| Abstract: | The problem of identification of human remains is still one of the most difficult and pressing problems of forensic medicine. Such identification is particularly difficult in cases of intense destruction caused by exposure to physical factors (explosion, contusion, fire, compression, etc.). Approaches to identification in such cases are less available and differ essentially from traditional approaches used, for example, in cases when the remains are exposed to natural long-acting factors. This "white spot" is attempted to be liquidated by investigating aircraft accidents with grave destructive results. The potentialities of express identification of human remains in such cases are shown and a complex of characteristic signs which can serve as the landmarks are distinguished. The authors emphasize the strict adherence to certain regulations when working at the site of technogenic disasters and the hazards of disordering the process of identification in case these regulations are neglected. |
