Brian Clark is a survivor 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. [More at Wikipedia]
