Saturday marks the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the deadliest terrorist attack in U.S history. 

Cliffo & Gabi sought out a 9/11 survivor and were lucky enough to find Brian Clarke, a survivor from the 84th floor of the south tower. 

Brian shares his unbelievable experience with Cliffo & Gabi, from the moment the first plane hit the north tower, to the terrifying moment the second plane hit the south tower, five floors beneath him and his 250 colleagues. 

We find out how Brian escaped the crumbling towers, what his initial thoughts were when he realised what had happened and what it was like to be in the thick of the aftermath. 

Brian reveals how he saved a complete stranger on his way out of the building and a tense moment of debate between himself and a woman heading further up the tower away rather than down. 

We also find out what piece of memorabilia Brian contributed to the 9/11 museum and how he plans to get through the upcoming anniversary.
