Im not dumb to think Fox would touch this,but perhaps CNN or MSNBC might.
Or perhpas even post it on those networks message boards to garner attention.
Just some ideas on how to push this story to the mainstream.
The 47 storey Salomon Brothers building close
to the World Trade Centre has also collapsed
Original Anonymous Post By: anon_98734
This anonymous post is in response to ATS thread: BBC News Reports Building 7 collapse 23 Minutes before it collapses.
In response to someone asking whether the collapse of WTC7 was mentioned by the BBC again AFTER its collapse: I've just skipped through to the end of the 1GB tape and it's mentioned briefly at about 5:31 EDT, but no more or less that they said earlier, merely that the Salomon building has collapsed. No, they do not return to Jane Standley again during that tape.
To add to the discussion about the time of the recording and transmission, the following is the catalogue entry for the tape from archive.org, which I copied earlier today (I can't access it at the moment):

The reports of collapse must have been coming from the inner circle, either Silverstein's circle, the POLICE, the FIREFIGHTERS.
Someone probably told the media of the 'collapse going to happen soon'.
This someone knew that they were going to demolish the building and gave the heads up to the media, probably not thinking some would go early with the story.
Thats the only thing that makes sense. It makes sense in light of a *CONTROLLED DEMOLITION*,
Either way, this is very difficult to explain.

Its called a telephone problem to me. Kind of like the elementary kid thing where one kid whispers to another and tells that person to pass it on, and by the time it ends to the lets say the 10th kid to receive, the message is different.

Bold added for emphasis
May not be important but is the word centre not spelt center in the states,

can you tell me/us, if they return to the link with Jane Standley at all, or if they stayed with the studio and made reference to the collapse again, seeing as how that time line would have covered the time of the real collapse.

They never go back to Jane and they never made another text reference to the collapse.
May not be important but is the word centre not spelt center in the states, the BBC probably use UK English on their international broadcasts but I would say it would have been transcribed from the original source....just a thing to note.

The problem here is, that this thing that was passed on was about something that hasn't happened in the history of modern Steel Structures of that Size.
Someone knew about this, and they knew it too close to the *ACTUAL* event.
It isn't just that they knew, but considering the collapse of this type of structure is unlikely, but also they knew about it so close to the event itself speaks loud and clear.
Something more here is going on.

Having worked for the BBC I can say that if you think that any of this is contrived then you have clearly never worked in a newsroom environment.
Generally the newsreader will read whatever is put on the autocue. They're sight-reading and not taking in what is actually in the report.

But even if it were copied, a UK 'typist' would quite readily have spelt 'centre' the British way without thinking, even if s/he were copying from an American source.

There was anticipation that the building would collapse or be pulled. I remember wondering whether I should wait up and watch it or just go to bed as they were expecting it soon.
