9/11 Flight Attendant Victim Who Graduated Neshaminy High To Be Honored

LANGHORNE, PA — A flight attendant who was a victim of the Sept. 11 attacks on America who graduated from Neshaminy High School will be honored next month.

The Alumni Committee of the Neshaminy Education Foundation has announced that Lorraine Bay will be honored in memorial at the Fifth Annual Neshaminy Alumni Achievement Awards ceremony on Nov. 23 at Neshaminy High School.

The 1961 high school graduate was a senior flight attendant for United Airlines with 37 years of experience on Sept. 11, 2001.

She was working an extra shift that morning on Flight 93 from Newark to San Francisco and was among the crew and passengers who confronted the terrorist hijackers.

The plane, which was later determined to be targeting federal buildings in Washington DC, crashed in Shanksville.

The heroic actions of Bay, her fellow flight attendants and the passengers prevented an additional tragedy that day.

Bay will be honored not only for her actions on that day, but also for her lifelong commitment to her career where she was known for her years of professionalism, generosity and upbeat disposition toward her colleagues and passengers.

Five additional Neshaminy alumni will be honored this year at the ceremony. Their names will be announced later this month, officials said.
