Three more victims of 9/11 identified, almost 24 years later
Three more victims of the 9/11 terrorist attacks have been identified, according to authorities in New York City. Ryan Fitzgerald, of Floral Park, New York, and Barbara Keating, of Palm Springs, California, were named Thursday. A third victim was also identified but their name is being kept private at the request of their family, according to NYC Mayor Eric Adams and Dr Jason Graham, the city's chief medical examiner. Keating, 72, was on board one of the passenger jets that was flown into the World Trade Center. Fitzgerald, 26, was a trader working for a firm based in the World Trade Center, NPR reports. Identification was made possible thanks to advancements in DNA analysis and the help of the victims' families, Graham said at a press briefing. 'Nearly 25 years after the disaster at the World Trade Center, our commitment to identify the missing and return them to their loved ones stands as strong as ever,' Graham said. Keating's remains were recovered in 2001, and Fitzgerald's were found in 2002, according to the officials. The three newly identified victims represent the 1,651st, 1,652nd, and 1,653rd victims of the attacks to be identified. While the victims' remains have only now been identified, their loved ones knew that they died during the 2001 terrorist attacks. As such, Keating and Fitzgerald's name are already included on the 9/11 Memorial in New York City. Barbara Keating's son, Paul, described the work that the city as "stunning." "They're doing this for us. They're doing it like they're possessed," he told NPR. He said that the pain of losing a loved one in the 9/11 attacks has been a constant in his and his family's lives for more than two decades. "Not a day went by for years that [9/11] wasn't part of our lives, we had no choice," he said. "It affected everybody in our family. My two sons were truly affected. They were almost seven and four. They wake up one day and grandmom is dead and bad guys killed her. There's no way my mom would have wanted that for them." According to the medical examiner, there are approximately 1,100 victims of 9/11 whose remains are still unidentified. "Each new identification testifies to the promise of science and sustained outreach to families despite the passage of time. We continue this work as our way of honoring the lost," Graham said. The September 11 terrorist attacks killed 2,977 people. Some 2,753 of those deaths occurred in New York City. Another 184 people were killed when American Airlines Flight 88 crashed into the Pentagon, and 44 lives were lost after the passengers of United Airlines Flight 93 fought their hijackers and crashed the plane into a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania.

Remains of three 9/11 victims identified more than 20 years after attacks
The remains of three 9/11 victims have been identified thanks to evolving DNA technology, New York City authorities have said. Officials announced on Thursday that they have identified the remains of Ryan D. Fitzgerald, a 26-year-old currency trader, Barbara A Keating, a 72-year-old retired non-profit executive, and another woman, whose name is being kept private at her family's request. They were identified through now-improved DNA testing of remains found in the wreckage after the attack on 11 September 2001, New York's medical examiner's office said. The remains of Keating and the woman were recovered in 2001, and Fitzgerald's remains were recovered the following year. Chief medical examiner Dr Jason Graham said in a statement: "Each new identification testifies to the promise of science and sustained outreach to families despite the passage of time." "We continue this work as our way of honouring the lost." Ms Keating was on her way home to California on American Airlines Flight 11 when it was hijacked by al Qaeda terrorists and deliberately crashed into the World Trade Center's North Tower. Her son, Paul Keating, told US media that genetic material from his mother's hairbrush was matched to DNA samples from relatives. Part of his mother's ATM card was the only other trace of her ever recovered from the debris, he said.

A total of 2,977 people were killed, 2,753 of whom were in New York. Around 1,100 victims remain unidentified, the medical examiner's office said. It has steadily identified more remains in the 24 years since 9/11 by retesting fragments as techniques have advanced. New York Mayor Eric Adams said: "We hope the families receiving answers from the Office of Chief Medical Examiner can take solace in the city's tireless dedication to this mission."
