How 9/11 Hero Flight Attendant Betty Ong Identified Her Plane’s Hijackers

At 8:20 a.m. on Sept. 11, 2001, Betty Ann Ong spoke in a low voice on an Airfone from the rear of American Airlines Flight 11.

Calm and businesslike, she told ground employees: “The cockpit’s not answering. Somebody’s stabbed in business class — and I think there’s Mace … I think we’re getting hijacked.”

Betty, 45, had asked to work an extra shift on Flight 11, bound for Los Angeles out of Boston’s Logan Airport, so she could join her sister Cathie for a vacation in Hawaii. But 14 minutes after takeoff, the hijacked plane made a U-turn and headed toward New York City.

Thanks to Betty’s furtive phone call, the world knows that terrorists critically wounded flight attendants Karen Martin and Bobbi Arestegui, slit the throat of business-class passenger Daniel Lewin, and “jammed their way” into the cockpit, where they likely killed co-pilots John Ogonowski and Thomas McGuinness Jr.

We also know that they sprayed Mace — which was prohibited on flights — and that passengers huddled in coach to escape the toxic fumes as the plane flew erratically toward the NYC skyline.

Authorities were able to quickly identify the five hijackers because Betty and fellow attendant Madeline Sweeney relayed the seat numbers of the men.

Ong’s last words: “Pray for us. Pray for us.” Flight 11 crashed into the World Trade Center’s North Tower at 8:46 a.m.

  1. I literally saw 2nd aeroplane lambast into WTC 2 with my own 2 eyes {not on TV but the real thing}, and it is so etched & seared into my mind, that I remember it as clearly & as vividly as if it was this very morning.

    • You must be from the BBC who reported it 20 minutes before it happened, including this entire flight attendant fabrication. Where are all the people and their luggages from these planes? The only thing they “found” in the Ground Zero was the passport of the pilot.

  2. I read these stories and get a shiver. Frightening stories of horror in their final moments on this earth. The knowledge in those final seconds that they are going to crash into the building and die is indescribable. The helplessness.

    • Do you know anyone killed in the CGI aluminum planes that got smashed in the steel and concrete buildings 20 minutes before it actually happened – according to the BBC?

  3. In the recording she claimed someone was stabbed in business class and no one can breathe. Well she didn’t sound like she had a problem breathing when speaking to the police. Also why was there no screaming and yelling in the background. She was too calm IMO.

  4. Lee@VictoryDay_Hope: “9/11 was a lie. It was not the Middle East that attacked us. It was our own country. Twin towers were the cover for Tower 7, where the records where kept for the Trillions of dollars that went “missing”.”
