Built in 1983 by the privately owned Tishman
Corporation, builders of the Twin Towers, World Trade
Centre 7 was a large building, reaching to 47 storeys,
but was overshadowed by the Twin Towers to its south. 

World Trade Centre 7 housed the offices of some of the
the most sensitive agencies in the country: the US
Secret Service, the Inland Revenue Service, the
Department of Defense, the Central Intelligence
Agency, the Securities and Exchange Commission, and
the Mayor of New York's Office of Emergency
Management. along with the head office of SALOMON
Brothers merchant bank.

   The timing of the World Trade Centre 7 tower's fall
is significant: the world was reeling in horror at the
felling of the Twin Towers. Video of the attacking
airliners was being aired continuosly, to the
exclusion of practically all else. The seven second,
tidy collapse of a high security tower at 5.20pm
towards the end of a difficult day was likely to
attract little attention and indeed it did not.
   However, for thousands of structural engineers,
insurers, architects and firefighters it was very
different. This high-security building, with its
secret offices, was only the third steel skyscraper in
history to collapse. The other two were the Twin
Towers. Although any structiral damage that did exist
was asymmetrical, the building fell in an integral,
orderly descent, leaving a tidy heap of rubble within
its property lines, exactly as in a controlled
demolition.
   Sceptics ask why the Kean Commission report makes
no mention of WTC7. If the tower fell because of the
collapse of the Twin Towers, then it was the result of
a terrorist attack, and warranted the Commission's
attention. If its collapse was not connected to the
terrorist attack then this in itself warrants a major
inquiry.
    The rubble of WTC7 - one of the largest structural
failures in history - was pregnant with implications
for the safety of all skyscrapers. Over strong
objections from the fire protection establishment, the
evidence was destroyed. Scrap vendors bought the steel
and shipped it to the far East. No pieces of torn
metal structure marked "save" were kept at the FRESH
KILLS crime scene.
