FEMA 403 -- Chapter 5
Ramon Gilsanz Edward M. DePaola Christopher Marrion Harold Bud Nelson 5WTC 7 Introduction WTC 7 collapsed on September 11, 2001, at 5:20 There were no known casualties due to this collapse. The performance of WTC 7 is of significant interest because it appears the collapse was due primarily to fire, rather than any impact damage from the collapsing towers. Prior to September 11, 2001, there was little, if any, record of fire-induced collapse of large fire-protected steel buildings. The structural design and construction features of this building, potential fuel loads, fire damage, and the observed sequence of collapse are presented to provide a better understanding of what may have happened. However, confirmation will require additional study and analysis.
