Marcy Borders, a 28-year-old employee at the Bank of America in the World Trade Center, survived the building’s collapse on September 11, 2001. A haunting photograph captured her in the aftermath, completely covered in dust, a moment that came to symbolize the human impact of the tragedy. The image became widely recognized, and Borders became known as "The Dust Lady." She passed away from cancer on August 24, 2015.
