CBS video of WTC7 collapse

[Kryptos]

I would like to know the original source for the CBS News footage that shows the collapse of WTC7. The video shows the collapse starting at the penthouse, so many seconds before the north wall and entire building collapsed.

I have seen the video on YouTube/Google Video, including as part of boloboffin's excellent video. I looked at the videos on the Internet Archives and the collapse of WTC7 wasn't shown live in the CBS video posted there. When they did show it, I don't think they showed the complete footage.

Was this video footage broadcast live on any stations? I know CBS posts some video clips on its own website, but don't know if they ever posted the WTC7 collapse video. Or if any local CBS affiliates posted clips on their websites? Does anyone know?

It wasn't live on the CBS affiliate in Washington. (which is what's posted on the Internet Archives) Though, obviously they were busy covering the scene at the Pentagon. It could have been shown live in NYC or other places. Don't know.
