It is known that a unital simple ${{C}^{*}}$-algebra $A$ with tracial topological rank zero has real rank zero. We show in this note that, in general, there are unital ${{C}^{*}}$-algebras with tracial topological rank zero that have real rank other than zero.

Let $0\,\to \,J\,\to \,E\,\to A\,\to \,0$ be a short exact sequence of ${{C}^{*}}$-algebras. Suppose that $J$ and $A$ have tracial topological rank zero. It is known that $E$ has tracial topological rank zero as a ${{C}^{*}}$-algebra if and only if $E$ is tracially quasidiagonal as an extension. We present an example of a tracially quasidiagonal extension which is not quasidiagonal.
