Here's a really scary one. It' footage from the BBC, their live feed from 9/11/2001. The clip is really long, and hardly worth subjecting yourself to watching the whole thing. At the 14:50 mark, the BBC correspondent in New York starts discussing the collapse of the Saloman Building (follow the link, then scroll down to the bottom of the page), whose address was 7 World Trade Center plaza. It's WTC7, the other building that went down. But as she discusses this, WTC7 is clearly visible out the window behind her. It hasn't collapsed. You can see it (and indeed, this version overlays text pointing it out) clearly at the 16:05 mark. The BBC started talking about the collapse of WTC7 a full 23 minutes before it happened. The video is quite lengthy, and a bit painful to watch in it's entirety - but it's at least worth watching from the 15:30 to 16:30 mark.
Other than some text overlay (and intro music and follow-up stuff after it finishes around the 21:55 mark), the footage is unedited from what aired live. I've never been to New York, and only know WTC7 from a handful of stills, such as the links above. So if anyone reading this has seen it, and thinks that's not WTC7 behind her, I'd love to hear from you. As it stands, this scares the crap out of me.
(It also reminds me of that part in JFK about the australian newspapers.)
