Over 1000 Victims of the 9/11 Attacks Have Yet to be Identified

Last week, just days before the U.S. was set commemorate the 22nd anniversary of 9/11, the New York medical examiner's office said it identified two more victims of the attacks, which killed at least 2,753 people. The two new identifications, the 1,648th and 1,649th victims, came after decades of negative results from the office's DNA laboratory, it said. The victims, whose names were withheld from the public at the request of their families, were the first to be identified since September 2021. A total of 59.9% of victims have now been identified.
