Take a few minutes to listen to the last phone call of Betty Ong, a flight attendant on American Airlines Flight 11 before it hit the World Trade Center, eight years ago today on September 11, 2001. Ong is calm and matter-of-fact as she describes what was occuring within minutes of the hijacking to skeptical airline personnel on the ground. She was forced to repeat the same basic details again and again: "Ok. Our Number 1 got stabbed. Our purser is stabbed. Nobody knows who stabbed who, and we can’t even get up to business class right now cause nobody can breathe…" She remained on the phone for 23 minutes, calmly relaying information up to seconds before the impact. Just over four minutes of the phone call were replayed at the 9-11 commission hearings. Her last words were "Pray for us. Pray for us."

There he is, the POTUS bowing to the enemy.
How very sad.
Quite a collection of pictures - sad but also inspirational. Even obama looking at that would admit that we need to continue our “Overseas Contingency Operations” to discourage future “Man Caused Disasters” for a few more months.
Thanks to all for the stories and photos. Doing the work the mainstream media won’t...

Thanks again for your awesome posts.
Thats why I really want to watch Flight 91, but I can’t - I just can’t make myself watch it. I want to but I cant.
