World Trade Center 6 was the U.S. Customs House: a 537,693-square-foot (49,953-m²), 7-story low-rise building in Lower Manhattan, New York City. Construction finished in 1975. It was heavily damaged on September 11, 2001, from the collapse of World Trade Center 1 and World Trade Center 2. The building was demolished to make way for reconstruction.

Debris from the North tower covered the area near 6 WTC digging a deep crater into the buildings basement. CDI handled the demolition.^[1]
