Lemkin,
While it does seem very odd that this was on BBC before the building came down... is it not possible that:
The FDNY and the NYC DOB had informed the media... who likely was hounding them all day about what was going on with bldg 7 that they were concerned that it might collapse.
The substation under bldg 7 apparently went off line and exploded... transformers at the moment the first plane hit tower one... there was a loss of water pressure and the sprinklers in bldg 7 were not working.
While we don't know the extent of the fires and they may not have been the cause of the collapse... they were not fought and I believe FDNY pulled their men out and just waited hoping that the nothing would happen... or that if it were to collapse the area was evacuated.
There were reports that a surveyor from the FDNY or NY DOB with a transit had detected slight motion in the building...and this would indicate that the frame was beginning to fail, twist, torque, distort. If this is true it could lead to reports to the media that they believe the building would collapse.
And perhaps the media people did a stand up in front of a camera to put on air to be the first..
I am not saying this is the explanation... but foreknowledge that the structure was under stress is not foreknowledge that they were going to take it down. It could but perhaps it wasn't.
What was Jane Stanley's explanation? Or the BBC news producer... haven't they been asked?
