Who was the flight attendant on 9 11 in Greensboro?

Sandy Waugh Bradshaw always wanted to be a flight attendant, the perfect career for someone who loved travel and meeting people.



The flight attendant frequently associated with Greensboro, North Carolina, on September 11, 2001, was Sandy Bradshaw (Sandra Adams Bradshaw). A native of the Greensboro area and an alumna of Eastern Randolph High School, she was a 38-year-old veteran flight attendant for United Airlines, based out of the Greensboro/High Point (GSO) region. On 9/11, she was working on United Flight 93. Bradshaw is remembered as a hero for her actions during the hijacking; she was one of the crew members who called United's maintenance facility and her husband to report the situation. During her final call, she famously described that she and other passengers were boiling water to use as a weapon against the hijackers as they prepared to storm the cockpit to retake the plane. Her courage, along with that of the other passengers and crew, prevented the aircraft from reaching its intended target in Washington, D.C., and her legacy continues to be honored annually in the Greensboro community.
