WTC7 suffered considerable damage from debris from the collapsing north tower. This can be seen in this photo.

It suffered further damage from a fire fueled by flamable office equipment and large quantities of diesel stored within the building. There are numerous eyewitness testimonies from fire fighters and rescue workers describing severe damage to WTC7's southern face but no photos were taken because no-one on site had the time to take those photos and it was difficult to see due to the dust and smoke. You can see the dust and smoke clouds moving south from the building in the photo.
The fire departments considered it impossible to save the building and left it to burn.
NISTA's ? report didn't go into the physical damage because there wasn't a way to ascertain how severe that damage was and so left an open verdict.
It did not fall, as is claimed, on it's own footprint but in fact spewed debris across the road, damaging the tops of buildings opposite.
