It's been nearly two decades since September 11, 2001, and just 60% of the people who died that day have been officially identified. On Tuesday, just days before the 20th anniversary of the attacks, New York City's Chief Medical Examiner's Office said it has identified two more victims.
Overall, 2,753 people died in New York City that day — meaning just over 40% of those who died have not been officially identified, according to the medical examiner's office. The two identifications are the first to be announced in nearly two years. The last was in October 2019.
