The building did eventually collapse, but the premature report has fueled conspiracy theories of suggesting foreknowledge. https://fullfact.org/online/bbc-world-trade-center-7-september-11/ https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2023/09/11/bbc-news-report-on-911-was-a-mistake-not-proof-of-plan-fact-check/70826459007/ https://www.bbc.com/news/58469600
