Ceremonies Mark 14th Anniversary of 9/11 Attacks

HeadlineSep 11, 2015

Today, people are congregating for ceremonies in New York City, Pennsylvania and Washington, D.C., to mark the 14th anniversary of 9/11 terror attacks. The commemoration comes after last month’s death of Marcy Borders, the former Bank of America legal assistant who became known as the “Dust Lady” after a photographer snapped a picture of her engulfed in dust as the Twin Towers began to fall. Borders died of stomach cancer, which she believed was linked to the ash she inhaled on 9/11. She was 42 years old. Meanwhile, in Chile, people are marking the 42nd anniversary of its own 9/11. On September 11, 1973, democratically elected President Salvador Allende died in the palace in a U.S.-backed coup, ushering in 17 years of brutal dictatorship under Augusto Pinochet.
