3, 4, 5 World Trade Center

The September 11th Attack

Evacuation

Damage

These buildings were all severely damaged by the collapses of the Twin Towers. Building 3, the 22-story New York Marriott Hotel, was partially crushed, first by the collapse of the South Tower, then by the collapse of the North Tower.

Fires

Serious fires raged through WTC 5 for hours. Despite the massive structural damage shown by the holes, and fires far more severe than those in WTC 1, 2, and 7, WTC 5 did not collapse.

Destruction

WTC 3, 4 and 5 were demolished as part of the clean-up of Ground Zero.
