Summary:
In the wake of the explosion at Accurate Energetic Systems, investigators have now identified 14 of the 16 victims using Rapid DNA technology, a tool that can match genetic material in under two hours. This breakthrough allowed authorities to deliver answers to families far sooner than traditional methods would allow. With the site still too hazardous for full recovery, the technology has been a game-changer, providing clarity in a chaotic and dangerous scene. Officials say DNA samples from relatives were key in speeding up the process, offering what they called a “light” during a grim investigation. The blast site remains unstable, and determining the cause could take months.
