2. here are betty ong's words!
Ong's tape was played in public in January at a hearing of the Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States.

"The cockpit is not answering their phone," Ong told the American Airlines operations center. "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."
