Without wanting to upset people, in respect of credit cards and paper based ID it often depends on the seat of the explosion and the explosive used in the attack as to what survives, coins, Jewellery, keys and even credit cards become part of the forensic scene because of there attributes of becoming part of the weapon itself. Part of the problem with identifying actually numbers of victims comes down to the sum number of individual body parts recovered to make a whole. Your both right in that these items can be both shredded and survive an explosion. Willow, when I go anywhere I have my credit cards, Driving Licence and other bits and bobs that would identify me. They’re in my wallet which rest on my right buttock. They would have more than likely to have survived……….
