Several buildings in the World Trade Center complex and surrounding areas were damaged or destroyed on September 11, 2001. The fate of each building depended on its distance from the Twin Towers, its construction type, the amount of debris it was subjected to, and other situational factors. Here's a breakdown of some of the significant buildings:
World Trade Center Towers (WTC 1 and 2): These were the primary targets of the terrorist attacks, and both buildings collapsed within hours of being struck by the hijacked planes.
World Trade Center 7 (WTC 7): As discussed, this 47-story building collapsed due to uncontrolled fires initiated by debris from the collapse of WTC 1.
World Trade Center 3 (WTC 3, also known as the Marriott World Trade Center Hotel): This 22-story building was located between the Twin Towers and was severely damaged by debris when they collapsed. The remnants of the building were subsequently demolished.
World Trade Center 4 (WTC 4, also known as the South Plaza Building): This 9-story building was severely damaged by the collapse of the South Tower. The remnants were later demolished.
World Trade Center 5 (WTC 5): This 9-story building suffered a severe fire and partial collapse but remained standing.
World Trade Center 6 (WTC 6, the U.S. Customs House): The 8-story building had a massive hole created by falling debris from the North Tower, and it was subsequently demolished.
St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church: This small church was completely destroyed by the collapse of the South Tower.
Bankers Trust Building (130 Liberty Street): This building was heavily damaged by debris from the collapse of the Twin Towers but did not collapse. It was later demolished due to concerns about its structural integrity and the difficulty in repairing it.
