There is nothing false about my statement. I am simply stating what I hear when I listen to that clip.

Further more, no matter what he said, He was talking about the fire department actions. As it has been pointed out by numerous people, since when does the fire department blow up buildings?
Do you actually think that they ran into the building at the last minute and placed demolition charges?
Do you actually think that Siverstein blew up his own building and admitted it on TV?
Your view of reality is a strange one indeed.

Actually, the money the insurance companies want to pay out is far less then the replacement value of the buildings that were lost.
Silverstien underinsured the buildings.
That is why he is fighting to have the attacks considered as two "occurrences" (one for each plane).
If the insurance companies thought that there was even the slightest possibility of fraud, do you think that they would pay out?

CPYKOmega, perhaps you missed the thread where the definition of the term pull was discussed as it is used by fire fighters. I'm not going to dig it up again, so . . .
Like many occupations, fire fighters have a distinct and definite language that they use to communicate with each other. Since they are involved in a deadly occupation it is imperative that they all share the same definition for commonly used terms.
To the NYFD, the term pull is just a shorthand for pulling back and letting a fire burn.
This is a fairly common term among fire fighters. Here are some typical examples of its use:
Source
pull back.
Source
pull back.
Source
pull back. ....Pull back.
Source
pull back.
Some slightly different terminology used here:
Source
pull back.
Source
pull back.
Source
pull back.
Source
pull back.
Source
pull back..
And on, and on, and on. . . .

There were no intense fires, check the witness reports, look at the holes in the towers.

Has a decent analysis of the WTC collapse.
Are any of you aware that the WTC North Tower fell faster than the rate of freefall in a total vaccuum ?
Jim Hoffman notes that Corus
Construction performed extensive tests subjecting uninsulated steel-frame carparcks to prolonged
hydrocarbon-fuled fires. The highest
recorded steel temperatures were 360 deg C.
[911research.wtc.net...] This is substantiated by Jim McMichael,
who wrote that the maximum temperature achieved in fire testing of unprotected steel supports [in the
U.K., Japan, the U.S. and Australia] was 360 degrees C (680 F), a long way from the first critical
threshold in structural steel, 550 degrees C (1022 F). Heat from the Tower beams was continuously
conducted from the heated portions to the cooler portions below, suggesting an even lower maximum
temperature. ["Muslims Suspend Laws of Physics,"www.Public-Action.com/911/mcmichael.html]
Charles Clifton is a technical expert in determining the effects of severe fire and earthquake on steel
framed buildings. He believed that fire could not possibly have caused the towers to collapse. [Painful
Questions]
