Building Collapse in New York

Now, more on the latest building collapse in

New York.

You might have heard a few moments ago, I was talking about the Salomon Brothers

building collapsing, and indeed it has.

It seems that this was not a result of a new attack.

It was because the, uh, building had been weakened, uh,

during this

morning's attacks. We'll probably find out more now about

that from our

correspondent, Jane Stanley. Jane, what more can you tell us about the

Salomon Brothers building and its collapse?

Well, only really what you already know. Details are very, very sketchy.

As you can see behind me, the, uh, Trade Center appears to be

still burning. We see these huge clouds of smoke and ash,

and we know that behind that there's an empty piece of what

was a very familiar New York skyline, a symbol of

the financial prosperity of this city, but, uh,

completely disappeared now and New York is still

unable to take on board what has happened to them today.
