sOMEONE IN THIS THREAD EARLIER HAD MENTIONED THIS "At the time of the attacks, I believe a Mr. Silverstein was the leaseholder on the Word Trade Center. He did an interview shortly afterward with a Public Service station - that aired only once. Basically, when he was talking about Building 7, he said that a firefighter had called him up and said that the damage was too extensive. Mr Silverstein, having no other choice, said to go ahead and "pull" it.
For those of you that don't know, "Pull" is a common term used to descibed detonating the charges in controlled building collapses."
For furthur information, in firefighting terms, the phrase "pull it" is also used to mean pull the team out and let the structure burn. just my $.02.
