Original Note:
Larry Silverstein made a statement in a PBS documentary that has been widely distorted. He mentioned the decision to “pull it” in the building. However, his spokesperson clarified that he was referring to pulling firefighters out of the building, not demolishing it: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2022/09/23/fact-check-world-trade-center-building-7-collapsed-due-fire/10428919002/ https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/building-7-collapse/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PK_iBYSqEsc
