Forensics Expert Explains How to Analyze Bloodstain Patterns | WIRED

[laurahines]

when he said “next up we’re gonna try something a little more difficult, interpreting relationships” i felt that

[williamvouk]

I would’ve appreciated trigonometry so much more if the word problems involved investigating blood stains

[wermzucker]

My brain: "You should know how to analyze bloodstain patterns"
Me: "Why?"
My brain: "You just gotta"

[愿以佛法度众生]

As a forensic science student, blood spatter analysis is totally important in crime scene investigation. The direction of blood flow, angle of origin, the dragging pattern could help you to figure out the condition of victim and perpetrator.

It amazes me how people with "morbid" careers are incredible chill and charismatic people.

[steamengine]

You can never imagine how much gore, blood, darkness, death and depressing atmosphere this guy has seen because he seems so light and outgoing. It must be a cool experience to have a drink with him and hear his stories.

[reshmashaik]

This video is a goldmine for all those crime writers googling this exact thing in the middle of the night

[elixirology]

I’ve always been interested in forensic investigations but it truly requires so much skill it’s crazy

[camx]

Murderer: Ok let's drag the body here, over there, turn back around, avoid this lil patch of floor and let's put some on the ceiling too

This guy: tf happened here

[andyshere]

1:40 "So if we used regular whole blood..."


My brain: So is it skimmed blood?

[rxinydxys]

The best part about this is we didn’t ask for this but it’s here

[PixelatedPixelz]

As someone interested in criminal justice, psychology, and forensics, this was a really interesting video that will hopefully help me out if I ever take a class relating to blood.

[ExcitedPunch]

Why learn math? SO YOU CAN FIGURE OUT BLOOD SPLATTER

[Be_JPEG]

their are 4 types of people here;
1: those who are interested in this job type
2; people who are bored and don't know why there here
3: murderers trying to cover their tracks
4; artists

edit; I know I used the wrong their/there/they're I really don't care people 😭 🖐 it's the internet not a spelling-bee

[ameliablack]

This kind of guy should speak at career day in high school to motivate kids to learn trigonometry.

[babytail]

Mom: I’m not hitting you that hard why are you crying?
The slipper: 4:45

[jessicahiebert]

Guy trying to flirt with me at 2am: "what are you doing up so late?"
Me: "learning how to analyze bloodstain patterns hbu?"

[sorin]

I like how I refuse to learn basic math, but memorize blood stain patterns at 10pm.

[xjt]

He has really bright eyes for someone who's seen the dark side of society

[Peluceus]

me watching dexter: oh yeah a blood-splatter analyst sounds like a cool job
me hearing this guy talk about triangles, hypotnuses, convergent points and tangents: nevermind

I suck at geology
