Before the America's 9/11, there was another one in
Santiago, Chile when the dictator Augusto Pinochet
used Hawker Jets to bomb the Presidential Palace on
September 11, 1973 to remove the democratically
elected President Salvador Allende. As a counter
reaction to the bombing, Casagrande, an underground
literary organization of young poets born during
Pinochet, rented a helicopter and dropped 100,000
poems on the Presidential Palace on March 23, 2001.
They followed with a bombing of Dubrovnik, Croatia and
Gernika, Spain -- both cities bombed in the past.
