2 [/SIZE] No trace has been identified for about half the victims, despite the use of advanced DNA techniques to identify individuals. Six weeks after the attack only 425 people had been identified. [SIZE=-1]
3 [/SIZE] A year after the attack, only half of the victims had been identified. 19,906 remains were recovered from Ground Zero, 4,735 of which were identified. Up to 200 remains were linked to a single person. [SIZE=-1]
4 [/SIZE] Of the 1,401 people identified, 673 of the IDs were based on DNA alone. Only 293 intact bodies were found. Only twelve could be identified by sight. [SIZE=-1]

New York City Medical Examiner Charles Hirsch had the difficult job of informing the friends and families of the victims that the remains of their loved ones might never be identified. The forensic investigation ended in early 2005, when the medical examiner's office stated it had exhaused efforts to identify the missing. The victim identification statistics reported in a February 23, 2005
AP article, listed in the following table, remained about the same as those reported in articles published a year after the attack. [SIZE=-1]

nearly 2,800 victims fewer than 300 whole bodies found fewer than 1,600 victims identified over 1,100 victims remain unidentified over 800 victims identified by DNA alone nearly 20,000 pieces of bodies found over 6,000 pieces small enough to fit in test-tubes over 200 pieces matched to single person nearly 10,000 unidentified pieces frozen for future analysis The aircraft impacts and fires in all probability would not have destroyed a single body beyond positive identification. Nor have building collapses ever been known to destroy human remains beyond recognition. However, the buildings were destroyed in a manner that converted most of their non-metallic contents to homogeneous dust, including the bodies. This destruction of the bodies assured that no exact determination could ever be made regarding who was piloting the jets at impact, and the condition of the people on board.
This is one of many examples in which evidence which could either confirm or refute the official story was destroyed. For example, a finding that the people onboard Flights
11 and
175 had been killed by some means before reaching the Towers would undermine the official story of multiple hijackings. The effective cremation of the bodies eliminated most of the evidence that would support such a finding.
Good ol' Saddam Hussein sent millions of dollars to families of the 19 killer cells. Then he sent a dozen Jumbo Jets to pick up what was left of AlQaeda and Talibanis by airlifting them from Kabul the night victory was declared in Afghanistan. Nothing was done to stop the transport of killers to regroup and hit America back someday. Nothing.
