You are correct. Let's use your earlier graphic as a point of reference.



Between WTC1 & WTC2 (the two towers that fell) and WTC7 is WTC6. WTC6 was pretty much destroyed and suffered a partial collapse.

Keep in mind that multiple things happened to these buildings. Some were hit by planes, others by debris, others by flaming debris, some were hit by the towers when they fell, and others suffered damaged from the ground shaking when they fell.

Why did WTC7 fall and not the Bankers building? They were different buildings, built differently, and suffered different amounts of damage. That's like asking why one building fell during an earthquake and others around it did not? Different buildings, different designs, different amounts of damage, and in this case different causes of damage.

No, it's not an anomaly. Your talking about huge buildings and hundreds of millions of tons of debris that fell down over a large amount of space. All the buildings suffered damage. Some of the buildings fell, and some of the buildings didn't.
