There are claims that WTC7 was brought down by controlled demolition on 9/11. Supporters of this theory show photographs of the building from a misleading angle (it omits the smoke that seemed to pour out of the building due to fires inside). Many more photos exist that show massive fires burned throughout the building.

Some quote an owner of WTC7 (Larry Silverstein) as saying they demolished the building.<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7WYdAJQV100</ref> These people say that when he said in an interview that they decided to "pull" the building, he meant demolish. However, in this instance, "pull" does not mean demolish; it means to pull-out.

The BBC TV coverage is often cited for WTC7-related conspiracy theories, as it reports WTC7's collapse before it actually happened.<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNK1V6S2cbo</ref> WTTG (Washington DC's Fox affiliate) also makes this mistake.<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrEl4Lxok0Y</ref> Coverage from CNN used the phrase "may collapse".<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1LetB0z8_o</ref>
