The BBC explanation is kind of interesting:

bbc.co.uk

It looks to me that the first reporter was misquoted, then the misquote was repeated.

What would be a lot more useful than this urban legend type stuff would be to get hold of unredacted tapes/transcripts of the first responder radio calls. I think it would be a reasonable assumption that if the firemen knew the building was coming down, and when, they would announce it to all of their people to get them out of harm's way.

Since that's the picture most researchers have put together anyhow, getting the tapes would confirm it one way or the other. It should also be possible to trace those communications up the chain of command to identify the origin.

The idea that reporters, on location, were saying the building was down, with the building standing in the background, looks more like a really foolish mistake than anything conspiratorial. It seems to me someone who was part of a conspiracy would be a lot better informed.

Wouldn't those "in the know" be looking for the best place to put the camera, to capture the most spectacular collapse footage?

If you're looking for suspects I think it'd make more sense to see who got the best shots, rather than focus on those who obviously didn't have a clue about what was going on.
