The question of fatalities associated with 7 World Trade Center (WTC 7) is central to understanding the events of September 11, 2001. Official reports state that no one died in the collapse of this 47-story skyscraper. These reports confirm that the building was evacuated prior to its eventual destruction.
The absence of casualties differentiates WTC 7’s collapse from the destruction of the Twin Towers. This detail is often cited when discussing the nature and impact of the day’s events. The fact that the building was unoccupied at the time of its collapse is considered an important aspect of the official narrative. The circumstances surrounding the building’s destruction, absent loss of life, have been a subject of discussion and debate.
