邓月薇(英语:Betty Ann Ong[注 1],1956年2月5日—2001年9月11日),第三代华裔美国人[2][3]、美国航空空服员,出生于加利福尼亚州旧金山。她是九一一袭击事件中第一个通知当局当天发生劫机事件的人[4]。2001年9月11日早上,邓月薇在美国航空公司第11号班机上值勤,该航班起飞后不久即被恐怖分子劫持。她与美国航空公司地勤人员通话25分钟,传递了劫机事件的重要信息,导致美国联邦航空管理局关闭领空[5]。911事件委员会为此宣称她是英雄[6][7]。
生平
[编辑]邓月薇出生于旧金山,父亲是邓锦仕(Harry Ong, Sr.)[8][9],为俄亥俄州出生的第二代华裔美国人[3],祖籍广东开平市,母亲邓余金爱(Yee-gum Ong)也生于开平[10],后移民美国[3]。邓月薇在家中四个小孩中排名老幺,前有大哥邓达民(Harry Ong Jr.)、大姐邓月华(Gloria Ong Woo)、二姊邓月芳(Cathie Ong-Herrera)[11]。
邓月薇于旧金山唐人街长大后,毕业于乔治·华盛顿高级中学。她的父母在昃臣街(Jackson Street)开杂货店。[12]1980年代,她在父母的杂货店工作,有一天一群帮派成员闯入杂货店,要她把钱交出来。她要求他们离开,有人掏出枪指着她,她再次告诉他们离开,帮派最后离去。[13] 邓月薇去世前住在马萨诸塞州安多佛。[12]2001年9月11日,邓月薇给自己分配了11号班机,这样她就可以回到洛杉矶并去夏威夷与她的姐姐度假。
2001年9月11日大约8时20分,邓月薇向地面控制中心拨通紧急电话,汇报航班可能被劫持的求救讯息;据悉,邓月薇是首位向地面报告有关劫机消息的人。在胁迫和恐怖的情况下,邓月薇坚持与地面控制中心进行了约20分钟左右的通话。在邓月薇和地面通话25分钟后,这架飞机于8时46分撞上世贸中心北塔。
航班通话纪录
[编辑]以下是邓月薇、美国航空公司南部订位办事处、当值运营专员尼迪娅·冈萨雷斯(Nydia Gonzalez)与美国航空紧急专线之间的8分26秒的对话记录。[14]这段对话从邓月薇开始,不过她的声音只在前四分钟听得到[15]。

后续
[编辑]在2001年9月21日,大约200名旧金山的华裔社区成员聚集在一个小公园,向邓月薇致敬。当时旧金山市长 Willie Brown 也在现场,他颁发了一项宣言,向在这场悲剧中失去生命的人们致敬,并将9月21日定为“邓月薇日”(Betty Ong Day)。[16]
在2002年,邓月薇、艾米·斯威尼和11号航班机长约翰·奥戈诺夫斯基成为玛德琳·艾米·斯威尼民间勇敢奖的首届得奖者。这个荣誉由马萨诸塞州政府创立,每年至少颁发给一位马萨诸塞州居民,以表彰其在捍卫或拯救他人生命方面显示出非凡勇气。[17]
在2002年3月,邓月薇的遗体在世界贸易中心的现场寻获并辨识出来。她被火化后埋葬在加利福尼亚州科尔马的赛普雷斯草坪纪念公园。[18]
邓月薇基金会以其名字命名,以纪念她对儿童福祉的关注。该基金会的董事David Huff表示,它提供“有关营养、健康、体育活动、领导技巧、批判性思维、规划、群体和团队活动,以及社区意识和凝聚力的培训和指导”。其活动包括向巴克斯菲尔德警察活动联盟和旧金山唐人街的邓月薇华人康乐中心等组织提供援助。[19]
在2013年3月,该基金会公开反对运输安全局(TSA)自911事件以来首次允许刀片长度达2.36英寸的刀具再次登上飞机的决定[20]。该基金会的主席兼首席执行官,邓月薇的二姐邓月芳发表声明称:“2001年9月11日上午发生的可怕事件始于美国航空公司11号班机的劫持。恐怖分子使用小刀刺杀了两名空中乘务员,控制了飞机。我的妹妹乘务员邓月薇,以及整个机组人员和乘客都被谋杀。没有言语可以描述我们家庭所经历的心痛和悲痛,这是其他任何家庭都不应该忍受的。我支持空中乘务员工会联盟的立场,反对TSA允许刀具和其他危险物品登上飞机,因为这关乎每个人的安全。” [21]该基金会是反对TSA这一举措的组织联盟之一,最终导致TSA放弃了这一计划[22]。
媒体
[编辑]在2006年的美国广播公司迷你剧集《The Path to 9/11》中,由尹真姬饰演邓月薇,而在2004年BBC纪录片《历史零时差》的第二集中,则由Jane Zhang饰演邓月薇。
邓月薇向航空公司总部打来的通话片段在2012年电影《猎杀本·拉登》的开头部分被广泛使用。该片段在未经授权且未经邓月薇家人和航空公司同意的情况下被使用。他们要求该电影的美国发行商Sony Pictures Entertainment以她的名义作出慈善捐赠,并在电影的萤幕上给予她演出的名字,同时在该电影的网站和家庭娱乐版本中声明邓月薇家人不赞成电影中所描绘的对奥萨马·本拉登的追捕中使用酷刑的行为,并在第85届奥斯卡颁奖典礼上承认这些事情。[23]
