  • Floors 4 through 9 suffered partial collapse and/or fire damage. Floors 1-3 were undamaged. Some of the collapse was due to impact from steel and debris from World Trade Center 1 (North Tower). Other collapsed sections were due to fire damage. Portions of internal collapse and burnout were found on upper floors, mainly floors 6-8. The exterior facade suffered severe fire damage. The upper floors (5-9) were on fire after the second tower collapse. The building was later demolishd as part of the Ground Zero clean up. The last standing section of 5 WTC was removed by January 2002.
  • I wish i could have seen this building and buildings 4,6,7 and 3 especially the Twins.
  • I wish that they never tore this building down because this was my favorite of buildings 4,5 and 6. My next favorite is building 4; then 6.
