The role of flight attendants received heightened prominence after the [[September 11 attacks]] when flight attendants (such as Sandra W. Bradshaw and CeeCee Lyles of [[United Airlines Flight 93]]; Robert Fangman of [[United Airlines Flight 175]]; Renee May of [[American Airlines Flight 77]]; and [[Betty Ong]] and [[Madeline Amy Sweeney]] of [[American Airlines Flight 11]]) actively attempted to protect passengers from assault, and also provided vital information to [[air traffic controller]]s on the [[aircraft hijacking|hijackings]], as did many passengers.<ref name="FAH">{{cite web |url=http://www.united.com/page/article/0,6722,50102,00.html |title=Flight attendant history 10 |publisher=united.com |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061130135620/http://www.united.com/page/article/0,6722,50102,00.html |archive-date=30 November 2006}}</ref>

In the wake of these attacks, many flight attendants at major airlines were laid off because of decreased passenger loads.<ref name="FAH" />
