The “heavy set” woman said it was too much smoke and fire down below. An important part of this story is that Brian states in all his interviews that if Stan did not scream for help Brian would not have went that direction and would have followed the heavy woman and that group and would have died as well. So Yes Brian saved Stanley P. but also Stanley saved Brian.

I mentioned in another of your vids about Stanley Praimnath's office location on the 81st floor. Flight 175 impacted below and angled away from his office so that he was not incinerated by the fuel exploding tho his floor still received heavy structural damage. The "plane wing" he stated impacting into a door close to him I believe was likely just a smaller section as the main structure impacted a couple floors below him. The only passable stairwell was also on that side of the building so he was very lucky.

Who all remembers Monday night football staying in late the night before? I remember hearing a few people were saved by that because they were late for work!

[@coreyrowe4119]

There was an employee, Tony Sichenzio from Cantor Fitzgerald (their offices were located above the impact zone in the north tower) who took a vacation to go to Denver for the season opening Giants/Broncos MNF game. It was a yearly tradition for Sinchenzio to go to a road game for the Giants. If Sinchenzio picked any other road game from the schedule besides the season opener in Denver, he probably would've been up there with the rest of his co-workers who passed that morning. It's pretty bone chilling stuff.

I read a story several years ago where a lady was talking about having went to a birthday party that Monday night before the attack. She worked at the Towers and she claimed she drank too much at the party and woke up with a hell of a hangover. She called in sick before the attack occurred. That hangover saved her life

[@coreyrowe4119]

@@QueenAlexis556 Seth MacFarlane (well known for his voice work on Family Guy) was saved from 9/11 under similar circumstances. He was booked to be on flight 11 (the plane that hit the north tower) but got drunk the night before and woke up with a hangover, because of that he was late and missed getting on that flight at the airport by just a few minutes. Then he booked the next flight later in the day. Since the next flight didn't leave for a few hours, he took a nap in the airport lounge only to be woken up by all the commotion after the planes hit. What a surreal experience that must've been waking up to see that knowing how narrowly he just avoided being on that doomed plane.

The Brian and Stanley story is pretty amazing

[@alexanderz681]

Is there a diagram that shows all of the stairways in the North/South tower and how it corresponded/was affected by the impact zone? If so, please make this a video!

[@TastyShepherdsPie]

This video on Brian Clark during 9-11 left out some important details. Brian Clark was originally the fire marshal on his floor, leading a group down the stairwells. Initially heading towards stairwell C, he felt a mysterious push on his shoulder guiding him towards stairway A, right at the moment when Stanley Premnath was crying out to God for help. This incredible timing is nothing short of a miracle if you really look at it. Following that push, Clark descended to the 80th floor with Ron DeFrancesco, where they encountered a heavyset woman and overheard conversations, but also heard Premnath’s cries for help. Clark, along with DeFrancesco, followed the cries into the room. At that moment, the group decided to go up the stairwell, and tragically, they all perished. Remarkably, DeFrancesco initially went up but then came back down and survived.

[@MrQM2]

Ron DiFrancesco was most likely the very last person to escape the South Tower, if I'm not mistaken, he just walked outside the lobby, through the doors to the World Trade Center's indoor shopping mall headed towards 4 WTC, when he heard a huge explotion and looked to the right to see a ball of dust and debris debris roaring towards him from what I personally believe was the east side of the South Tower's lobby.

[@NickyD]

and i think he was thrown a few blocks

[@Jaime-jp7bt]

I think if Brian didn't meet Stanley ,he would have went with his coworkers and perished .They were each other's saviors.

[@sekhyhybrid6701]

He even said that in multiple interviews.

[@anthonyingram3230]

Would the 911 operators have told people who called in from the upper floors that the stairwell was usable? After he called from floor 31 they could have relayed that information to help others get down and maybe escape in time.

[@talkaboutwacky]

Ron Difrancesco did initially go up after he left Brian Clark and Stanley. He even bumped into some colleagues of Eurobrokers. Because of the smoke they were literally "falling asleep" as he described it, and he knew then and there he had to go down cause going up was killing the people climbing in that stairwell

[@666percentfishing]

You should do a video on the men with unconfirmed passes to work on the fire suppression systems. Look into it. Respect.

[@AaronCastrejon]

Out of all the interviews that Stanley Praimnath gave over the years, this one hits me the most. A man of complete faith, and on that day he was so determined to make it home to his wife and children, that he was ready to fight, and even threatened to kill those who stood in his way. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hl7FfmCIpsStapY

[@jer0051]

Those buildings were a death trap.

[@josephbennett3482]

Any building bigger than a ladder trucks reach is a death trap , anything larger than a three level house is a death trap because you can't escape by use of a ground ladder if someone has one nearby before the fire department arrives or if the structure doesn't have a external fire escape.

[@stevvvvveperry]

Didnt help that heaps of corners were cut building them because it was the 70s and the mob had their hands out for any construction going on at the time.

[@noone-ft9lw]

Come on man, you're smart. South tower fell first because it was hit lower and had significantly more weight on it's damaged areas. Additionally, the damage was more localized. I was 24 or so when this happened, I remember being completely surprised they fell.

Most of the 2nd tower fuel burned up during the strike but it miraculously came down first. Doesn't fit the melting core columns theory at all. Tower 1 had more time for melting to occur and much more fuel. Other big issue is simple physics. Free fall from the top was 9 seconds and the buildings came down in 12. That didn't happen without lots of help.

[@supermanepic15]

the south tower got hit lower, leaving for more weight at the top part of the building and much more stress unevenly distributed throughout the columns whuch didnt hold up long as they were weakend by fires, the jet fuel ignition was fueled by flammable office equiptment and interior drywall and such, jet fuel cant melt steel beams but they can weaken them

[@Gtasplayer]

@@supermanepic15also north tower impact was starved of oxygen for a few moments after initial impact. The south tower impact this did not happen and more fuel burned up at the impact zone. This could help explain why south tower was weakened faster than north tower

[@matthorrocks6517]

Too many things are too mysterious. I can't ever trust the official story. You won't get any support asking questions.

[@caseyhartmann7283]

No columns or other structural steel melted. It was weakened by the heat until it could not support the weight of the floors above them. Tower 2 fell first since it was hit lower and at least one corner (a critical location) was obliterated.

[@V0ID_beats]

when will people recognize the fact that steel DOES NOT have to melt to loose much of it's integrity it looses much of it waaayyy before it starts to melt and we are only speaking about heat only.....the unimaginable forces that occured when the planes hit at 5-600mp/h did the most damage, in fact it is a miracle that those buildings did not collapse immediately after they got hit and there are several close up videos that show exactly where the structure gave up and if that top half starts to go down there is nothing that could stop that force we are talking about tens or thousands of tons of steel and concretr there is no structure that would withstand that kind of stress falling down on it...also concrete that we use today is 4-5 times stronger that they used building those towers

Ron Difrancesco is the other team member. He actually wrote a book about his experience. He went up with the heavy woman to the 90th floor and they begin to pass out due to the smoke and fumes. He says they were all “drifting away like going to sleep”. He then heard a voice that woke him up and he went and move debris that revealed the staircase and ran down through the fire and smoke burning his skin and melting his eye contacts but he survived. Very interesting story

Ron said he went pretty much all the way up after trying to help Brian and Stanley and then he said he just got up and went back down and as soon as he got out of the building it collapsed.

I commented about Brian Clark in your other video the other day, but since this video is about him, I’ll tell you guys again: About 4 years ago, late at night, I watched a documentary on 9/11 and Brian Clark and Stanley were both featured in this documentary. Now Brian Clark had a very different voice. Something about his voice stuck out to me. Anyway, after watching, I went to bed, and the next day I went golfing in Vernon, NJ at Great Gorge golf club (used to be the Playboy Club). After dad and I finished up, we got to the car in front of the clubhouse, and since we had a 35 minute ride home ahead of us, dad decided to run inside to take a leak. While I waited in the car, staring down at my cell phone in my hands, I heard a golf cart pull up next to me and I heard the same exact voice I heard the night prior in that documentary, Brian Clark’s voice. I looked up and turned my head to the left, and it was him!! I said “Excuse me, is your name Brian?” He looked at me, sort of confused, and said “Ummm, yes, I am Brian. I’m sorry, do I know you?” I told him that the night prior I watched him in a documentary on 9/11. He immediately lightened up and was beyond cordial and said he and Stanley were both doing well. He was actually asking me where I was that day, how old I was (I was 12 years old in my first week in middle school). My dad got back to the car and was totally baffled, he asked if I knew this man. Lol. It was so wild. Anyway, before parting, I asked Brian what his best recollection was of that day and he told me to search “Brian Clark Mesquite”. He spoke at a school and he said that was his best ever recollection of 9/11. I urge anyone to check it out.
