Three cases of mass disaster, KAL accident in Tripoli, express bus accident and park cemetry accident in Korea, were referred to the National Institute of Scientific Investigation Seoul, Korea for indvidual identification(ID). All the cases were throughly investigated to establish the most scientifically sound ID possible. In addition to evidence from fingerprint, dental, anthropological, visual, pathological, blood typing and superimpose according to the case, radiologic studies were attempted.
In KAL case 52 of 59 were identified by comparison radiography. Differential diagnosis was accomplished in 2 misidentified bodies in express bus case by radiography. Radioiolgic examination also revealed good characteristics in park cemetry case, however, did not satisfactorily contribute to ID because of restricted information.
