What the advertisement was intended to do

The BuildingWhat television advertisement was part of a campaign seeking public support for a New York City Council investigation into World Trade Center Building 7, according to a December 3, 2010 retrospective published by Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth. [1]

That retrospective says the campaign concept arose in spring 2010 among New York City Coalition for Accountability Now members, who sought a Council investigation and thought television footage of the building's destruction would build momentum. [1]

Production and reported broadcasts

An archived campaign bulletin dated October 27, 2010, announced a planned November 2–10 New York City run. The retrospective reports that filmmaker John Kirby shot the advertisement and that it aired in the New York metropolitan area through the week of November 29. [2] [1]

The advertisement and the historical record

The retrospective is a campaign account, not an independent broadcast record, and it does not settle the technical merits of claims about Building 7. [1]

No authenticated original advertisement, script, transcript, recording date or rights statement is presented here; that limit reflects the available record, not proof that none exists elsewhere.
