The World Trade Center consisted of seven builings designated WTC1 Through 7.
WTC1 and WTC2 were the twin towers.
WTC7 was demolished after the leaseholder, Larry Silverstein, said 'pull it, about 7 hours after the other two buildigs. I believe everyone had been evacuated prior to the demolition.
The 9/11 Commission report says that it has no idea why this building collapsed.
The point is that, as it was demolished by controlled demolition, how could this happen when it takes several days, to set the demolition charges.
Apparently there had been a total shut down of all three buildings the weekend before 9/11, and that is probably when the charges were laid in all three buildings.

When the twin towers collapsed, a lot of debris fell onto a third building. This third building collapsed some time later - maybe a few hours later; I can't remember exactly. I'd guess that the third building was about twenty stories high, but it might have been as high as about fifty stories; it was certainly small compared to the twin towers.
I remember seeing the third building collapse on TV, but it was such a minor event compared to the twin towers that the media never mentioned it much.
I don't think the collapse of the third building caused any casualties, but I'm not 100% sure about this.

Yes, Tower 7 collapsed a short time after the other 2, and there has been no consensus for why. It housed several government offices including the SEC.

The Pentagon was hit by another hijacked aircraft, but I believe most of the building remained in tact. I read that 124 people died on the ground there plus 64 on the plane.

I don't think there was a third building that collapsed but the Pentagon was supposed to have had a plane crash into it too (i say supposed as there were so many conspiracies that it wasn't a plane im just being diplomatic!)

Well, that depends upon whether you believe the conspiracy theories or not. Facts given are that no, only 2 collapsed, but who knows the truth? There is a web site, 911 truth, that claims to be just that, but who really knows?
