The claim: On 9/11, BBC reported building collapse 26 minutes early; it was a pre-rigged demolition

Firefighters work beneath the destroyed mullions, the vertical struts which once faced the soaring outer walls of the World Trade Center towers, after a terrorist attack in New York, Sept. 11, 2001. The remains of two people who died in the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center have been identified, the latest positive identification in the decades-long effort to return victims to their families. Authorities confirmed the identification of the remains of a man and woman days ahead of the 22nd anniversary of the hijacked-plane attack that killed nearly 3,000 people in Lower Manhattan.© Mark Lennihan, AP

The video shows a BBC News anchor and reporter, who stated on the air that Building 7 had collapsed, despite the building still visibly standing in the background. Not long after the BBC report aired, the building fell.

The Instagram user wrote in the caption, “Larry Silverstein said we decided to 'pull the building' that means they collapsed it on purpose," a reference to the billionaire who owned the building.

The Instagram post was liked more than 2,000 times in one day.
