Harry Ong doesnโt seek attention & prefers to keep a low profile.

Butโฆ (1/5) #Respect#911Anniversary#911Memorial
โฆI 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 havenโt heard the call, youโll 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: โBetty Ong, to me was the hero.โ
I asked Harry what heโd like the world to know 20 years later.
โ
โEspecially in this time of divisiveness & hatredโฆthe goodness of 9/11 aftermath is so positive. I wish we can regain a lot of those thoughts & feelings for each other & humanity.โ

Bruce told me he takes the 22 bus daily (1/4)#SanFrancisco
Bruce said a group of young ppl threw things at his head on the bus around Chestnut & Fillmore
โ
Bruce asked the driver to call PD he says he was sucker punched, glasses flew off & he fell to his knees.
โ
โOne more shot & I would have been brain injuredโ (2/4) #SanFrancisco
He was let off & crawled/ran to a nearby restaurant which was packed w/customers
โ
โEveryoneโs got their Labradoodle & Patagonia. Iโm trying to save my butt.โ
โ
(Bruce is v. funny & credits meditation.)
โ
He says the suspects followed & swung at him at the restaurant (3/4)
This woman was attacked for her iPhone, her hand closed in a car window, dragged for half a block & 2-/ bitten by 1 of her assailants in Pacific Heights
I spoke the woman who wants to be identified only as โVโ (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.
V says she was dragged for almost a block on California so you can imagine how much pain sheโs 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 theyโre teensโ including two โprettyโ blondes)

2 men walked into Recycle Books w/o masks Friday. When employees ask them to mask up & the men startโฆ (1/3) #WearAMask
โฆgiving workers a hard time. After a customer says the men are giving her a migraine, 1 man calls her โKarenโ & says she should go back to Berkeley.
The woman says โIโm Mexicanโ & man says โadios Karenโ
A group of anti-mask women came in days earlier & left this. #MaskUp
The men are part of a group called Easy Believism which records videos at different businesses & posts them to YouTube.
They dictated this statement to us today. #WearAMask

Jacqueline & her husband live in Stockton & were celebrating their 12th anniversary when their car was broken into at Fishermanโs Wharf.
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 carโs dash, mostly out of sight.
โ
She got back about an hour later & said โmy heart fellโฆI knew something happened.โ #SanFrancisco
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 โwas supposed to be happy & beautiful & it turned traumatic. My heart just broke leaving the city without Leo.โ #SanFrancisco

Katerinaโs parents have owned Franklin Market 25 yrs. 72-y/o father Petros (known as Peter) was attacked last week #SanFrancisco
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
Peter is an immigrant from Eritrea.
โ
His daughter Katerina told me her father โcame to this country to find a new life & what we thought was a safe lifeโฆand now theyโve never been this terrified.โ
He is now having problems seeing in his right eye which was not stabbed.
