Preface
On September 11, 2001, three passenger planes directly crashed into the World Trade Center of the United States and the Pentagon .
The terrorist attack that shocked the world in the 21st century, the "9/11" incident in the United States broke out. After the incident, all Americans fell into panic and heavy pain. The US government left anger and ordered the Bureau of Investigation to find out the truth of the incident as soon as possible.
At this moment, a recording of the phone number left by a passenger flight attendant in the last 20 minutes before his death attracted the attention of investigators.
It is precisely because of this recording that the truth of the entire incident can be restored as soon as possible.
Who is this flight attendant? What did she say in the recording of the phone?
1. Emergency
At 7:59 am on September 11, 2001, American Airlines Tower flight 11 successfully departed.
The weather is sunny and suitable for flight. The original plan of this plane was to fly from Boston to Los Angeles. The plane carried a total of 87 crew members and passengers.
However, what is unexpected is that this seemingly ordinary flight is about to face a tragic accident.
8:19, the ticket booking office of the Southeastern American Airlines, which has already started working, received an unexpected call.
At first, operator Natia thought it was a ticket booking call from a citizen, and turned on the morning greetings to customers with a sweet voice.
Unexpectedly, the horror of the next news directly made her mind blank.
only listened to the voice of a woman on the phone. The sounds around her were very noisy. She said nervously and quietly:
"This is Flight 11, and I suspect the plane has been hijacked."
The woman who called this phone was named Deng Yuewei, and she was a Chinese flight attendant on Flight 11.
Just on the morning of that day, she boarded the plane and took off with her, providing services to the plane passengers as usual. After taking off, the aircraft slowly rises to the height required by the tower and then enters a stable flight state.
Deng Yuewei was arranged to sit at the rear of the machine, and she carefully observed the situation in the economy class.
8:15, everything was still normal in the cabin, and many passengers were already drowsy.
Just as Deng Yuewei untied her seat belt and was about to stand up, she heard commotion coming from the business class.
Before she could get to the middle of the economy class, she saw several passengers who were originally sitting in business class running to the economy class in a hurry, and shouting to her with trembling body:
"Several people hijacked! They stabbed the flight attendant and the flight attendant!"
Deng Yuewei
Hearing this, the passengers sitting in the first rows of the economy class began to panic, preparing to untie the seat belt and run to the tail of the aircraft.
Faced with such an emergency, Deng Yuewei calmed the emotions of the passengers on board, and tried hard to approach the business class, wanting to know what was going on.
Unexpectedly, the frightened and helpless crowd did not listen to her command at all, and directly blocked the already narrow seat passage.
Then more and more business class passengers ran into economy class, each trying to cover their mouths and noses, with painful expressions on their faces that seemed to be choking. It turned out that the hijackers had put some unknown gas in business class.
The current situation has caused Deng Yuewei not only to fail to go ahead to find out the situation.
was instead squeezed back to the rear of the plane by the panicked passengers.
At this time, Deng Yuewei could only force herself to calm down and call the cockpit as soon as possible.
After all, as long as the hijackers do not break into the cockpit and do not change the course of the aircraft, the current situation may be safely solved.
However, what made her despair was that the phone number in the cockpit could no longer be dialed at this time.
At the same time, the flight of the plane was also very abnormal, with unstable bumps and shaking fuselage, which seemed to be under abnormal control.
At the same time, the hijackers drove all business class passengers to economy class, and the flight attendants were still evacuating passengers at this time so that they would not be crowded in one place.
Deng Yuewei realized that the hijackers had completely controlled the cockpit, and it was obvious that the matter had reached an extremely dangerous level.
At this moment, Deng Yuewei hurriedly called the phone number to contact the ground, and wanted to inform everything that happened to the plane and finally get rescue.
So what information did she convey in the 20 minutes after she called the phone?
2. Emergency call
Natia on the ground was shocked at first after learning the news, and then seriously asked Deng Yuewei about the specific situation.
Because time is tight, Deng Yuewei can only summarize all known situations to the operator.
"Someone was stabbed in the business class. I think someone used poison gas bombs or pepper spray in the business class. I suspect that the plane has been robbed and we can't breathe now."
Judging from the situation reported by Deng Yuewei, the unknown gas released by the hijackers in the business class had obviously spread to the economy class through the air, causing everyone to be forced to come to the tail of the plane.
Natia listened carefully to Deng Yuewei's voice on the phone. It was extremely urgent that she could feel the situation on the plane. Deng Yuewei was also trying to calm down her emotions so that the message could be accurately transmitted.
In order to make the message more accurate, Natia asked:
"Which flight are you on? Where are you sitting?"
At this time, although Deng Yuewei was trying to control her emotions, her brain was confused, so she did not understand the operator's question, but just said something else:
"I am on Flight 11, our flight is going to be from the wave Ston flew to Los Angeles, but now he didn't know the specific location of the plane. "
operator Natia heard Deng Yuewei's nervousness, and then she clearly repeated the question just now:
"Where are you sitting on the plane?"
Deng Yuewei reacted at this time and replied, "I am sitting in the folding seat now, and the position is 3R."
After getting this information, Natia immediately reported the situation to the US Air Traffic Control with her colleagues.
At this time, the US Air Traffic Control also confirmed that Flight 11 is indeed missing.
staff carried out emergency rescue operation as soon as possible, and also asked Natia to maintain contact with Deng Yuewei.
Currently, the call between Deng Yuewei and the ground is their only channel to obtain information.
After Natia learned her specific location, she immediately wanted to determine Deng Yuewei's identity, and then asked:
"Are you a flight attendant or a passenger on the plane?"
After hearing this question, Deng Yuewei also received more information from the flight attendant in front, and then said to the phone:
"I am the flight attendant No. 3 on Flight 11. Our flight attendant was stabbed, and the flight attendant No. 1 and 5 were also assassinated. , They are now guarding the cockpit, and the phone number in the cockpit is also unanswered."
Because Deng Yuewei repeatedly mentioned these hijacking elements, Natia tried to get more information about the hijacking elements from her mouth, so Natia asked:
"Have you seen those hijacking elements? What do they look like? Can you describe it?"
This question has exceeded Deng Yuewei's cognitive scope.
But she was not panicked, but just calmly learned about the situation from other flight attendants, and then quickly sorted out the information and feedback: "There were 5 people hijacking in total, two of them should have entered the cockpit, and someone guarded outside the cockpit."Natya, who was wired at
, immediately caught the question and continued to ask: "Do you know the seat number of the hijackers? "
After a long wait, Natia waited for an echo.
Deng Yuewei said to her: "2A and 2B".
These valuable information were immediately transmitted to the NASA. At the same time, Natia also passed the news that the AVA has intervened to Deng Yuwei , hoping that her nervousness can be comforted.
However, what Natia didn't know was that the passengers on the plane were already in a mess.
There were constant crying sounds, and many people took out their phones to try to contact their families and said the last sentence "I love you".
During this period, Deng Yuewei was communicating with Natia about the situation on the plane.
She said words like "the plane is not running smoothly" and "the plane is not stable" twice in a row.
Natya, holding the phone, was also performing messaging work and comforting Deng Yuewei's emotions. According to her later recollection, their calls on the plane lasted for more than 20 minutes.
But it is regrettable that because neither party thought of turning on the recording function, the phone only automatically retained 4 minutes of calls in the end. Content.
As time goes by, Deng Yuewei on the plane only felt that the plane was falling continuously, and finally crashed directly into the center of the World Trade Building in New York.
8:46, Natia heard a violent explosion on the phone, and then she lost contact with Deng Yuewei forever.
She collapsed and said to the US aviation control: "I think we have lost contact with her." "
And at this moment, the news that the plane crashed into the World Trade Center building came.
Natya finally put down the phone weakly and burst into tears.
She understood that Deng Yuewei, who called, was no longer alive.
3. Remedy in time
. When the US airline steward received Natya's connection, they found that in addition to Flight 11, two passenger planes also disappeared on the radar .
. At this time, Deng Yuewei's call made them more convinced that these passenger planes were also kidnapped. html l6
Tower hurriedly contacted the disappearing United Airlines flight 175 and American Airlines flight 77.
However, they both ended in failure. At the same time, the US airline control also received alarm calls from these passenger planes.
Only 18 minutes after Flight 11 hit the World Trade Center Building 1, another hijacked flight 175 directly hit World Trade Center Building 102.
violent explosion sound "exploded" to wake up the entire United States.

The impact and explosion of
immediately damaged the structure of the building. The building, which was still magnificent an hour ago, collapsed and collapsed in a short period of time.
survivors kept escaping from the building. They looked up and found that the entire building was covered with black smoke. Many people were trapped in the building and kept sending distress signals. Some even jumped down from the building due to extreme panic.
According to later memoirs, when they escaped, they felt that the end of the world had come.
Two consecutive aircraft were hijacked, which made the US government realize that this was a terrorist attack.
It was precisely because of the exact news from Deng Yuewei that American Airlines ordered all American Airlines flights that did not take off in the northeast to stay on the ground.
After the second passenger plane crashed into the building, the US Airlines headquarters decided to implement a national flight ban at 9:10.
But this did not prevent the continued development of the terrorist attack.
9:37, American Airlines Flight 77 crashed into the Pentagon, and all the people on board died immediately.
Fortunately, the staff in the Pentagon had already learned the news a few minutes before the passenger plane was about to hit and began to evacuate urgently. Therefore, although the Pentagon suffered a violent impact, the number of casualties had been greatly reduced.
At the same time, United Airlines flight 93 also received news of the attack on the World Trade Center. There were also hijacking personnel participating in the attack plan on the passenger plane.
But when passengers received the news, they began to resist, and eventually the plane crashed on a clearing in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, and did not achieve the purpose of hitting White House .
The entire "9/11" terrorist attack caused 2,996 deaths and the US economic losses reached US$200 billion.
In addition, the American people have also suffered severe psychological trauma and have a great sense of distrust of politics and economic security.
However, Deng Yuewei's previous call for more than 20 minutes undoubtedly helped the United States recover a lot of losses.
It is precisely because of Deng Yuewei's calm narrative that the US aviation control understands that the plane hit the building was not an accident, but someone deliberately launched a terrorist attack.
It was also because of this call that the United States issued a ban on grounding in a short period of time, which made the Pentagon evacuate in a timely manner, and bought more rescue time for various American departments, thus saving the lives of many people.
In the end, the two seat numbers that Deng Yuewei said made the US Bureau of Investigation determine the identities of the hijackers in a short period of time, and investigated all the hijackers one by one, and locked the planners of the incident on the Taliban armed forces. What is even more commendable is that at the critical moment of life, Deng Yuewei can still deliver messages accurately and do her best to maintain the safety of passengers on the plane.
This spirit of calmness and calmness in the face of danger brings hope and encouragement to all people who have experienced this disaster, allowing the American people to have the courage to face new life.
Therefore, the US government awarded Deng Yuewei the title of "American Hero".
In October 2001, Natia came to Deng Yuewei's home with great respect for her.
Deng Yuewei's parents are still deeply trapped in the pain of their daughter's death. Her sister cried and said that the night before the disaster, she also received a call from her sister, who agreed to go to Hawaii for a vacation together.
However, what this family did not expect was that Deng Yuewei, who was always cheerful and positive and full of hope for life, would unfortunately die due to this disaster, which was a huge blow to them.
Faced with the pain of this family, Natia finally told them that the relevant American departments kept the recording of Deng Yuewei's last phone call during her lifetime.
It was not until many years later that Deng Yuewei's family was able to hear his daughter's voice again.
At that time, Deng Yuewei's father burst into tears and whispered in deep thought:
"Yuewei has been like this since childhood. She is willing to help others and regards the suffering of others as more than her own interests."
After the investigation of the "9/11" incident, the US President and others wrote letters to express their condolences to Deng Yuewei's family.
In order to commemorate Deng Yuewei's contribution to this incident, then San Francisco Mayor Brown made a special decision to name September 11 as "San Francisco Deng Yuewei Day" .
At the same time, the US government also renovated the Chinese city Chinese Recreation Center where Deng Yuewei loved to go during his lifetime and named it Deng Yuewei Chinese Recreation Center.
After the completion of the "9.11" Memorial Museum, Deng Yuewei's name was also ranked first on the wall of the names of the victims.
On this day of each year, Deng Yuewei's tomb is filled with flowers sent by Americans.
Although 21 years have passed, people are still expressing their most sincere nostalgia to Deng Yuewei in the most simple way.
Disaster is painful, but what inspires people to move forward is always a brave, fearless, strong and optimistic spirit.
This is exactly the message that Deng Yuewei conveys to the whole world, and it is also the most precious treasure.
