Delay meant death on 9/11By Martha T. Moore and Dennis Cauchon, USA TODAY
(...)
Some executives died because they stayed to help evacuate their offices. At Fuji Capital Markets, three managers who saw the explosion in the north tower raced through the 80th floor trading room, where no one had seen anything. "
It's a bomb! Get out! Get out!" Keiji Takahashi, 42, screamed. The trading floor emptied, and
its 120 employees survived, but Takahashi and the other managers were not seen again.(...)
http://www.usatoday.com/news/sept11/2002-09-02-choices-usat_x.htm The number of victims at 9/11 varies from 9 to 15 according to the source, however how come so many were Japanese? And why didn't the managers evacuate?

According to the confirmed list there were 17, however two were security guards who worked for another company, so 15 is correct. However only 6 were Japanese, so the Kyodo story is incorrect.
The man who must have seen plane debris. Brian Clark, executive vice president of Euro Brokers, one of the four survivors above the impact zone who survived by ignoring advice not to go down.
Brian Clark, the man who was in the Fuji Bank offices after impact Four survived by ignoring words of adviceBy Dennis Cauchon, USA TODAY
Call it The Great Escape. Only four people survived above the 78th floor in the south tower. They did it by acting against the advice of others and going down the stairs through smoke and debris.

Five Euro Brokers colleagues walked with Clark into the hall, turned left and entered Stairway A.
At the 81st floor, they met an obese woman and a frail man walking up. "
You can't go down," the woman said. "The floors are in flames. We have to get above the smoke and fire."
(...)
As his friends climbed, Clark and co-worker Ronald DiFrancesco continued down.
Clark heard banging from inside Fuji Bank's wrecked office."Help! I'm buried! Can anybody help?" yelled Stanley Praimnath, a loan officer. Clark pulled him from the rubble and they walked down together.

http://www.usatoday.com/news/sept11/2001/12/19/usat-escape.htmStanley Praimnath was part of the Evangelist crowd. He says that he saw "American Airlines" hit the tower and saw the plane, however the plane was United Airlines. Assemblies of God News Service does say United Airlines, however he testifies to seeing red letters on the tail and wings and United is blue.

Delise and Stanley got on the elevator and went down to the 78th floor. Some other people were there. The company's president, the CEO, the human resources director and two other gentlemen joined the group and headed down to the concourse level of Two World Trade Center.
If they had continued on and exited the building, all of their lives would have been spared. As it was, that's not the way it happened. "As soon as we reached the concourse level, the security guard stopped us and said, 'Where are you going?' Stanley explained about seeing the fire in Tower One.
According to Stanley, the guard said, "Oh, that was just an accident. Two World Trade is secured. Go back to your office."(...)
But everything wasn't fine--far from it. As Stanley was talking, he looked up and saw
American Airlines Flight 11 heading straight for him. "All I can see is this big gray plane, with
red letters on the wing and on the tail, bearing down on me," said Stanley.

http://www.truthorfiction.com/rumors/s/survivor1.htm Brian hasn't mentioned anything about plane debris in the Fuji Bank offices either and it is strange that they manage to pass through their offices because that would mean that the fire wasn't that hot or extensive yet.
BTW: How come Brian Clark didn't testify at the 9/11 Omission?
Edit: Four employees were listed as Mizuho and not as Fuji
