Right, so her words alone then. Cool. Back to where we started then aren't we.
How is this relevant at all to the topic at hand? It is also more than a little dishonest leaving out the important part of the quote that shows that it was not Silverstein at all that made the call, rather the fire department commander.
His FULL quote:
"I remember getting a call from the fire department commander, telling me that they were not sure they were gonna be able to contain the fire, and I said, 'We've had such terrible loss of life, maybe the smartest thing to do is pull it.' And they made that decision to pull and then we watched the building collapse." –Larry Silverstein
In the ACTUAL quote, its pretty obvious that it was not Silverstein, but the fire chief, that made the decision.
How very dishonest of the quote you referenced above, don't you think?
What's clear to me is Larry voiced the idea of pulling it before they pulled it. Although he was talking to the fire department commander when he voiced that opinion, it's not clear who and how many made the final decision because he used the word 'they' rather than 'he'.
