We all know that WTC1 and WTC2 collapsed after being hit with airliners, and WTC7 collapsed after being severely damaged by the collapse of WTC1.
However, in the days and weeks and months and years following 9/11, many other buildings in the area have been torn down as a direct result of damage suffered from the attacks.
All seven WTC buildings, for example, are gone. 30 West Broadway either has been, or is being torn down. I know there are others.
Does anyone have a comprehensive list of just how many buildings were destroyed on 9/11, have been torn down since 9/11, or are scheduled to be torn down in the future, as a direct result of damage suffered on 9/11?

Okay, update. Found this on wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collapse_of_the_World_Trade_Center#Other_buildings
The entire WTC complex was destroyed on September 11, 2001, and many of the surrounding buildings were also either damaged or destroyed as the towers fell. 5 WTC suffered a large fire and a partial collapse of its steel structure.
Other buildings destroyed include St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Nicholas_Greek_Orthodox_Church), Marriott World Trade Center (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marriott_World_Trade_Center) (Marriott Hotel 3 WTC), South Plaza (4 WTC), and U.S. Customs (6 WTC). The World Financial Center buildings, 90 West Street (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/90_West_Street%2C_New_York), and 130 Cedar Street suffered fires. The Deutsche Bank Building (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deutsche_Bank_Building), Verizon, and World Financial Center 3 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Financial_Center#3) suffered impact damage from the towers' collapse, as did 90 West Street. One Liberty Plaza (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_Liberty_Plaza) survived structurally intact but sustained surface damage including shattered windows. 30 West Broadway was damaged by the collapse of 7 WTC. The Deutsche Bank Building, known through images of it being covered in a large black 'shroud' after September 11 to cover the building's damage, is currently being deconstructed[50] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collapse_of_the_World_Trade_Center#_note-37) because of water, mold, and other severe damage caused by the neighboring towers' collapse.

I'm pretty sure the only buildings that were destroyed on 9/11 was WTC 1, 2, 3, 7, and a greek church near the South Tower. Several other buildings were damaged but none completely collapsed. WTC 4, 5, and 6 were seriously damaged, especially 4, less of the building was left standing than was destroyed.
Others that are going to be torn down are 30 West Broadway and 130 Liberty Street.
Here's a little info about both.

This site names a few other buildings that are being torn down and gives a little information about them.

Marriott Hotel (WTC3)
WTC4
WTC5
US Customs House (WTC6)
WTC7
St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church
Deutsche Bank Building (130 Liberty Street)
Fiterman Hall (30 West Broadway)
4 Albany Street
130 Cedar Street
133-135 Greenwich Street

That gives a total of fourteen buildings. Any more?

Well, wouldn't it have to been that way if the theorists were correct?

The entire section of the Pentagon that they had to replace (in under a year, Project Phoenix (http://archives.cnn.com/2002/US/09/04/ar911.pentagon.reconstruction/)) might be large enough to be considered a building, even if it's only part of one; it was still destroyed.
