'I remember getting a call from the fire department commander, telling me that they were not sure that they would be able to contain the fire. And I said "you know we've had such terrible loss of life", and in this modesty of do-ness, is to pull it. And they made that decision to pull, and that we watch the building... collapse.'

-Larry Silverstein

The Leaseholder of the World Trade Center

So because of the fire being uncontrollable, they had no other choice but to 'pull it' which is a demolition term for tall buildings to be demolished in the safest way so that other building surrounding won't be damaged.
