Marcy Borders (July 19, 1973 – August 24, 2015) was an American legal assistant who worked for Bank of America at its branch located in the World Trade Center North Tower and survived its collapse, following the attacks on September 11, 2001.
Stan Honda, a photographer for Agence France-Presse, captured an image of Borders, completely covered in dust from the building collapse, that subsequently became widely described as "iconic". The image became so well known and so widely distributed that Borders became known as "The Dust Lady".
