Forensic Science Forensic Investigation

1. Fire scenes are different than the regular crime scenes because as for the evidence of a fire scene was most likely destroyed or burned, the person who committed the crime does not usually the crime scene. This makes it a little more difficult to piece together the suspect and convict someone of their crimes.

2. The blast effect is what happens when a rush of gasses from the source of the bomb blows outward.

3. Two types of high explosives are both primary and secondary. Primary explosives can be easily detonated and extremely sensitive to heat. The secondary explosives are explosives that are less sensitive to heat.

4. Substrate control is a sample that has been uncontaminated by a flammable substance. It will allow the forensic scientists

Evidence from these scenes should be collected by placing them into air-tight bins or containers to help prevent from the evaporation of flammable substances. The glass cases and paint cans would be great because of their airtight lids. Avoid the use of plastic bags because they will produce harmful gases when mixed with these substances.
1. The most challenging aspect would be collecting the evidence on these types of scenes. This is due to the fact that there could be no evidence left. The evidence over time will degrade so forensic scientists will have to rush and be hasty about the samples when collecting

I don't think that a search warrant should be required for Fre scenes because there would really be nothing left to search for. This is going through a scene after a huge fire. I would understand why some people would think a warrant to search would be reasonable because really no one would like to be accused of doing the crime.

3. Yes, I believe that color chips can be used to help catch the criminals,it would also make it much more easier to track down where exactly the materials would go to. Also to pinpoint if they would make a bomb.

4. The improvised explosives are widely common in today's time because it's way more easy now to make it. Pretty much anyone can mix firework powder into a pressure cooker and dump it into a backpack or suppose a bathroom in a largely populated building.

5.The procedures have strayed from normal standards a lot since the explosive manufactures have the information and the supplies for combustible combos such as the internet. The main idea here for the forensic scientists who track the bombs analysis is what could be used to trigger it, make it and make it unknown to the public

    A terrorist attack could be potentially as low tech as a shoe bomb or a well thought out plan such as the hijacking of aircraft that caused the 9/11 attacks in New York. The wide spectrum of hazards for a terrorist event range from Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD), explosives, and a combination of hazards (WMD with an explosion of a factory or facility with harmful chemicals). Federal and State laws have ensured that hazardous chemicals and items that are transported or produced are properly labeled and transported so as not to affect the public. In addition to labeling these hazards it is key to have First Responders and the public have a general understanding of what these labels mean and how to ensure they protect themselves from the hazards.…

    “Bad things will happen, and I have learned to accept that, but if bad things didn’t happen to us, if we didn’t have those moments of weakness, we wouldn’t be able to enjoy the good nearly as much,” said Rebecca Denny in 2011 (Truesdell). On April 19, 1995, the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City was bombed by Anti-Government militant Timothy McVeigh and Co-Conspirator Terry Nichols. The Oklahoma City Bombing was known as the most threatening terrorist attacks to happen in the United States until six years later in 2001 when 9/11 took place in New York City, New York. One of the earliest bombings in the United States was on October 10, 1910 when two brothers bombed the Los Angeles Times building. Twenty-one people were killed and more than one hundred were injured.…

    On the eleventh of October 1939 the President Franklin Delano Roosevelt received a letter from the one and only Albert Einstein, which Albert Einstein had actually wrote on August 2 1939. The letter mentioned of a new field of physics that was showing that the element uranium could undergo nuclear fission, with the resultant release of a remarkable deal of energy. Ever since the Greek man named Democritus stated in the year of 450 B.C. that everything in existence is made of atoms, ever since then scientist have been working to figure out what an atom is exactly.
