San Francisco Chronicle: S.F. mural depicting 9/11 flight attendant scarred by taggers

Sept. 11, 2007

Taggers destroyed a mural in San Francisco's Chinatown that depicted notable Chinese Americans, including flight attendant Betty Ong, who provided details to authorities from American Airlines Flight 11, the first plane hijacked by the terrorists which crashed into the World Trade Center six years ago. Ong grew up in San Francisco's Chinatown. The 200-foot-long, 7-foot-tall mural was titled "Gold Mountain," and resided on the wall of the Chinatown Community Development Center.
