25 years later, 9/11 call brings families together
Twenty-five years after the September 11 attacks, an early phone call from that tragic day has united two families. On September 11, 2001, Betty Ong, an American Airlines flight attendant on American Airlines Flight 11, made a call to an American Airlines reservations center to report something was wrong. On the other end of the line was Vanessa Minter, a reservations agent who would be the last person to speak with Ong before the plane crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center.
Minter, now the last person to converse with Ong, has finally met Ong's family in person after a quarter-century.
