about WTC 7.
I also downloaded the video last night from this same archive and nothing has been cut out. I will glady upload it somewhere if you would like it.

Ermm, why exactly would they need a press release to tell them that a building that every person on earth could turn on their television and see collapse had collapsed? Keep reaching.

Here's a CNN clip where Aaron Brown reports - "building 7, in the wtc complex, is on fire and has either collapsed, or is collapsing". This was more than an hour before the building actually collapsed.

The download of the 1GB archive.org mpeg is finished here.
I'll be compressing it to all sorts of formats and upload the original and the compressed versions to one of my webservers in case the archive.org location goes down again.
Its strange that BBC world claims that it lost the footage while they themselves just released it to archive.org this week.

It is highly unlikely that falling debris from the other towers caused damage at the exact points on wtc 7 that would allow for a perfect symmetrical collapse at free-fall speed.
Thank you but I'll go one step further..
