Agent who answered call from hijacked plane: "Last thing she said to me was pray for us"
On Sept. 11, 2001, Vanessa Minter, an American Airlines reservations agent, answered flight attendant Betty Ong's call from one of the hijacked planes.
"The cockpit's not answering. Somebody's stabbed in business class and um, I think there's mace, we can't breathe," Ong said on the call. "I don't know, I think we're getting hijacked."
