Silverstein had no authority over anything going on that day, the incident commander was in charge.
The only reason for the call to Silverstein was to let him know that they could not save building 7. So when he says PULL IT he could have only been talking about the builidng.
Also the last line of his conversation gives it away when he states "and we watched the building collapse"
I remember getting a call from the, er, fire department commander, telling me that they were not sure they were gonna be able to contain the fire, and I said, "We've had such terrible loss of life, maybe the smartest thing to do is pull it." And they made that decision to pull and we watched the building collapse.
"We've had such terrible loss of life, maybe the smartest thing to do is pull it." And they made that decision to pull and we watched the building collapse.

Lets go back to the significance of that quote.
"We've had such terrible loss of life, maybe the smartest thing to do is pull it." And they made that decision to pull and we watched the building collapse.
Who made the decision? Who is they?

CDI was initially retained by Tully Construction Co. Inc., one of the site's four main cleanup management contractors, to assess debris removal in its sector that includes the former Two WTC and several smaller buildings. The site's other contractors have also agreed to CDI's involvement, with the goal of creating a site-wide master plan, says one contractor executive.
Conventional demolition of 5 WTC is not possible currently because it would get in the way of debris removal operations for the collapsed 7 WTC, which itself is a stand-alone operation.
Freestanding sections of the towers can "probably" be pulled over using cables and heavy equipment, says CDI.
To accelerate steel removal, Weeks Marine Inc. has created two steel offloading areas that ramped up operations last week to transport debris by barge for recycling.
Business was slow at first as truckdrivers maneuvered through the site and city streets and had to pass muster with fbi officials checking for evidence. One site source says security was beefed up after some drivers sold steel privately to scrap dealers.
Wittich says the city has awarded contracts to two private scrap dealers to handle 50,000 tons of steel. The rest is expected to be used to create offshore artificial reefs or head for "upland" disposal." -Construction.com/enr.com (10/1/01)

You are ridiculous man. Really. AMEC did alot of the cleanup at the sites.

I know that they worked alongside Tulley. They were independently contracted as were the others. AMEC was however the only one to work both WTC 1 and 2 also.

WTC7 was build to last even through the heaviest of fires. Steel frame structures do not fail from fires. Most recently the fire in Madrid proves this.
As far as demo-ing a building, it´s quite easy when at construction time a layer of C4 is sandwiched into the concrete support structure to accomodate controlled emergency demolition. (for safety reasons ofcourse). Small timed detonators the size of a pen into strategic inspection ports did the trick on all three buildings.
Ask David Rockefeller about the WTC C4 failsafe and see his response. (Duck)

and i suppose you can upload a video of you interviewing dave on this matter? no? so youre guessing and hypothesising and just flat out posting opinions on that one huh?
ok, well when u get that interview let us know, id love to see it. along with ANY proof there was ANY explosives anywhere near those buildings.

Now why would Dave give himself heart failure by coming out of the closet like that? Does it really matter what I post? Does it really matter that military came in to finish parts of the welding during construction?
Yes, I´m serious. I am also seriously searching ATS to see why this is muffled away cleanly every time it has been brought up.
