This telephone call was Efij;i;ij:;fjiran' ' " ved by supervisorNIDIA GONZALES, AA at theRaleigh Reservations1 Center in ort aro ina. The call was transferred to central dispatch in Fort Worth, Texas, because there was a disturbance on board and the flight Y crew was not able to contact the cockpit. ONG wanted central dispatch to contact the cockpit. MARQUIS first confirmed that ONG was an AA flight attendant. ' . ' ' , During this telephone call, ONG reported that there was a passenger on board who was armed with a knife. vThis passenger was seated in 103 and was identified as TQM ELSUQANI phonetic!. when MARQUIS first heard this, he thought that the knife might have been a Swiss army knife of some sort because it was not that uncommon for passengers to have these. ONG then informed MARQUIS that the passenger in seat 9B, DAVID LEWIN, had been fatally stabbed and that the number 1 flight attendant, K.A. MARTIN MARTIN!, AA-employee number 307280, had been stabbed as well. MARTIN was in bad shape and was currently on i oxygen. Besides these two individuals, the number 5 flight attendant," B.

Because of the medical emergencies and the violence, MARQUIS intended for.medical personnel and law enforcement to meet the aircraft as soon as it landed. MARQUIS had the flight tagged as a confirmed y hijacking and contacted air traffic control ATC! regarding the - situation. MARQUIS informed the Iof what was happening with Flight ll and instructed her to contact the crew immediately and to perform a range analysis given the amount of fuel on the aircraft. ATC reportedly heard arguing over the microphone, - hearing a statement to the effect of "either turn hack or we'll kill , you." The pilot apparently keyed the microphone at some point during these events thereby allowing ATC to hear part of what was happening. It was thought that these transmissions were recorded by ATC, in this case Boston ATC. During the time in which the telephone conversation occurred, the aircraft flew erratically and was descending in altitude. The transponder was turned off, but ATC was handling this flight as a confirmed hijacking and was attempting to track it. 4 frmm[:::::fffE:ifiif:ffihungAAI |atanu the tele hone, JohnMARQUIS Kennedy F.received a call International Airport in New York, New York. | |reported smoke coming from the World Trade Center and asked what was happening.
