You know who else didn't know in advance?
BBC. About 20 minutes before it collapsed, Jane Standley stood with WTC 7 over her left shoulder and announced that the "Salomon Brothers Building (WTC 7) had collapsed. What do you think? Did CNN and BBC make simultaneous mistakes (figure the odds of THAT) or did a press alert go out early? Isn't it enough to get some kind of investigation going, particularly when the story about the cause of the collapse itself is a rube goldberg invention of improbabilities that doesn't come close to answering why it collapsed, and disregards the scenario that explains the manner of collapse - controlled demolition - by matching characteristics of that building's destruction ten for ten. The collapse by fire, besides never having happened before to a steel-frame hi-rise, matches not at all (purely theoretical since we have no prior cases to compare to). Then there is the whole Larry Silverstein confession to arson ("maybe the smartest thing to do is 'pull it' ) on PBS itself. Just a coincidence, I am sure. Aaron, are you going to just be another Corporate shill in the guise of a reporter, or are you going to actually try to bring some of this very well-concealed story to daylight?
