    “Molecular-genetic testing has been completed,” it said in a statement.

    “According to its results, the identities of all 10 deceased have been established, and they correspond to the list published in the flight manifest.”

    Not sure what’s more impressive; fact that they were able to turn the test results back so quickly, or fact that all 10 deceased, including the flight crew, have their DNA in some sort of database. Isn’t it supposed to take weeks to do the analysis?

      have their DNA in some sort of database.

      You don’t need to have THEIR DNA, their relative’s DNA is enough. Still sussy.

      test results back so quickly,

      It took few days. Normal speed.

      While I won’t argue the DNA database issue, they can prioritize testing to be much faster.

        I just straight up don’t understand and am impressed with the tech in this space we as a society have.

      I assume they could test it against a known living relative to establish the likelihood of the identity.
