Air India Crash: Forensic Workers Experience Trauma and Burnout

When disasters happen, like the Air India plane crash, people have to work to identify the victims.

This is very hard work for the people who do it, like doctors and scientists.

They have to look at the remains of the people who died and try to figure out who they were.

This can be very sad and difficult to deal with.

The people doing this work can start to feel very sad, tired, and stressed.

This is called secondary trauma.

It's like they are getting hurt by seeing what happened, even though they weren't directly involved.

To help, experts suggest providing mental health support and places to talk.
