Ok so pull it here means to bring it down on purpose.
Ok, and "pull it" when it came to the other buildings meant something else.
I cant get over the lies.

Ask any fire marshal or fire investigator in the insurance industry what happens to steel when it is heated in a fire... it does not melt, but it does warp, twist, bend, and weaken.

Um, that video is bogus.
WTC 7 was COMPLETELY covered in debris from WTC 1 and 2 debris falling onto it.
And did no one notice that the billowing smoke in the background doesn't move at all?
Regarding buildings falling due to fire:

Normally buildings don't fall from fire because high-rise buildings are fully sprinklered. When there is a fire, the sprinklers in the fire area activate and control the flames until the fire department comes and extinguishes them. This did not happen in WTC 1 and 2 because many sprinkler pipes and riser pipes were severed in the initial crashes and FDNY never put ANY water on these fires.
WTC 7 sprinklers were functioning but FDNY decided not to risk any more lives, partially due to the enormous loss they had already incurred. But mostly because when there is a fire the Fire Department's job is to save lives and minimize property loss. WTC 7 had already been evacuated so there was no danger of loss of life. And the building was so severely damaged due to intense fire caused by the ignition of diesel fuel stored in the building to power the Office of Emergency Management's generator. So FDNY knew there was no danger to life, no danger of the fire spreading to surrounding buildings, and no chance for the building being usable again due to the intense diesel fuel fed fire. So FDNY, AND NO ONE ELSE, made the decision to "pull", which in fire-fighting terms means to pull the fire fighting operation out and let it burn.

Didn't the WTC towers sort of collapse like that?
So doesn't that support the claim that controlled explosives were used in the towers?

The show said building 7 collapsed because a fire raged out of control for 7 hours unchecked or something like that

What other buildings were said to have been pulled?

Normally? NEVER!!!
Buildings fallen from fire before 9/11 = 0
Buildings fallen from fire after 9/11 = 0
