Since when does a landlord discuss demolishing a building in suspicious circumstances with a fire commander?
* Silverstein fluffs up by talking about demolishing the building to the Fire Chief who, funnily enough, didn't find this suspicious.
* Silverstein fluffs up again by then promptly telling everyone about it on TV some time later

I'd say that he meaned to say "then we made that decision, to pull the rescue operation back" or something like that..
I still don't know why they would have to demolish that building to save human lives? Area had been evacuated.

Why would a Fire Chief ask a landloard for that permission?

I dunno what Agentsmiths's trying to do, but he should do a better job.
In one post, he cites info saying that the firefighters stopped fighting the fire late in the day, then 180s and cites other info saying that they stopped earlier in the morning.
Riddle me this, Agent: what holds more weight, Silverstein's half-baked clarification or the fact that "pull it" means demolish a building. Did you listen to that clip of the construction worker? Since you probably didn't , this is what he says...
"Gettin' ready to pull building 6."
Later in the documentary, they go on to explain building demolition. Now why would he say that before they demolished building 6? Um, maybe because "pull it" means demolish a building!
Bigger question: why would Larry Silverstein say they decided to "pull it," and they then watched the building collapse? See preceding paragraph.
Try again, homey...
Originally posted by AgentSmithBecause he probably made the suggestion at an earlier stage than they would have during a more 'normal' incident.
I like the idea the Fire Department was in on it though, man you're paranoid... I hope for both your and their sake none of them see that.

Later in the day, the Fire Commander ordered his firefighters out of the building and at 5:20 p.m. the building collapsed. No lives were lost at Seven World Trade Center on September 11, 2001.

Elsewhere in the report it says:
5.23[...]the development of the fires was not significantly impeded by the firefighters because manual firefighting efforts were stopped fairly early in the day.

I've referred to groups of people as an 'it' before, and I've heard others doing it to. When you manage resources it is normal I think, even if it seems coldhearted.

Yeeeeeeeeeeah right! So you and Silverstein are the only two people in the world (along with your "imaginary friends") who accidentally used "it" to describe a group? I love you paid gov't saboteurs!

I have plenty of friends thanks, I mix with some pretty respectable people, something you probably wouldn't understand as anyone with any sense or above the age of 12 would not be inclined to engage you in conversation.
