Larry Silverstein explaining what he meant by 'pull it'

[timmyg]

Hello there

I've been told by a 'debunker' that Larry Silverstein was interviewed on film in 2005 and in that interview he elaborated on what he meant by 'pull it'.

Apparently this video was at one time on youtube. But I am unable to find it anywhere.

Has anyone seen it ? Does anyone have a copy?

As far as I was aware the only single response regarding this comment was a written one by Dara Mcquillan on Silverstein's behalf.

Why would it need to be explained? What he meant was obvious from the context.

"There's been such a terrible loss of life already, so the best thing to do is pull it."

He either meant:

Too many people have already died, so let's minimize further casualties by pulling firefighters out of the area,

or

Too many people have already died, so let's BLOW THIS PUPPY UP!!!

"pull it" obviously meaning "pulling firefighters" since the first thing to come to Larry Silverstein's mind in that interview was to refer to the firefighters as it.

Yeah right.

A small bit of editing, and volla; The smartest thing you've ever written on this forum. I'll admit it does make me chuckle to think that conspiracy theorist actually see logic in a belief that one of the alleged main perpetrators and financial beneficiary of 9/11 would go on public television months after the attack and reveal his deep dark cover-up to the world..

As for the explanation, I'm not entirely sure where, I only know it happened in June 2005. To be honest I think you'd probably find it somewhere like infowars or some conspiracy site where they jumped all over it.

"IT" refers to the firefighting effort, not the firefighters, MM. I don't remember; are you one of those who still believe in the delightfully idiotic notion that Silverstein blew his cover and admitted to destroying his building with CD? How quaint.

Yeah right.

MM

"Pull it" as in the effort to save the building as in "Pull the plug on it".

Jeez.

It appears that MM skipped yet another class in school. English 101

"It" is singular and clearly he is not referring to a single firefighter as there were many. However it could (and does in this case) refer to a Organization or Process such as, for example, the firefighting efforts around WTC7.

'Cuz we all know a Real Estate tycoon is the person in charge at the worst terrorist attack ever.

Do you ever bore of being wrong?

Wow, did you type that knowing that Chief Nigro was interviewed about this very subject and categorically rejected any suggestion put forth by the truthers that WTC7 was demolished by the FDNY?

You seem to forget that Chief Nigro and the entire FDNY was in on it.

This is probably one of the most misquoted points of 9/11. There are two instances of "pull" in the Silverstein PBS interview. The first is the "pull it" comment that is in contention. The second one is this: "so they made the decision to pull". Notice he didn't say "pull it". And, unlike how Truthers like to allege, he didn't say "we", because he had no part in the decision. That choice was that of Fire Chief Daniel Nigro and his team (the man Silverstein had that phone call with quoted in the "Rebuilding America" show).

But noone talks about the second instance of "pull", least of all Truthers, because they can't make it look nefarious.

Personally, I'm thrilled to see yet another "Pull it" thread.

MM

Well, considering he was talking to a firefighter, and was talking about LOSS OF LIFE, yeah, makes perfect sense to anyone with enough brains cells to wipe their own ass.

Sorry bout your continued failure.

 

[ElMondoHummus]

Anyone who tries to defend the notion that Silverstein's "pull it" quote meant intentional destruction of the towers is arguing that he went on national TV and confessed to having a role in an intentional coverup of a crime.

If someone seriously thinks that argument makes sense, then there's really no help for them. Logic escapes them, and they're too committed to their fantasy world to be swayed by reason. They have to have their own epiphanies to restore them to sanity.

Yeah right.

Mm

= nuh uh!

Of course...after all we know the term "pull" is so well established as referring to explosives. Truthers readily present numerous sources on the subject.

Same here.

 

[DGM]

Same here.

Almost as good as "made out like a bandit". Have you been following the latest on the problems finding tenants?

 

[twinstead]

Yea, 9-11 was the best thing that ever happened to Larry Silverstein. Didn't he take his huge profits and retire to Tahiti or something like that?

Yeah right.

MM

Thats how other firefighters describe it. Because "it" can refer to contingents of firefighters or the firefighter effect as someone else said. Btw, if Larry is in on it so its the entire FDNY. We know how you ignore that.

 

[The Big Dog]

Yea, 9-11 was the best thing that ever happened to Larry Silverstein. Didn't he take his huge profits and retire to Tahiti or something like that?

I've heard from VERY knowledgeable sources that he received a windfall and made out like a bandit.

Right Red?
