Foreknowledge of the Collapse by the NYPD, FDNY, and the media
The British Broadcast Company (BBC) prematurely reported the collapse of the Salomon Brothers building, or WTC Building 7, 23 minutes before it actually occurred with the building still standing right behind the head of reporter Jane Standley.
CNN anchor Aaron Brown stated approximately an hour before the collapse of Building 7 that the building "has either collapsed or is collapsing" (Foreknowledge of WTC 7's Collapse, 2009).

Analysis of witness accounts shows that the evacuation of the area surrounding WTC 7 started sometime near 4:00pm and was completed only a few minutes before the complete collapse of the building at 5:20pm (Foreknowledge of WTC 7's Collapse, 2009).
Eyewitness testimony of explosive events before and after the aircraft strikes was established 118 times in audio transcripts (FDNY Transcripts).
