😭😭😭Sara Elizabeth Low grew up in Batesville, Arkansas, and graduated from high school there in 1991. She later attended the University of Arkansas, earning a degree in finance and real estate. She could have pursued a traditional career behind a desk, but Sara chose a life in the sky. In the spring of 1999, she joined American Airlines as a flight attendant, initially based in New York. By the fall of 2000, she had transferred to Boston and settled into her own apartment in Beacon Hill....
Sara was 28 years old on September 11, 2001, when she was working aboard American Airlines Flight 11, traveling from Boston to Los Angeles. After the flight was hijacked, fellow flight attendant Amy Sweeney needed a way to communicate with people on the ground. When the crew's usual method was not working, Sara remembered her family's calling card number—a number she had known since college—and recited it from memory. Sweeney used that information to reach American Airlines Flight Services in Boston, remaining on the line for nearly 25 minutes while calmly providing critical details about the hijacking. Flight attendant Betty Ong also made a separate call through the aircraft's airphone to American Airlines reservations.
Those calls became an important part of the record of that morning. Sara Low's quick thinking helped make communication possible during an unimaginable crisis. Shortly afterward, Flight 11 struck the North Tower of the World Trade Center. Sara was among the 92 people aboard the flight who lost their lives that morning.
Today, Sara Elizabeth Low is remembered not only for the tragedy of September 11, but for the life she had built, the dreams she pursued, and the courage she showed in a moment of extraordinary danger. Her memory remains with her family, friends, colleagues, and all who remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001. 🇺🇸 SEPTEMBER 11, 2001 — Never Forget. 🕊️🗽Honoring the victims and heroes of 9/11. 🙏🇺🇸 The Historical Memories🖤
