Shocker that when big, horrendous events happen that it's all chaos and people not knowing what's happening for hours and hours afterwards.
You know, not everything is a big fucking conspiracy. Sometimes its just different groups operating on different levels of available information and on different opinions on said information in the immediate aftermath of a horrific disaster.. I doubt the New Orleans mayor spends a ton of time working with the FBI, a completely separate organization.
Nobody knew what the fuck was happening in the first hours after 9/11 either, so much so that they changed laws about information sharing between organizations due to the lack of clear communications at the time, which only ever sort of helped.

The BBC was working off an incorret Reuters report when they made the report and I don't expect a foreign news correspondent to be super familiar with which building WTC 7 actually was. Mistakes and miscommunications happen.
