Nobody ever said it was "slang" to my knowledge.
It is an industry term used throughout the entire English speaking world when referencing a controlled demolition or giving the order to do so.
Sort of like how E.R. Dr's say "clear" before hitting the patient with the paddles or the way police officers say "officer down" on the radio instead of saying "Bob just got shot in the stomach".
It's hardly debatable.
Have you ever been around construction or demolition projects? Even a little bit?

Erm, sorry to disappoint you dear chap, but you are completely wrong. Maybe a few people just regurgitate what they read, but personally, I used my eyes and ears to work it out. Explosions and falling into own footprint in the way all 3 buildings did is enough to figure out it was a controlled demolition. One does not need other people to present their views for me to come to that conclusion. I'm sure you have watched the videos, it's blatantly obvious.
NIST employed more PhD's than you can shake a stick at on their investigations into the collapses of WTC 1,2 &7.
What a waste of time and money when they could have come straight to you for your assessment based on watching youtube clips.
Dude, stop being so naive. Water does not run uphill. Buildings do not collapse spontaneously at freefall velocity (this has been proven). They don't collapse because of a few random office fires. You do not need a PhD to know that these things are indisputable.
A few random office fires?
Did you miss the part about planes loaded with 100,000 pounds of jet fuel crashing into them at 500 mph?
Maybe you do need a PHD.
Actually...you are probably the one that should go back to school. Jet fuel doesn't burn hot enough to melt steel. The airline industry noticed that the engines all last longer that way.
Think about it for a while. Think about how thin those blades on a turbine are in comparison to hardened steel I-beams.
It would stand to reason not to use fuel that burns so hot it could liquify the engine mid-flight under the right conditions, wouldn't it?

So if I understand the Truthers correctly, the government planted explosives inside the Twin Towers and WTC 7 because their plan from the beginning was to demolish these buildings. And instead of having one person responsible for detonating the explosives, they decided to let Silverstein have the authority to give the order to the Fire Department Commander?
This makes no sense and only brings up dozens of more questions:
Why would Silverstein give the order?
Why would the Commander get the order?
Did the Commander push the button, or relay the order to a 3rd person?
Why involve so many people, when one person sitting at a desk could have detonated the explosives in all 3 buildings?
If one were to believe every Truther explanation, the planning and execution of something the size of 9/11 would have taken thousands of people. You have people giving orders to demolish buildings, people pushing the detonator, people making fake phones calls to passengers' family, someone else writing the script for the fake phone call, people planting explosives, carpenters fixing where the explosives were hidden, people digging holes and planting evidence in a field, someone who prematurely released the report that WTC 7 had fallen, someone who launched a missle at the Pentagon, the list goes on and on. Yet no credible 'insider' has come forward.

That is what is being debated but it has not been demonstrated so far that "pull it " is an industry term for controlled demolition.
All you have offered is an assertion that it is.

Hi alf,
I don't know if you were on the thread early on so I will give you the reason why
Larry S. would use the term Pull IT when he wanted the building demolished.
When he was a kid learning about demolishing buildings the term to bring one down was pull it.
No rocket science here pal.

OK, so if Larry Silverstein meant controlled demolition when he suggested "pull it" are you suggesting FDNY colluded with him and carried it out ?

Hi alf
I am suggesting that the words pull it would have been ones Larry grew up with.
You do agree don't you?
. Yeah.. Who did say the steel melted? Besides the firefighters, police and clean up crew.. And the images and video and left over evidence... Who really said the steel melted? Alot of people.

It doesn't matter what "pull it meant" for all I know he could have been having one of his buddies jerk him off and said "pull it".
The fact remains that only 3 steel structures have ever been taken down by fire and they all happened on the same day? How does that happen? Simple... Fires were not the cause of the buildings collapsing.
So why bother asking what the building owner even said,.. it doesn't matter because all evidence points to a controlled demolition.
If fires were the to blame, there is no way that fires could have reached the temperatures necessary to melt steel and the heat generated would not keep the rubble at WTC 7 over 1000ºFerenheit 5 days after the collapse.

Who cares about words when there is physical evidence to the contrary?
