Also OP, the fires in WT7 were not 'out of control' and the building was not made of wood, so should still be standing now because it wasnt hit by a big enough force to make it fall into it's own footprint.

Wow. of all the possible comparisons, you came up with this? Is there a specific goal in comparing conspiracy theorists to nazis, or is this your general train of thought?
I don´t see how anyone that can grasp the English language can think he was refering to anything else but the building, when he said pull IT.
If he was talking about firefighter he would have said pull THEM OUT.
Seems very simple to grasp and only someone with an agenda would suggest otherwise. Or someone that is really dumb and uneducated.

Its such a mute point why bother? What he "said", what he didn't "say" ,"how he said it" blah blah blah.
The facts are the 40+ story building came down in a little over a minute,,, just collapsed into itself!

FROM: City Building Inspector
SUBJECT: Demolition of Dangerous Building
5370 Taunton Street
Lot 11, Block 18, 19 and 22, District Lot 37, Plan 2220
COUNCIL POLICY
Section 324A of the Vancouver Charter enables Council by resolution or By-
law to declare any building, in or upon any private or public lands a
nuisance or dangerous to the public safety or health and by such By-law or
resolution, to order that building to be removed by the owner, agent,
lessee or occupier thereof.
City staff have contacted the property owner by phone to request that he
obtain a demolition permit and pull down and demolish the building,
however, the owner has demonstrated no desire to cooperate.
something tells me you weren't really looking very hard

Ladies and Gentlemen,
The slang words "pull it" (meaning to implode a structure/building) comes from demolition experts who go in to buildings, like those old casinos in Las Vegas, and "bring them down" in a controlled explosion, so that a new casino (for example) can be built on that particular site.
The predominant reason alternate truth theorists believe the towers on 9/11 were taken down via controlled demolition is: a) 3 towers fell with only 2 planes,
b) they fell into their footprint with extreme impact pulverizing everything, including concrete and steel.
Asymmetry (planes crashing into buildings, fires in WTC7)
does not lead to symmetry (buildings falling into their footprint perfectly). That is not how nature works

The term "pulling" the building is still used among the old school guys. You have to remember that there are still guys that did this kind of work from 50 years ago that used to help their dad with the company and stuff like that. It's an older term and now it's been bastardized. As for building 7 being demolished...Looks pretty fishy to me. My impression is that indeed it was imploded. But I'm no expert. But ehe odds of having 3 steel builgings come down due to fire in the same day and they're the only one ever to react to fire in this maner....
