Actually several of the sites I posted do that very thing.

So maybe you should actually read something before you dismiss it as hogwash.
Further more if that so called quote is the best evidence you have, please at least answer these questions.

Problem #1, Larry Silverstein is not a demolition contractor, neither was the fire department chief, so why should we assume they’d be using slang demolition terms?

Problem #2, Silverstein says "they made that decision to pull", for instance -- the Fire Department. If "pull" means "demolish", then he's saying the Fire Department may not have decided to bring the building down if they couldn't contain the fire, but because it was beyond them, they decided to blow it up. Does this make sense?

Problem #3, Silverstein is suggesting that the decision to demolish the building was optional. It might not have happened. Does this fit with the idea of a convenient insurance scam?

Problem #4, why would the Fire Department willingly agree to engage in a multi-million dollar insurance fraud?

Problem #5, and since when do Fire Departments blow up buildings anyway?

Problem #6, and if it's so obvious that WTC7 was demolished, then why are the insurance companies not suing Silverstein for fraud?

Problem #7, and why would Silverstein admit this on television?

Debunk what? The claim that he said those words? Well, yes...I can debunk it...thats an inaccurate quote.

If, on the other hand, you're referring to the meaning of what he said, then the onus is first on you to show that "pull" is used (commonly, or even rarely) to refer to explosive demolition. You'll have a problem there, because it isn't.

I have no problem understanding common english words, thanks. I even do pretty well understanding the meaning of them. "Pull" does not mean "collapse by explosive demolition".
