Forensics and Modern Disasters (Forensic Science Investigated)

DISASTER STRIKES IN many forms. A bolt of lightning hitting a dry tree can set off a devastating wildfire that devours homes and destroys lives. Terrorists’ bombs have exploded in many countries, bringing sudden death to thousands of people. Earthquakes not only tear down homes and smash bridges but sometimes unleash the huge, deadly waves known as tsunamis. Some disasters are natural events fires, earth- quakes, floods, tornadoes, hurricanes, blizzards, and more. Other disasters have human origins. Accidents such as airplane crashes involve human activities or technology, while bombings and terrorist attacks are deliberate. The term “disaster” fits all these events, and many others. Any sudden happening that causes
mass deaths, injuries, or property damage can be called a disaster.
