I mean, it’s seems like a much more obvious interpretation of “pull it”—when talking to the fire chief in charge of the operation to fight the fire—to PULL THE EFFORT/OPERATION AIMING TO STOP THE FIRE.
Or was he telling the fire chief to detonate demolition charges?!
Ok so, if they pulled the firefighters why did the building collapse. Jones points out clearly that no modern steel skyscraper has ever collapsed due to fire even when fully engulfed for days on end.
Fire can't collapse steel beam skyscrapers it has never happened before or since...
Madrid windsor tower fire. Every steel framed floor collapsed completely. The remains you see on the photos is precisely the concrete core and lower concrete framed floors; the steel framed floors collapsed even with a concrete core.
Even single story steel constructions regularly fail in fire. In particularly trusses. The WTC buildings were built around the concept of an inner core and an outer "skin" of beams with long trusses suspending floors inbetween. This is outright terrible for fire safety and very few buildings were ever built like that.
In demolitions context pulling a building means precisely one thing and that is attaching long wires to a building and pulling it over with bulldozers.

Here is the NIST story about WTC7: https://youtu.be/PK_iBYSqEsc
Myles Power made a video about WTC7: https://youtu.be/7PpsCCTMP8w
I don't endorse him on other topics, but this particular video is good.
I'll check it out when I get the chance.
yep, in this context "the decision was made to pull it" only means 1 thing -demolish with explosives.
