An Ending, without Resolution for Many

The NYC Medical Examiner's office has ended identifying remains from the Sept. 11 World Trade Center attack.

1,585 of 2,749 people killed were identified using physical remains. Two of the hijackers were even identified. However, according to the article on CNN.com, the office had received 19,916 human remains. After exhausting all available DNA technology as it currently stands, the office will keep the records and contact families if better technology becomes available.

Guess they'll put the records in the morgue of the morgue.
