Congratulations to Toronto’s SickKids Hospital: the world’s best children’s hospital for the second year in a row.
Canada’s health care system is one of our greatest strengths. It’s a reflection of our values — powered by the incredible nurses, doctors, researchers, and staff who deliver world-class, life-saving care every day.
“This is the first time I’m ever hearing this story in its entirety, and I’m so, like, incredibly grateful to you that you saved my life.”
Audrey De Leon was a baby at a daycare near the Twin Towers on 9/11. Darla Stuckey sprang into action and ran with her to safety.
She never called her family to say goodbye. Instead, Sara Low used her final 30 minutes to make sure the FBI knew who attacked America.
Trapped at 30,000 feet with no weapon, 28-year-old flight attendant Sara Low held the only tool that could expose the 9/11 hijackers to the world: 14 numbers memorized in her head.
When terrorists stormed the cockpit of American Airlines Flight 11, chaos erupted in the cabin. Flight attendant Amy Sweeney scrambled to grab an onboard airphone to alert the ground team, but hit a devastating wall - she didn't have a calling card to bypass the system lock.
Without her wallet on hand, Sara stepped forward. She didn't have plastic, but she had clarity. She had memorized her family’s AT&T calling card digits.
Sara handed those numbers to Amy, unlocking a lifeline to the ground.
For the next 20 minutes, Amy stayed on the line with American Airlines flight services in Boston. Because of Sara's calling card, the FBI received its very first concrete intelligence of the day: exact seat numbers of the hijackers, physical descriptions, and their movements in the cabin.
While Amy relayed the critical data, Sara spent her final half-hour moving terrified passengers toward the rear of the plane, shielding them from danger.
Sara had the means to use that airphone. She could have called her parents. She could have said a final goodbye to her sister.
She didn't. She chose to make sure the world would know the truth instead.
True heroism isn't defined by muscle or weapons. It’s defined by presence of mind in the face of impossible terror - and the selfless decision of who that mind chooses to serve.
