He was talking about creating a collapse zone. Do you understand that this collapse zone pulled firefighters back from their search and rescue efforts?

Did you read the post where I showed you where you got your source from. A small town in Iowa does not represent one of the largest cities in the world. With some of the tallest buildings in the world.

Post a document from New York City that states that. Not some little suburban town with dirt roads.

Chief Nigro never called Silverstein.
End of story.
Silverstein does not state what time he took the call nor does he state who he talked to.
Originally posted by ThroatYogurt
Silverstein said he received a call from the fire commander. He did NOT say WHO. There were several commanders at the WTC.

But the point still remains do you have evidnece that the firemen were still in the building when the call was made?
On September 9, 2005, Mr. Dara McQuillan, a spokesman for Silverstein Properties, issued the following statement on this issue:
Seven World Trade Center collapsed at 5:20 p.m. on September 11, 2001, after burning for seven hours. There were no casualties, thanks to the heroism of the Fire Department and the work of Silverstein Properties employees who evacuated tenants from the building.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) conducted a thorough investigation of the collapse of all the World Trade Center buildings. The FEMA report concluded that the collapse of Seven World Trade Center was a direct result of fires triggered by debris from the collapse of WTC Tower 1.
In the afternoon of September 11, Mr. Silverstein spoke to the Fire Department Commander on site at Seven World Trade Center. The Commander told Mr. Silverstein that there were several firefighters in the building working to contain the fires. Mr. Silverstein expressed his view that the most important thing was to protect the safety of those firefighters, including, if necessary, to have them withdraw from the building.
Later in the day, the Fire Commander ordered his firefighters out of the building and at 5:20 p.m. the building collapsed. No lives were lost at Seven World Trade Center on September 11, 2001.

We do know that Silverstein did not talk to Nigro.
For these reasons I made the decision (without consulting the owner, the mayor or anyone else - as ranking fire officer, that decision was my responsibility) to clear a collapse zone surrounding the building and to stop all activity within that zone. Approximately three hours after that order was given, WTC 7 collapsed.

This is silly....I have read this thread and the obvious disinfo agents are still swirling around this issue. Some disinfo agents even allege that the countdown was a head count of firemen being removed!!! Insane. The process was done at LEAST 90 minutes and up to three hours before the final countdown was made and the building blown.
Bldg. 7 was brought down totally differently than the Towers and the other WTC buildings; 7 was blown after a part of the plan failed...namely Flight 93, and they had to brazenly destroy the building as a major element of the plan no matter how obvious it was....they always have the media and intel guys to clean it up..
There are video's of the countdown at Bldg. 7 and the tremendous initial boooooms of the prep charges before it came down...and the radios were crackling with the warnings..............
God only knows what psychological anomaly could account for an otherwise reasonable person to ignore massive proofs and odds beyond the stars...and keep on belieivng the lie..amazing.
But there are here at ATS no doubt paid men and women who simply work to obfuscate and sway the beginners so they never take root and dig in to the real facts.

Didn't Chief Nigro say in his statement that he was the ranking fire officer ? Which would make him the fire commander.

Are you trying to state that a fire chief would leave his men in a burning, unsafe buidling before Silverstein said it was ok to pull them out?

Dude, get your head out of your back side for a minute will you? Stop that crap. I never implied any such thing and you know it.
Originally posted by ULTIMA1
So then you would have to admit the firemen were out of the buidling BEFORE the call was made.
