CS Miami- Down The Drain: 1.	Things/ terms I didn’t understand/ Questions: •	Pulmonary edema •	How do you distinguish between and human bone and an animal bone? •	How can you tell how old a bone is? •	If there are multiple injuries, how do you know which is the cause of death? •	What is the spray that helps detect blood and fieces? •	Do dental records help a lot in determining age and gender? •	How do you confirm if it’s blood or not? •	Point of origin? •	Liquid explosives?

2.	Was the show believable or not? I felt that the plot and the cause of the murders was a little to the extreme with the explosives and the tubing in the sewer, but the forensic methods all seemed to be pretty believable. I liked it in the show how it would do flashbacks so that you could see what really happened, and therefore understand what was going on better. I also enjoyed seeing the methods of how they collected data and did forensic tests to find out more about the murders.
