9/11 Hero Betty Ong & the Mystery of “Black Betty”
Sep 11, 2023 Season 1 Episode 48
Kara Mosher

Welcome back to the Let’s be friends podcast for a special 9/11 story time.


We have all heard the normal questions about what may have happened that fateful September morning. Like, how did 2 “planes” make 3 towers freecall in 11 seconds?  Or why how can jet fuel burn steal beams?

I am here to share a new angle on how this all went down (pun intended), have you heard the story of the American Airlines flight 11 hero Betty Ong?


Betty Ann Ong was an American flight attendant aboard American Airlines Flight 11, the first airplane hijacked during the September 11 attacks. Ong was the first person to alert authorities to the hijackings taking place that day. Betty’s fateful phone call established much of the official hijacking story we all know today. But what if, Betty wasn’t even a real person?


Join me are I share the story “Revisiting 9/11, Betty Ong, and the Mystery of “Black Betty” written by Jonathan Revusky. 


This episode has a part two “9/11 Uncensored” that for obvious reasons is posted behind the safety of the www.letsbfriendspodcast.com and is included with the Friendship Membership or can be purchased off the store.
