Original Note:

The term “pull it” referred to withdrawing the firefighters. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2022/09/23/fact-check-world-trade-center-building-7-collapsed-due-fire/10428919002/ https://www.nist.gov/world-trade-center-investigation/study-faqs/wtc-7-investigation https://fullfact.org/online/world-trade-center-7-9-11/ https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2022/sep/12/facebook-posts/911-conspiracy-theories-misconstrue-how-world-trad/
