In an amazing redux, new video has been unearthed of a CNN report on the day of 911 in which a CNN anchor announces they have received word that WTC 7 is on fire and "has either collapsed or is collapsing." The problem with this is that WTC 7 is clearly visible behind the anchor.

This report was carried at "about 4:15 eastern daylight time" (according to the anchor), over an hour before the building actually collapsed at 5:20. Who told them the WTC 7 building "has either collapsed or is collapsing."? Keep in mind he did not say it was going to collapse, he said it either had or was in the process of doing so. The anchor says is "we are getting information now", who is giving him this information? If you pay close attention you can see after the anchor announces this he turns around and sees the building as clear as day still standing, he then proceeds to backtrack on the initial information which informed him clearly the building "has either collapsed or is collapsing."

This report is doubled in significance seeing as it comes on the heels of a report that BBC announced that WTC 7 had collapsed over 20 minutes before it actually fell. Both of the anchors were told the building had collapsed, the question is who told them?

Surely, some will say they knew the building was going to collapse because it was on fire. This claim holds no water due to the fact no steel building has ever collapsed due to fire. For example in 2005 the Madrid Sky Scraper was a towering inferno for hours on end and it did not come close to collapsing.

FULL CONTEXT

In order to understand the full significance of this video it needs to be put in context.

Firstly, a poll was conducted in 2006 which showed 42% of Americans were unaware a third building, WTC 7, collapsed on 911(PDF). Considering how many thousands of times the twin towers were shown collapsing on television, that in itself is extremely significant. There is, of course, a reason 42% of Americans do not know the story of WTC 7. If you watch the video below you will find out.

Secondly, there is smoking gun video of the owner of WTC 7, Larry Silverstein, admitting on a PBS documentary he ordered the building "Pulled" which is an industry term for demolished.

Larry Silverstein made billions off the collapse of the building as reported here.

Larry “Lucky Larry” Silverstein

You’ve got to be lucky to make $4 Billion killing on a 6-month investment of $124 Million.

Larry Silverstein is the New York property tycoon who purchased the entire WTC complex just 6 months prior to the 9/11 attacks. That was the first time in its 33-year history the complex had EVER changed ownership.

Mr. Silverstein’s first order of business as the new owner was to change the company responsible for the security of the complex. The new security company he hired was Securacom (now Stratasec). George W. Bush's brother, Marvin Bush, was on its board of directors, and Marvin’s cousin, Wirt Walker III, was its CEO. According to public records, not only did Securacom provide electronic security for the World Trade Center, it also covered Dulles International Airport and United Airlines — two key players in the 9/11 attacks.

Additionally, Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who was in WTC 7 before it collapsed, admitted on ABC news he was warned the buildings were going to collapse.

I .. I went down to the scene and we set up a headquarters at 75 Barkley Street, which was right there with the Police Commissioner, the Fire Commissioner, the Head of Emergency Management, and we were operating out of there when we were told that the World Trade Center was gonna' to collapse. And it did collapse before we could actually get out of the building, so we were trapped in the building for 10, 15 minutes, and finally found an exit, got out, walked north, and took a lot of people with us.
