And the image you posted is on pdf page 13 from fema403_ch4. Also found in that document:

"Because of their close proximity to WTC 1 and WTC 2, all three buildings were subjected to severe debris impact damage when the towers collapsed, as well as the fires that developed from the debris. Most of WTC 4 collapsed when impacted by the exterior column debris from WTC 2; the remaining section had a complete burnout. WTC 5 and WTC 6 were impacted by exterior column debris from WTC 1 that caused large sections of localized collapse and subsequent fires spread throughout most of the buildings. All three buildings also were able to resist progressive collapse, in spite of the extensive local collapses that occurred.

This chapter describes the design and construction features of these buildings and observed damages. Site observations of damage in WTC 5 and WTC 6 were conducted by team members, although access in WTC 6 was severely limited. WTC 4 was declared unsafe, and no access was allowed." - (pdf page 1)

The caption for the picture you posted in the original thread starts with: "New York City, October 25, 2001".

I believe WTC5 was demolished in November 2001. I'd look it up, but I'm sure you can do that yourself if you are interested in knowing the exact date.
