RE: "A massive explosion, witnessed by millions of television viewers on CNN"
I've seen that claimed, but I hope there is a different photo to back it up.
Compare the video capture you posted:

To one with better resolution:

I think you'd have a hard time making a case for it being something other than a clip of the first collapse rather than from the earlier second plane crash. There's only one tower standing, there's a dust cloud on the right side of it where the other tower used to be, that dust cloud couldn't be confused as being from the fires as the fires were much higher up on the building, and the dust cloud roiling upward is part of a dust cloud that is visible quite a way past the tower.
Is it odd that Federal employees were evacuated from WTC 6 within 12 minutes of the beginning of the attacks, considering how little effort was made along those lines anywhere else in the complex? Yeah, I'd say so.
Reviewing the article, only one eyewitness is quoted as confirming an explosion at the time of the second plane crash. If there was a plane crash and an explosion, that would make two explosions. Is the witness confirming one explosion, or two?
How reliable are the quotes by the unnamed CNN employee?
If an explosive device had enough force to blow out five floors and a roof, why didn't it blow out the walls as well?
If the clip is indeed of the second plane crash, why would the plane crash part be edited out, when that would have been the most news worthy portion of the footage at a time when it was breaking news less than 20 minutes old?
So, is it possible WTC 6 was bombed in some fashion or another? Sure, any explanation is as good as the next when the facts are being held hostage.
Would the evidence convince a skeptic? I sincerely doubt it.
