They are two women and a man. Its identification was possible through advanced DNA analysis, which worked on genetic remains.
The mayor of New York, Eric Adams, and the district forensic medical chief, Jason Graham, announced the finding of the identity of three victims of the attack suffered by the Twin towers of the World Trade Center, It happened September 11, 2001 and with a range of 2,753 victims. It is the first identification of the dead because of that fact that goes for the year.
The identified remains correspond to Ryan Fitzgerald, a 26 -year -old financial merchant from Floral Park, New York; Barbara Keating, A retired executive of a 72 -year -old non -profit organization, born in Palm Springs, California; and Another woman whose name and origin remained in reserve At the request of your family.

They found three new victims of the September 11 attack
The three identified were completed from the study of tiny genetic remains found more than two decades ago Among the debris of the World Trade Centerafter the attacks of aircraft kidnapped by Al Qaeda.
From there, the application of genetic studies of different fragments was reiterated, whose techniques were advancing over the years to trace the genetic code damaged by fire, sunlight and bacteria.
This reached a methodology of “Advanced DNA analysis”To confirm the identities of the deceased, which include more precise sequencing technology. “Each new identification testifies to the promise of science and sustained scope to families despite the passage of time. We continue this work as our way of honoring the fallen,” he said Jason Graham.
