Many citizens are unaware that three World Trade Center buildings collapsed on September 11th, not just the twin towers. The official investigation determined fire was the cause of the collapse for WTC7. The building was not hit by an airplane making it the first building ever to collapse due to fire.
Other facts about this building include:
- World Trade Center #7 was not mentioned at all in the 500+ page 9/11 Commission investigation report despite happening on the same day, in the same complex, and in the same manner as the twin towers.
- Both the BBC and CNN reported that it collapsed about 20 minutes before it actually did collapse at 5:20 pm on 9/11/01.
- The building was tall at 47 stories tall, about 9 stories shorter than the IDS tower.
- Prior to September 11, 2001 and since that date, no building had ever suffered complete collapse due to fire.
- World Trade Center #6 was in between the twin towers and WTC7. WTC6 suffered extensive damage but did not collapse at free fall speed as did WTC7.
