PBS Home Video: America Rebuilds: "I remember getting a call from the fire department commander telling me that they were not sure they were going to be able to contain the fire, and I said, "You know, we've had such terrible loss of life, maybe the smartest thing to do is just pull it. They made that decision to pull it, and then we watched the building collapse." -- Larry Silverstein

Now, the term "pull," which you just saw Larry Silverstein use, is an industry term that means "to demolish, a controlled demolition." What exactly did Larry Silverstein say here? Did he say World Trade Center 7 was a controlled demolition? If so, is it conceivable that through all the melee and hysteria that was going on in the morning of September 11th, a demolition crew could have came in and taken down World Trade Center 7 within seven hours? Most controlled demolitions take up to two weeks of intense planning to make it happen. If this is the case, the only explanation that makes sense, is that a controlled demolition was planned way in advance of September 11, 2001.

AMERICA UNDER ATTACK
PART OF THE PENTAGON HAS COLLAPSED

Voice of Dave vonKleist, Radio Personality: Shortly after September 11th, as what usually happens, many conspiracy theories began to emerge as to what really happened on September 11th of 2001. And because many of these theories were not grounded with any evidence, we didn't really pay too much attention to them. However, in February of 2002, my attention was drawn to the following website entitled, "Hunt the Boeing -- Test Your Perceptions."

From "In Plane Site" by David vonKleist

Now the original website was completely in French and was released by the French and drew some very serious questions as to what had really happened at the Pentagon. I mean, after all, we had all seen the big hole that was created by the 757 that had slammed into the Pentagon at 9:43 on September 11th. But some of the photographs that were shown on this website raised very serious questions as to whether or not that is exactly what had happened. Some of these photographs showed a smaller hole, and in some cases showed that there was no way that a 757 could have created this damage. So we began our own investigation and that started by taking a look at some of the magazines we all saw at the supermarket checkout stands shortly after the events of September 11th.

As I began poring through the photographs, I had one goal in mind, and that was to prove the French wrong with their website, "Hunt the Boeing." After all, there must have been some photographic evidence that showed that a 757 had hit the Pentagon. But as we went through all of these photographs, we could find no pictures whatsoever showing a tail, a nose, a fuselage, wings, engine, wheels, luggage, seats, nothing. There were no photographs showing any recognizable wreckage from a 757.
