And who are you to say what "Pull It" means? In context, in seems much more likely he meant the team(s) of firefighters trying to stop the blaze that was melting the steel of the building and thereby threatening the structural integrity. |
Well, then he would have said, pull "them" because firefighters are no an "it". I refers to the building, and the term "pull it" is a term used by demolitions experts when collapsing a building. oOo:
And if you expect a fire to melt steel oOo: oOo: oOo:
Especially in the building in which a plane never crashed into, and there was no jet fuel.
Did you even read about the Madrid fires? The entire building was totally engulfed in flames, for a much longer period than any of the WTC towers and never fell. |
First of all, the guy ISNT a demolitions expert, hes the guy who owned the buildings. By "It" he likely meant the team or "pull the plug" in the sense that you abandon the building to the fire. Besides, he likely mispoke and meant "them".
And yes, fire does melt steel. Steel, like every other material, has something called a "melting point", the temperature at which a solid "melts" into a liquid state. "Fire" increases "temperature", which eventually reaches this "melting point". Fire can melt steel.
Please refrain from using derogatory comments.
