Brian Clark
– WTC survivor.  Manager at Euro Brokers, WTC South Tower, 84th floor.
  • Interviewed in the documentary film Zero: An Investigation Into 9/11  10/26/07:

    "On September 11, 2001, I was employed by a company called Euro Brokers and our offices were on the 84th floor of the South Tower, which was the second building to be hit that day with an airplane.  And I was working away at my computer and at 8:46 in the morning, there was this loud BOOM. ...

    Two or three minutes later I started talking with one fellow named Bobby Call ... and as he was telling me this -- BOOM  BOOM -- this double explosion and our building shook. ... Everything just exploded in our room.  Now we're on the 84th floor.  What I didn't know at the time was that the second plane had hit six floors below us on the 78th floor. ... We dusted ourselves off and I said, "Come on.  Let's go home." ...

    When I looked down there, I didn't see flames.  I just sensed that it was the right thing to go and try and test it.  We would go as far as we could until we were stopped by flames.  And when we came to the 78th floor, the last layer was standing, but it was cracked, and there were flames licking up the other side of the wall, like this.  It wasn't a roaring inferno.  I sensed that the flames were maybe starved for oxygen right there, you know, in the interior.  We kept going and we got onto the 74th floor, when we got down that far, normal conditions -- the lights were on, fresh air was coming up from below. ...

    My ears were hearing loud explosions at ground level.  Very mysterious.  Explosions that seemed to be at ground level as opposed to high in the air."

Tom Elliot – WTC survivor.  Aon Corporation, WTC South Tower, 103rd floor.
  • Article Christian Science Monitor 9/17/01: "Tom Elliott was at work in his office at the Aon Corp., an insurance brokerage firm, on the 103rd floor of the World Trade Center's other, south tower. ...

    He was just typing in a response when a bright flash of light startled him, and a rumble shook the structure [First plane impact on the North Tower]. Flames appeared to be crawling up the outside of the building, along with dark smoke and debris, burning paper and ash. ...

    "I don't know what's happening, but I think I need to be out of here," he remembers thinking. ...

    Elliott and two others headed down the building stairwell, a narrow beige corridor with a yellow stripe painted down the middle of concrete steps. ...

    They had descended three more floors [to the 67th floor] when United Airlines Flight 175 slammed into their own south tower like an arrow from a giant crossbow. It was 9:03 a.m. [Editor's note: At this point, Mr. Elliot was on the 67th floor of the South Tower, approximately 150 feet below the airplane's center of impact on floors 78 to 84.]

    Although its spectacularly televised impact was above Elliott, at first he and those around him thought an explosion had come from below. An incredible noise - he calls it an "exploding sound" - shook the building, and a tornado of hot air and smoke and ceiling tiles and bits of drywall came flying up the stairwell.

    "In front of me, the wall split from the bottom up," he says." http://www.csmonitor.com/2001/0917/p1s1-usgn.html
