New DNA technique helps identify more victims of 9/11 attacks

The Guardian: New DNA analysis techniques are gradually helping experts identify more victims of the attacks on the World Trade center on 11 September 2001, scientists in the office of New York City’s chief medical examiner said on Thursday.
Although the death toll after two hijacked airliners crashed into the twin towers was 2,605, the remains of more than 1,000 people remain unidentified, to the dismay of their grieving families.
Using new technology it pioneered, the
medical examiner’s office said it was able to
recently identify financial worker Scott Michael Johnson, 26, who worked on the 89th floor of the south tower.
