How about highlighting what Silverstein said? Not just "pull" but "pull it". You are really getting on my nerves with your ignoramous arguments. Sorry to be blunt.
Stop with the personal attacks to make up for your idiotic logic. He said IT because IT refers to the firefighting effort. It consists of more than just some men, but the whole effort. That means the whole process itself.
There's nothing wrong with being blunt, but it's important to get your facts right and not to use wild speculation.

And I personally have a deep resentment for people like you who are blaming the firefighters for the attacks. The very men who lost their lives and you blame them. Shame on you.
I personally have a deep resentment for people like you who have the gall to say they know everything even when proven wrong. Good day to you and you are being ignored from now on. I don't know why I even took you off the list. Thought that you might have something worthwhile to say. I guess not. back to ignore you go.

Ah I se. SO I guess Griff's personal attack is justified because he can see the future and knew I would respond in a manner that was to give example of his attack. I see. So long as you can predict the future of how people will respond to your personal attacks it's OK to initiate personal attacks.
Goes right along with your proof of a CD being "It looks like one to me".
Sorry for posting the whole quoted material but there is a point to it.
Notice how my "ignoramous arguments" are a personal attack to snoopy but him saying my "idiotic logic" isn't? This is the circular/hypocritical logic that we have to deal with around here.

Are you serious? Please, pretty please, show us.

Why would Larry Silverstein have any say over the actions of the FDNY?

Can anyone care to explain THEIR theory on how such a massive 50 story building came down without damaging the surrounding building and in a pile 2 stories tall?

The proof is in the puddin. If they were to collapse from fires or structural damage they wouldn't of fallen straight down and they wouldn't of fallen in one peice like a stack of cards. It would of been a much slower process with different peices falling in different ways.

He wouldn't. If you'll watch the video again you'll see he says "THEY made the decision to pull. The FDNY commander was just telling him that they had decided not to fight the fire in WTC7.

They had to get everyone out of the area to prevent further loss of life.

Then I suggest that the term "pull back" might have been far more likely to be used, considering that all emergency-service efforts were not suspended that day after getting off the phone with "Chief" Silverstein.

How slow?....hmmmm, much slower than that I'm sure of. Why?.....hmmmm, use a little commen sense and that isn't hard to figure out, the fires would cause certain areas to lose integrity causing the building to cave in certain areas first. Certainly the highest floor of the building wouldn't cave in like in the video. There is absolutely no way it would fall so fluidly from top to bottom.

I still don't see why he would have been consulted.
More importantly, there was no firefighting effort to "pull" anyway.

Mabey the wtc 7 was prewired with demolition charges incase of an terrorist attack or major fire, the fire department or a terrorist dressed as a fireman could gain access to extremely sensitive information in the name of fire fighting so it would be prudent to pull it.
