In September 11 1973 General Pinochet lead a bloody military coupe in Chile, which overthrew democratically elected President Allende. Every september 11 there are demonstrations, or celebrations, depending on which band you belong to. There are riots, barricades, Molotov cocktails, tear gas, power outages and most of Santiago is in a war state. This year was no exception. The power to the university campus came back around noon september 12, after being out for more that 24 hrs. An average situation.

This will probably happen every september 11 until the generation that survived the Pinochet dictatorship is dead.
