Ong: OK. I’m in the jump seat right now. That’s 3R.
Q: What is your name?
A: My name is Betty Ong. I’m No. 3 on Flight 11.
Q: OK.
A: And the cockpit is not answering their phone. There’s somebody stabbed in business class, and we can’t breathe in business. Um, I think there is some Mace or something. We can’t breathe. I don’t know, but I think we’re getting hijacked.
Q: Can you describe the person, that you said someone is shot in business?
A: I’m sitting in the back. Somebody’s coming back from business. If you can hold on for one second here, they’re coming back.
Our No. 1 got stabbed. Our purser is stabbed. Nobody knows who stabbed who. We can’t even get up to business class right now because nobody can breathe. Uhhh, our No. 1 is stabbed right now.
