The collapse of 7 World Trade Center occurred during this video. The resulting dust & smoke cloud is plainly visible. I spent most of the late morning and early afternoon filming the aftermath of the attacks from the promenade along the Belt Parkway in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. This video includes the live radio coverage from the two major all-news AM stations in New York, 1010 WINS and WCBS 880.

That linesman was Bogdan Dotchev of Bulgaria. It looks like handball from all angles, but that linesman is the one who had the perfect view of it. Clearly, that linesman was corrupt.

MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski refuses to talk about Paris Hilton as a *Lead Story* on the Morning Joe show. Perhaps more people in the media & news outlets should TAKE her example and STOP propping up worthless news as LEAD stories. The public deserves a little more respect than to be fed gossip and 'filler' material disguised as NEWS. A bit more on this is said at http://truenito.blogspot.com, and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mika_Brzezinski (..less)
