September 11 1973: Thirty-Six Years On

September 11th is widely remembered for the attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon in 2001. There is almost nothing on the original 911 attacks - The Chilean coup d'état of 1973.

It was on that day that the US-backed military forces of General Augusto Pinochet invaded Chile to overthrow the democratically elected president Salvador Allende. It led to the deaths of 30,000 innocent people.

We at JW Studios offer this video in remembrance.

quanto sera que os EUA pagaram a Pinochet e seus comparsas para fazerem esse golpe, respondam vcs que são norte americanos, que na maioria das vezes causam desgraças em outros paises.

Thank you for including Chile along with 9-11 here. My mom is a survivor of their torture camps. I never really ask nor look at videos relating to it but this was tasteful and appreciated.

30,000 dead?? What country are they referring to? Cambodia?? I WAS there and did not see 30 thousand people dead anywhere! I did see a family of "desaparecidos" in Sydney-Australia though...I can provide names and addresses to all interested parties.

Numbers do no account for anything...facts do!

Viva la Revolucion!
