Brian Clark
He was born on 1947 s one of the survivors of the attacks on the World Trade Center on September
11, 2001. A Canadian, Clark worked for the American International brokerage firm Euro Brokers,
which lost 61 employees that day, nearly a fifth of its New York branch.Clark was one of only four
people in the South Tower to escape from a floor above the plane's impact, escaping from his office
on the 84th floor. No one escaped above the impact point in the North Tower. Clark's testimony before
the 9/11
Commission, where he detailed problems with the 911 emergency call system, has been widely
quoted After the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, Clark had become a volunteer fire warden for his
floor, being issued a helmet, whistle and flash light by World Trade Center security. So on September
11, 2001, when Clark saw a giant fireball in his peripheral vision coming from the adjacent North
Tower at 8:46 a.m., he quickly picked up his issued gear and began trying to get staff of his evacuated
from the building. At one point, Clark went to his companies trading floor which stood at the east side
of his tower, where he saw fellow employees of his peering out the windows, watching people jump to
their deaths in the adjacent tower.
