Mourners Show Up at 9/11 Hero Luis Alvarez's Wake

The final salute to former NYPD detective and 9/11 hero Luis Alvarez, who spent his final days pleading with Congress on behalf of his fellow first responders, started Tuesday afternoon. Family, friends and fellow New Yorkers paid tribute to the hero during his wake Tuesday at Towers Funeral Home in Oceanside — just days after he died from 9/11-related cancer over the weekend. Gus Rosendale reports.
