I found it! Tony, could you be mistaken on the date? This is Sept. 8, 2002. History Channel.

Now, if we can figure out how to obtain or listen to this episode. You can't watch it or buy it on Amazon, but all the other History's Business episodes are accounted for in 2003 and 2004 and this is the only one that has Silverstein. So around the same time frame that he did the PBS interview.

After making and uploading this video. . .

. . . which includes the bit from this interview where Tony Szamboti recalls hearing Larry Silverstein say WTC 7 was a controlled demolition, I then saw this thread in here, from early 2008 . .

. . in that thread, I noticed a post by Tony Szamboti where he says that the episode of 'History's Business' where Larry Silverstein said WTC 7 was brought down in a controlled demolition was from 2002, whereas in this recent interview he says that the episode in question was from 2004. So I was a little unsure about why there was this difference in Tony's account. And knowing that if this was picked up by some "debunker" it might be used to try and discredit both Tony (saying he'd changed his story, etc) and my video, I thought I'd write to Tony and ask him about this, so I did, and Tony replied, clarifying everything very nicely. Below are the three emails I got from him during our correspondence, and I'm sharing them here, for the record, so that others can get a correct understanding of everything.

You need to hear the full chronology:

- I was perplexed about the collapse of Building 7 after hearing about it on the ride home from work on Sept. 11, 2001.

- I saw Larry Silverstein on History's Business say "Building 7 was a controlled demolition" and thought that explained it. I was not suspicious that anything was wrong. On that show they had talked about the new "Freedom Tower" design that had won the competition and showed an artist's rendition of the 1776 foot tall tower.

- I read Steven Jones' paper in early 2006 and only then asked myself when there would have been a chance to set the charges and realized something was wrong.

- I looked on the Internet and the official reason being given in early 2006 for Building 7's collapse was fire. I then knew I may have seen something that was later changed and called the History Channel asking to purchase a copy of the show without saying why I wanted it. I was told the series was not available to the public.

- I mentioned it to people in the background, asking if there were any archive services that might have the episode. I did not post publicly about it, not
wanting to alert people who might want to hide the episode.

- Finally, I decided to mention it publicly on 911 Blogger and on the Scholars for 911 Truth and Justice forum hoping to enlist more people in the search for it. Someone found a mention of a Sept. 2002 appearance by Larry Silverstein on the History's Business show on a website called Couchville.

- In 2008 or so, after I had first mentioned it publicly, Bill Veale was able to get a copy of the Sept. 2002 episode of History's Business and it did not include any discussion of the new "Freedom Tower", so it became apparent that it was not the episode I had seen. I then looked up when the "Freedom Tower" competition had occurred and when the winning design was unveiled. It was December 2003. So it seems the episode I saw occurred sometime during or after December 2003. I did not know that when first posting about it on 911 Blogger and the Scholars forum and had thought it maybe was the 2002 show after someone found that listing.

Your video is fine and is only telling the truth. I saw Larry Silverstein say on a History's Business episode "Building 7 was a controlled demolition". That is a reality and I have said it publicly many times now. The History Channel is not cooperating other than to give Bill Veale the Sept. 2002 episode, which did not include the "Freedom Tower" design discussion and artist's rendition, so it can't be the show I saw.

Second email: 01.28.15

I did not bring up the "Freedom Tower" discussion until after Bill Veale got the Sept. 2002 episode and told me Larry Silverstein didn't say anything about Building 7 being a controlled demolition in that show. It was only then that I asked if it mentioned these other things to see if it was the same show. As I said, it apparently wasn't and only after seeing the "Freedom Tower" design competition selection occurred in December 2003 did I realize the show I had seen had to have been after that. It was basically an assumption at first that it was the Sept. 2002 show, after someone had found a listing for it and before Bill got a copy of it. Apparently, Larry Silverstein was on History's Business more than once. His appearance on the episode I saw was likely in response to the results of the design competition and the unveiling of the new "Freedom Tower" design. The appearance on the Sept. 2002 episode was likely about the first anniversary of 911 and did not include the discussion of the new building design and its artist's rendition as that hadn't happened yet.

Third email: 01.29.15

Larry Silverstein certainly said what I am saying. There is nothing being made up about it. As I said on Julian Charles' show, it doesn't behoove me to make something like this up. It is the last thing I would do as it does not help me in any way and I certainly would not want to be sending people on a wild goose chase. The reason I remember it fairly well is that I was perplexed about the collapse of Building 7 and his comment settled it with what I thought at the time was a legitimate explanation. Of course, once I read Steven Jones' paper a couple of years later, the light went on that there was a problem and that is what caused me to start looking into it.

If you remember, there was another sort of admission in 2010, with what journalist Jeffrey Shapiro said about Larry Silverstein having been on the phone with his insurers asking for permission to demolish Building 7.

You can quote me on this and what we have discussed here. I wouldn't have any time for horses asses who would disingenuously try to demean me by saying I was changing my story. It is clear why I at first thought it was 2002 when someone found that Silverstein had appeared on a show at that time. I didn't remember the exact year by 2006, when I realized there was a problem, only what he said, because I thought it had settled a significant dilemma I had. There was no reason to think he was on there more than once. It was only after getting that 2002 episode and not having the comment in there that we scrutinized it with other things and realized that it was another show. Everything fits as the "Freedom Tower" design was not unveiled until December 2003 and it couldn't have been talked about or an artist's rendition of it shown in Sept. 2002.

I have wondered to myself if they could have edited it, but that might not be so easy if they have to worry about it somehow being out there in the public with recording devices having been available at the time. I also wonder if they got rid of it and that is why the listings for the History's Business episodes are so scattered and incomplete.

Yeah, it's very likely that Silverstein's admission is just laying around in someone's house on a VHS tape somewhere. Quite a thought really, Silverstein admitting controlled demolition, just sitting there gathering dust somewhere! As one person said earlier, this is indeed frustrating!
