Now, it's the US who has capitalized on the spreading of disinformation by invading countries and stealing our liberty. Don't be confused by those that would have you believe that by doubting the OS, someone is getting rich off of it. The OS, by itself, is misinformation, and anyone who defends it is either incredibly stupid, or a traitor.
As the nation prepares to mark the 10th anniversary of the September 11 attacks, a pair of leading internet archivists are launching an ambitious project called "Understanding 9/11: A Television News Archive," which catalogs 3,000 hours of domestic and international TV news footage from 20 channels from the week around September 11, 2001. Television news coverage of the September 11 attacks and their aftermath not only documented one of the most important events in mass memory but also influenced public perception. We feature excerpts of coverage from the global archive and speak with its organizers, Brewster Kahle and Rick Prelinger. Kahle is an internet entrepreneur, activist, digital librarian and founder of the Internet Archive and the Open Content Alliance, a group of organizations committed to making a permanent, publicly accessible archive of digitized texts. Prelinger is an archivist, writer, filmmaker and founder of the Prelinger Archives, a collection of 60,000 advertising, educational, industrial and amateur films acquired by the Library of Congress in 2002 after 20 years’ operation. "[9/11] was a major event that was really a television event. People really understood this through television," says Kahle. He adds that seeing "how people are starting to come to grips with it really shaped how we saw the whole event." [includes rush transcript]
The 9/11 Television News Archive is a library of news coverage of the events of 9/11/2001 and their aftermath as presented by U.S. and international broadcasters. A resource for scholars, journalists, and the public, it presents one week of news broadcasts for study, research and analysis. Television is our pre-eminent medium of information, entertainment and persuasion, but until now it has not been a medium of record. This Archive attempts to address this gap by making TV news coverage of this critical week in September 2001 available to those studying these events and their treatment in the media.

There is a good interview on democracy now of two guys who set up an internet archive with more than 3000 hrs of original 911 news video footage.
If you watch the democracy now clip. There is one great piece of video from the archive that shows a news reporter standing in front of a still standing building 7 saying the building had already collapsed.
3)Our reporter Jane Standley was in New York on the day of the attacks, and like everyone who was there, has the events seared on her mind. I've spoken to her today and unsurprisingly, she doesn't remember minute-by-minute what she said or did - like everybody else that day she was trying to make sense of what she was seeing; what she was being told; and what was being told to her by colleagues in London who were monitoring feeds and wires services.
4)If we reported the building had collapsed before it had done so, it would have been an error - no more than that.

That's hilarious Dave. The BBC doesn't have the original tapes of 911. They don't deny the reporter being in front of the falling building either while on TV.
The Archive guys claim their tapes are real, and stand by that.
I haven't seen any evidence that the archive tapes are not real.
The BBC article bolsters their position:
