http://www.911dossier.co.uk/rebuttal.html "The State Department addresses owner Larry Silverstein's famous comment that he ordered WTC to be "pulled" with an unconvincing argument that in fact he meant the firefighters should be "pulled". This is the State Department’s interpretation, not Silverstein’s. Silverstein’s office is quoted stating that Silverstein talked to NYFD chiefs about fire-fighters who were inside WTC 7. In contrast to this statement it's on the public record that the NYFD abandoned the fires in WTC 7 shortly after the twin towers collapsed: "By 11:30 a.m., the fire commander in charge of that area, Assistant Chief Frank Fellini, ordered firefighters away from it for safety reasons." - New York Times (11/29/01) FEMA agrees that NYFD did not fight the fires in WTC 7: "In addition, the fire-fighters made the decision fairly early on not to attempt to fight the fires... the development of the fires was not significantly impeded by the fire-fighters because manual fire-fighting efforts were stopped fairly early in the day” - FEMA (05/02) Silverstein’s explanation also contradicts the evidence of Deputy Fire Chief Peter Hayden (quoted in our book) who told Firehouse magazine in April 2002: "by about two o'clock in the afternoon we realised the thing was going to collapse". Is a contingent of fire-fighters really going to enter such a building three hours later?" ilding three hours later?"
