Abstract

Mass disasters such as e.g., plane or train crash, shipping accidents or huge explosions in the region of Slovak Republic are not very often, but in spite of this fact sometimes they occur. Such a terrible event-a destructive detonation of non-specified amount of explosives, happened on 2nd March 2007 in the Military Repairing Enterprise in Novaky, Slovak Republic, by which the whole enterprise was almost totally destroyed, many employees were injured and eight persons died due to consequences of the explosion. Investigation of this disaster took several months, and parts of dead bodies were found in following weeks during the ruins removal; authors describe the autopsy findings on the explosion victim's bodies and the possibilities of unknown human remains identification found in the area of the detonation often provided only by DNA analysis.
