I can vouch, video exists of an interview of Silverstein telling the fire chief to "pull it". The general cover is that he meant "pull them (his crew) out (of the building)" when the context of said video was clear he meant to allow the building to collapse. Which really wouldn't be his call to make either way.
Silverstein owned the Wtc (or leased, it's been 20 years), and at least tried to get 1 billion insurance for each building.

I no longer know a working link to it.
