This call led to all other planes being grounded. Ong remained on the phone for 23 minutes, providing information about what was happening on board.
The community gathered to honor her bravery. A song was played to honor Ong. Further details about the tribute and Ong's actions are available.
Ong's actions on that day have been recognized as heroic.
