Once de Septiembre

I thought I should address this after reading Amanda's comment, as it could definitely be confusing. There are two significant September 11's: September 11, 2001, and September 11, 1973. We are all, of course, familiar with September 11, 2001. September 11, 1973, was the day that Augusto Pinochet overthrew Salvador Allende's government in Chile. So while Pinochet was in power, September 11 was a day of celebration (except for Allende supporters, but they couldn't exactly do anything about it). The part of Amanda's comment about it being morbid still stands, however.
