so even the right-wing pundits know "Pull it" is to demolish a building. And thats why it was not included in his story, white wash is right,
it's only a matter of time
Snip~
I first explained to Smith that if he talked to people in the construction industry, he would understand that to “pull” a building is to professionally demolish it. He responded that he had never heard that before (presumably before Walter had brought it up) and that Silverstein’s people had explained that this was not what he meant by the remark. Smith did not explain to me how Silverstein’s spokesperson understood the expression “pull it”.
I then pointed out that Smith’s story did not feature Silverstein’s now infamous 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.”
Why, I asked, did he not include the quote in his story and let the reader understand what all the fuss was about and decide for themselves what they thought Silverstein meant. Smith replied “I didn’t feel it was crucial to the story.”
Silverstein "Pull it" .
On a PBS documentary video released in Sept. 2002, the WTC leaseholder Larry Silverstein is shown saying that a fire department commander tells him that the fire in the WTC 7 might not be able to be contained and Silverstein recommends to the commander that maybe the smartest decision to make to avoid risking any more lives is to "pull it". Right afterwards, Silverstein says the decision was made to "pull" and then they all watched the building collapse...
