Could someone please explain this "collapse of WTC7 reported ahead of time" thing?

There seems to be a lot of fuss from the Tuthers about whether the BBC reported that WTC7 had collapsed before it actually had collapsed. as ever, it's a bit hard to make out what they are actually alleging.

Was the BBC reporting that WTC7 was going to collapse? That would appear to undermine the Truthers, who would have us believe that the collapse was sudden and unexpected, when we know that in fact it was inevitable according to the NYFD.

Has the timezone confusion been cleared up?

Are the Truthers just going on the word of their "sources" again?

Anyway, if someone could explain to me what the allegation is behind the spooky music, I'd be obliged.

I'd like to hear some comments on the internal politics of the Truth movement on this one. My comments: 1. The facts are that the BBC made a false statement in a live broadcast. Collapse of the building was expected for hours; the BBC likely misinterpreted some statement floating around. Under the circumstances, an understandable mistake. 2.There's not actually -any- allegation. It's a "Smoking Gun", we don't need no stinkin' allegation. Seriously, I think most of the nuts were incapable of forming a clear statement of the allegation. 3. Alex Jones was a major pusher; many of the new geniuses in the Dungeon likely came from his site. Presumably all the Truther sites were abuzz. 4. Brian Sacks and his organization was trying to make it an issue of journalistic integrity--keeping his name in the mix without actually saying anything idiotic.
