Madeline “Amy” Sweeney was among many heroes on September 11, 2001. A flight attendant on the first hijacked plane, Sweeney contacted the airline’s ground services crew to convey critical information about the hijackers and their actions in the plane’s final minutes. Sweeney’s heroic actions are remembered annually through the Madeline Amy Sweeney Award, an award that honors civilians who demonstrate exceptional bravery, without regard for personal safety, to save the life of another in actual, imminent danger.
