A Fox News hit piece against Jesse Ventura and the 9/11 truth movement written by former Washington D.C. prosecutor Jeffrey Scott Shapiro inadvertently reveals a shocking truth, that World Trade Center leaseholder Larry Silverstein, who collected nearly $500 million dollars in insurance as a result of the collapse of Building 7, a 47-story structure that was not hit by a plane but collapsed within seven seconds on September 11, was on the phone to his insurance carrier attempting to convince them that the building should be brought down via controlled demolition.
Writing for Fox News, Jeffr
"There's been 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."
Here is the video where Silverstein says he pulled building 7...
And for you debunkers that will attempt to say that Larry was talking about pulling out the firefighters, that's not what he said. He said pull "it". "IT" means the building.

If you consider that this building was full of black-ops evidence (receipts and bills, tax files etc.) it would be pretty convenient to make this whole # dissappear, by collapsing the building. They just needed a reason so they instantly created the myth of the "severly damaged" WTC7, that had to be pulled. All evidence gone in an instant.
So "it" pretty much meant the building. (thats my deeply biased opinion)

What did that mean? Why, the collapse of the Twin Towers, of course. He (Silverstein) was being warned by those on site of the danger that WTC 7, after its debris impact damage, and subsequent fires, could collapse.

I wonder what any construction and design engineers on ATS think about the oil rig off the coust of Louisiana. I heard this morning that it just sank.
Oil rigs. In the ocean. Built from steel, I would imagine? Yes?

WTC 7 fires fed by diesel fuel.
That would also mean the explosives were already in there somehow.

Nevertheless, there WAS substantial damage inflicted, and too many "Truth" sites neglect to remind people of that, as it's inconvenient to their "story".
"while debris impact from the collapse of WTC 1 initiated fires in WTC 7, the resulting structural damage had little effect in causing the collapse of WTC 7."

And, yet again, the misunderstanding is being repeated.
This seems to be a never-ending canard, and it keeps fooling people, BECAUSE of the garbage being spread and repeated by junk sites like "InfoWars".
Watch Silverstein over, and over...until it sinks in what he actually means, by the term "pull it".
(Hint: He's not tallking about controlled demolition).
"InfoWars" keeps doing this, taking snippents out of context, and some people keep falling for it.
I know this because I was working as a journalist for Gannett News at Ground Zero that day, and I remember very clearly what I saw and heard.
Shortly before the building collapsed, several NYPD officers and Con-Edison workers told me that Larry Silverstein, the property developer of One World Financial Center was on the phone with his insurance carrier to see if they would authorize the controlled demolition of the building – since its foundation was already unstable and expected to fall.
