I took it as opposed to identified dead victims. Kind of makes sense that way.

But it makes just as much sense if the word "dead" is eliminated altogether. Like I said, redundant. Live victims would be quickly identified. They didn't need to make the distinction on the memorial.

Oh, I know. I wasn't really arguing so much as explaining why I didn't get it the same way. Or making excuses.
