lookingglassnews.org — Larry Silverstein, the owner of The Twin Towers and Building 7, said on a PBS TV documentary entitled America Rebuilds, broadcast in September 2002, that he and others made a decision to "pull" Building 7 because of fires on two of its floors.

@ dogsterThere was 20 floor hole in one side of WTC #7, it had been burning for hours, and there wasn't enough water pressure to fight the fires. The CNN report claimed it had fallen OR WAS ABOUT TO FALL. As with every news station they wanted to be the first to report things.Do you really think that the Govt would be smart enough to wire the building with explosives so cleverly not a single person involved with the operation (which would require thousands to perform and thousands more to ignore) woudl come forward, and the they would then be dumb enough to leak a report about it falling before it did?

"found lacking"?Are you kidding me? What specifically are you referring to?

@ GawtMilk"Pull" very directly refers to controlled demolition. If you watch the PBS clip, just before Silverstien's "pull" quote, they show several controled demolitions of other WTC buildings during the cleanup efforts. The professional controlled demolition experts are saying, "we're getting ready to pull building six." The context alone, to me at least, implies he is talking about demolishing the building, and not exacuating firefighters or other people.<a class="user" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNEoiOP76QQ">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNEoiOP76QQ</a>

@ liam76To be clear, the Bush Administration has NEVER explained anything about 9/11. Bush and Cheney did NOT testify under oath or even in PUBLIC to the 9/11 Commission. They even went in together (maybe so they got the story straight). From CNN, "Bush and Cheney did not testify before the panel -- they were not under oath and there was to be no recording made of the session nor a stenographer in the room." see full article - <a class="user" href="http://www.cnn.com/2004/ALLPOLITICS/04/29/bush.911.commission/index.html">http://www.cnn.com/2004/ALLPOLITICS/04/29/bush.911.commission/index.html</a>In addition, it's my understanding that Dr. Steven Jones' Article, "Why Indeed Did the WTC Buildings Completely Collapse?" is a peer reviewed article. I guess there's always debate over whether or not those "peers" cut the mustard, but here you go anyway - <a class="user" href="http://www.journalof911studies.com/volume/200609/Why_Indeed_Did_the_WTC_Buildings_Completely_Collapse_Jones_Thermite_World_Trade_Center.pdf">http://www.journalof911studies.com/volume/200609/Why_Indeed_Did_the_WTC_Buildings_Completely_Collapse_Jones_Thermite_World_Trade_Center.pdf</a>
