Bert Upson was the final speaker for this season of the ICC Speaker Series. Upson spoke about surviving the Sept. 11 attack at the World Trade Center. Upson was on the 78th floor of the South Tower when the first terrorist-piloted commercial aircraft crashed into the North Tower. United Airlines Flight 175 smashed into the South Tower, between the 77th and 85th floors, at 9:03 a.m., just minutes after Upson made his way out of the building and onto the streets of Manhattan.
