Ceremonies Mark 14th Anniversary of 9/11 Attacks 
-------------------------------------------------


 
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.
