persons missing after the september 11, 2001 attacks

World Trade Center

The number of missing and presumed dead in New York City is 2,749. As of January 22, 2004, 1,538 victims had been identified based on physical remains. The remaining 1,208 were included in the final tally based on a death certificate that was issued after sufficient evidence was submitted to a state court that the person was at the World Trade Center or on one of the airplanes. This total includes the 147 people on the two aircraft (and does not include the 10 hijackers). (See Timeline of WTC Missing). UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan said nationals from 62 countries were among the missing (foreign casualties). 1058 sets of remains have been recovered and identified; 155 of which are the remains of the 343 firefighters lost. DNA identification has been employed to identify many of the victims. Rudy Giuliani, mayor of New York at the time of the attack, urged relatives of the missing to provide DNA samples if possible, to assist in the identification of others. In August 2002, there were only 90 people classified as missing; that is, their remains had not been identified and no family members had requested a death certificate. That number went down to 89 when George V. Sims, 46, was found as a patient in a health-care facility in Newark. He was one of seven people who were found following the August 19 release of an official list of victims.
