Pinochet's coup remembered in Chile after 51 years

Chilean authorities Wednesday paid tribute to the victims of the dictatorship of General Augusto Pinochet Ugarte which started on Sept. 11, 1973, after the military uprising resulted in the death of President Salvador Allende and the overthrowing of the democratically-elected government 51 years ago, when a regime that would last until 1990 seized power.
