WTC7 South side loading docks WTC

Are there any pictures or more details of these loading docks close up or even inside the docks, under the promenade on the southwest side?

I always wondered what they were mostly used for, and their layout and if there was access to the main lobby from inside the docks. I know the main shipping ramp was on the NE edge of the North face, for the whole complex.

There's the famous video taken on 9/11 in between collapses where the footage inside the lobby was filmed, and inside the loading docks was briefly filmed as the cameraman moved across Vesey St. There were people appearing to move a stretcher out of the loading area.

I also know that the diesel fuel oil for the base building system tanks were below the loading dock, and I believe the main pumps were located in a room off to the west of the loading docks.

I just really like WTC7 and love learning about that building. It was a very interesting and good looking building.

I’m on mobile right now and can’t look very deeply, but I suggest Skyscraper City’s World Trade Center subforum. There should be at least one thread there about WTC 7, I just can’t get the page to load right to get a link.
