Basic instinct in a feline.

Reported cases in Europe of large felines attacking humans are rare. Recently, in France, a man was attacked in an animal park by a tigress he had raised. He received fatal cervical wounds. This case of death by bites and lacerations, together with others in the recent international literature, underline the hereditary ferocity of such felines and the way in which they prefer to inflict lesions to the neck.

Rapid, efficient dental identification of 92% of 13 train passengers carbonized during a collision with a petrol tanker.

On September 8, 1997 (day 0), an express train in Aquitaine, France, crashed into a petrol tanker, which immediately burst into flames and set the first carriage of the train on fire. We describe the dental technique and methodology which led (day 2) to the positive identification of 92% of these very heavily carbonized remains. In only 1 case, and only to be totally certain, did the investigators have recourse to use molecular biologic techniques. The use of this specific odontostomatologic technique (craniomandibular disarticulation with bone samples) and excellent collaboration with the Identification Unit for Mass Disasters Victims (CIVC) precluded recourse to any reconstructive identification.
