Belgian victim of 9/11 attacks formally identified
Thirteen years after the 9/11 attacks on New York’s Twin Towers, a Belgian victim has been formally identified.
The New York medical examiner’s office identified the victim as Patrice Braut, who was 31 at the time, on Tuesday. Braut was able to be identified thanks to new DNA tests carried out on human remains found at the site during the first recovery operation at the World Trade Center in 2001 and 2002.
To date, only 60% of the 2,753 people who disappeared in the New York attacks have been formally identified based on the 21,906 human remains that were found on the site.
No trace has ever been found of 1,114 victims and 7,885 of the 21,906 human remains cannot be linked to any one individual.
Due to a promise made to the victims’ families, tests continue to be carried out on the human remains and in recent years, they have been able to identify formally a further handful of victims.

There is some help for this family. But this will not bring closure. Closure will come only when sound, scientifically tested explanations will come for the collapse of 3 towers. The twin towers were built to resist the impact of a 707 - how could a 767 bring them down in such a perfect manner, complete ? WTC 7, the 3rd tower, is said to have collapsed from office fires - a joke, how could a building permit be issued to a high-rise building capable of collapsing entirely from office fires ? and watch how symmetrically this building fell ! There is more to 9/11 than meets the eye. Check rethink911 and ae911truth. And listen to what SCIENTIST and ENGINEERS are saying about the scandalously unscientific things we were told about 9/11.
