Betty Ong, a flight attendant on the flight originating in Boston and destined for Los Ángeles, was the first to notify authorities about the plane hijackings on September 11th. Her call came from the aircraft that would become the first to strike the World Trade Center. Twenty-five years later, Ong’s actions are remembered as crucial in understanding the unfolding tragedy. She bravely contacted ground personnel while the plane was still in flight, providing details about the hijackers and the situation onboard. Ong’s information was instrumental in raising the initial alarm about the attacks. The flight ultimately crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center in New York. Her courageous call provided early, critical intelligence during the unfolding 9/11 attacks.
