Another Sept. 11 victim has been identified.
The newest victim has been identified after remains from Ground Zero wsere retested with new DNA technology.
The victims name was not released.
The remains of nine victims after the 9/11 attacks have been identified from thousands of recovered remains in the last two months. The city medical examiner’s office says the city has recently identified a firefighter, an Australian passenger on the plane that crashed into the north tower and woman who worked in the north tower.
The city uses new technology that creates stronger DNA profiles from bone fragments. Hundreds of bone fragments have been recovered in and around Ground Zero.

Identifying these bone fragments is a topic that needs repeating, especially to young voters. Recently, I brought this topic up in my college class on Human Consciousness. As I spoke of this activity to the assembled group of Juniors and Seniors, their countenances revealed a solemn compassion for the victims and their families.
This connection between the human mind and soul deserves attention by educators. By opening the minds of these young thinkers, we also help them to get in touch with their souls, and as Stephen Covey illuminates, “to touch the soul of another human being is to walk on holy ground.”
