I am betting it is the same issue as this one: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=327639

If I just open one tab with a page that exhibits this bug, for example, http://www.infotecbsi.com/wildlife/ , it doesn't hang, or doesn't hang as much.  But if I open about 10 tabs from a folder into the background, including the just mentioned link as one of them, and then go and try to close it, it hangs for much longer.  I've seen it hang for about 6 seconds before, and if it has anything to do with RAM, I've got a gig of DDR ram and a 2.4 GHz P4.

On slower computers, it probably hangs for much longer...e.g. even makes the browser unusable.

http://video.cnn.com/ doesn't work for me anymore, do you see this problem also on other sites? You mentioned bbc.co.uk, I can't seem to find any video there.

Well, the description of the bug is reasonably clear, a browser hang in certain conditions
Except, the site has gone, so personally I would mark it WORKSFORME, for the moment (unless the reporter comes up with an example again).
(but ok, it doesn't matter that much, anyway)
