On September 11, 2001, BBC News reported the collapse of World Trade Center Building 7 (WTC 7) approximately 26 minutes before it actually occurred at 5:20 p.m. EDT. During a live broadcast, BBC reporter Jane Standley announced that the Salomon Brothers building (WTC 7) had
collapsed, while the building was still visibly standing in the background. This error stemmed from an incorrect report by Reuters, which the BBC and other outlets, including CNN, picked up. Reuters later issued a correction.
