Harry Ong doesnโ€™t seek attention & prefers to keep a low profile.
โ €
Butโ€ฆ (1/5) #Respect #911Anniversary #911Memorial
โ€ฆI am so grateful he opened his heart to us at the cemetery where Betty is. He told me a part of her leg bone was found 3 blocks f/the World Trade Center.

Betty was the flight attendant on American Airlines flight 11 who made the 1st call about the chaos on board. #911Memorial
For those who havenโ€™t heard the call, youโ€™ll hear her bravery. Her calm. Her composure.

Harry told me later he can tell there is some fear in her voice but she had the determination to keep her passengers & team safe. #911Anniversary
Thank you to @KaplanABC11 at @ABC11_WTVD who interviewed Vanessa Minter in North Carolina. She was the American Airlines agent on the other line of that call.
โ €
I shared part of what she said w/Harry: โ€œBetty Ong, to me was the hero.โ€

This is Harryโ€™s reaction โค๏ธ #911Remembered
I asked Harry what heโ€™d like the world to know 20 years later.
โ €
โ€œEspecially in this time of divisiveness & hatredโ€ฆthe goodness of 9/11 aftermath is so positive. I wish we can regain a lot of those thoughts & feelings for each other & humanity.โ€

I spoke the woman who wants to be identified only as โ€œVโ€ (1/4) #aapi
โ €
She was running Sunday night & was crossing California & Fillmore when suddenly 1 or 4 teens got out of a car & grabbed her cell.

When they saw her watch she was grabbed & pulled into the car & window shut on her hand.

She says 1 bit her & pushed her out. #SanFrancisco
V says she was dragged for almost a block on California so you can imagine how much pain sheโ€™s in. One finger is numb

V is determined to find her perpetrators & is hoping people who may know who these suspects are to help. (She says theyโ€™re teensโ€” including two โ€œprettyโ€ blondes)

Jacqueline & her husband live in Stockton & were celebrating their 12th anniversary when their car was broken into at Fishermanโ€™s Wharf.

#SanFrancisco Image
Jacqueline brings Leo everywhere but the 1 time she thought he was too cold & tired she put him in his car carrier & tucked it under the carโ€™s dash, mostly out of sight.
โ €
She got back about an hour later & said โ€œmy heart fellโ€ฆI knew something happened.โ€ #SanFrancisco ImageImage
This happened at North Point & Powell. Jacqueline & her husband spent all night searching but had to drive home. She is devastated.
โ €
She said this trip โ€œwas supposed to be happy & beautiful & it turned traumatic. My heart just broke leaving the city without Leo.โ€ #SanFrancisco ImageImage

Katerinaโ€™s parents have owned Franklin Market 25 yrs. 72-y/o father Petros (known as Peter) was attacked last week #SanFrancisco Image
A man allegedly came into the store to use the restroom. When Peter explained there were no public restrooms the man got belligerent & pulled out a knife.
โ €
Peter was stabbed in the chest, arm and left eye.

This all comes as his wife was diagnosed w/breast cancer #SanFrancisco Image
Peter is an immigrant from Eritrea.
โ €
His daughter Katerina told me her father โ€œcame to this country to find a new life & what we thought was a safe lifeโ€ฆand now theyโ€™ve never been this terrified.โ€

He is now having problems seeing in his right eye which was not stabbed. Image

This 71-year-old Asian Latino man was bitten by a woman & dragged face-down on the pavement for his jade necklace.

He lost 7 teeth & now needs dental implants. He told me โ€œI love Oakland but not anymore.โ€

#stopasianhate #aapihm #AAPI
(1/4)
Today he met with Carl Chan of the Chinatown Chamber of Commerce who was attacked himself last month.

Carl is not only helping him w/services but encouraged him to speak out to encourage other Asians โ€œnot be afraid.โ€

#StopAAPIHate #StopAsianHate #AAPIHM
There was also a witness named Linda. She told me multiple cars drove around the 71 y/oโ€™s body & NOBODY stopped.

The man is grateful for Linda saying she was a โ€œGood Samaritan to me & I will forever be grateful to her.โ€
