Oops part 2

Now not only do the BBC say they "no longer have the tapes" (are they tapes or digital?) but the website on which they were discovered, and from which I downloaded the relevant bit on Tuesday, has now removed them all, saying that they were a. supposed to be in streaming format, and b. "not yet ready for public viewing". Also that "We are not censoring the files, but we have to make sure that we can offer the information in the correct way to preserve the content".
Google are also pulling the uploads as fast as they are put up!
It also appears that the BBC have to keep 3 copies of everything, according to their own website:
"The following components to be retained:-
· Two broadcast standard copies of all transmitted/published TV, Radio and BBCi output – one to be stored on a separate site as a master
· One browse-quality version for research purposes, to protect the broadcast material
· All supporting metadata to enable research and re-use
· A selection of original (i.e. unedited) material for re-use/re-versioning purposes
· Hardware/software/equipment to enable replay/transfer of the media"
It seems a remote possibility that they could really "no longer have the original tapes of our 9/11 coverage (for reasons of cock-up, not conspiracy)". Until this story broke they were all available.
By the way, why aren't the mainstream media covering this......?
