Template:Location The original WTC 7 was a 47 storey building in the World Trade Center complex. It was completely destroyed on September 11th, 2001.

Original Building

Opened in 1987, Clad in red exterior masonry, the original WTC7 occupied a trapezoidal footprint. In 1988, Salomon Brothers signed a long-term lease, and became the main tenants of the building.

Only after the building’s destruction on 9/11 did the presence of CIA offices in the building become known. In a NY Times article by James Risen published November 4, 2001, [1] it stated, "The agency's New York station was behind the false front of another federal organization, which intelligence officials requested that The Times not identify. The station was, among other things, a base of operations to spy on and recruit foreign diplomats stationed at the United Nations, while debriefing selected American business executives and others willing to talk to the C.I.A. after returning from overseas."

Other federal agencies with offices in Building 7 were the Department of Defense, Internal Revenue Service, Secret Service, and Security and Exchange Commission. New York City’s Mayor Giuliani had his Office of Emergency Management on the 23rd floor.

Freefall Collapse

Full article: WTC7 Collapse

The building spectacularly collapsed on 9/11. Although no concrete skyscraper had ever collapsed due to fire before, no one was injured by the collapse since firefighters had already been told that it was liable to collapse or demolition. Its collapse had already been announced by CNN and BBC.

Media Blackout of the Collapse

Full article: WTC7 Collapse/Media Blackout

The commercially-controlled media had very little to say about the collapse once it had happened, and nothing at all for years afterwards - until it became widely known in 2007 by those researching the events of 9/11 - until producing a number of 'hit pieces' to attempt to discredit those doubting the US government's official story.

9-11/WTC7/Destruction“I do know that that wall, I remember, was in danger and I think they made the decision based on the danger that it had in destroying other things-- that they did it in a controlled fashion.”John Kerry
Frank Lowy“Fifty days before 9/11, Frank Lowy and Larry Silverstein bought the World Trade Centre in New York (how unlucky was that?) at a time when there was a requirement for massively expensive renovation and asbestos removal from the buildings:
‘To maintain the trade center as class-A office space commanding top rents, the Port Authority (previous owners) would have had to spend $800 million rebuilding the electrical, electronic communication, and cooling systems.’

The removal of asbestos raised this figure to well in excess of $1 billion.

Lowy and Silverstein double-insured the WTC for multiple terrorist attacks (meaning they could claim for the same damage twice if two planes or attacks were involved) and collected $4.577 billion for WTC’s 1, 2, 4 and 5 and $861 million for WTC7. Total $5,438,000,000.

This man is obviously a business genius...or something.”

Event

EventDescription
9-11/WTC7/DestructionCompared to the WTC Twin Towers, few people have seen video footage of the collapse of the 47-story WTC building 7, but the event was predicted and recorded by at least 3 TV networks and exactly resembles a controlled demolition. The event was subject to a news blackout by commercially controlled media for years afterwards, no mention of WTC7 was made in the 9/11 Commission's final report and Wikipedia has no separate page for this event.
