There's a much less well known, but similar incident that also took place in 1993. Khamar Darban was an instance where a group of hikers were making their way through mountains in Western Siberia, close to Mongolia, and died under mysterious circumstances. Only difference is there was an eyewitness survivor, a 17 year old girl who was part of the group. She reported that most died of exposure, but under weird circumstances like trying to rip their clothes off and even banging their heads against rocks, almost like a bout of insanity that overtook them. However, due to the remoteness of the location, it was 3.5 weeks before rescuers could make it up there, so decomposition had affected the bodies pretty badly. Lots of theories ranging from poisoned food to infrasound resulting from a freak storm that hit them, but interesting incident nonetheless. There's a video on KZbin covering it but aside from that very little except some Russian translations from the early 1990s. The sole survivor changed her name, moved away and has refused all requests for interviews.

[@mr.pissedoff1903]

It could’ve been from HAPE (High altitude Pulmonary edema) and HACE (High altitude cerebral edema). Mixed with hypothermia, and you’ll go insane. Plus, there’s ways for ‘infections’ to be spread amongst one another, so that would explain the shared hypothermia, and mania.

[@patrichausammann]

​@@mr.pissedoff1903 In the case of the Dyatlov group, however, it wasn't HAPE, which is easy to prove! Because the summit of the Kholatchakhl is only at 1,096.7 m (3,598 ft). This level is not high enough to trigger HAPE. During my service in the military, I've been to much higher mountains several times, with temperatures sometimes hovering around -20 degrees Celsius for days. Incidentally, no one died, but there was one case in my company in which a soldier lost toes because of the cold and carelessness.

[@silentbliss7666]

The aged Yuri Yudin, the sole survivor of the team, had done a video interview. In it he stated that he doubted the official investigation report about the death of his friends and he believed that the government was somehow involved. Before he passed away, he had asked to be buried in the same place as his friends.

17:50 It would not have needed to be what we consider to be an avalanche. Not a wall of snow barreling down the slope, but rather a relatively small slab of compacted snow. When they pitched their tent on the slope, they cut out the snow to create a flat area to pitch the tent on. This created a deep notch in the slope. The "avalanche" would have been a block of snow (probably a 3 m wide by 3 m long by 1 metre high = 9 cubic metres) detaching from the slope above the tent, falling into the notch and dropping onto the hikers. A cubic metre/yard of snow weighs a fair bit (50 kg), so a "small" slab of compacted snow weighing around 450 kg (around 990 lbs) dropping on a tent would do a lot of damage. Think of it this way, imagine the effect of dropping about 50kg (110lbs) from a height of 1-2 metres (3-6 ft) onto someone in a tent. They would have been trapped under the snow in a collapsed tent, so the only way to get out would be to cut the tent. This had the effect of destroying their protection from the cold. It is unlikely they would have been able to find their gear in the tent, and would have been afraid that more of the slope could detach and form a full-sized avalanche. The rest of what happened was probably due in part to panic and effects of hypothermia affecting their ability to make appropriate decisions.

[@paulbasaur]

yes!

[@mwont]

Except that they were experienced hikers. They would never place a tent in an unsafe location like that. Also no one ever since the accident managed to reproduce the slap event naturally, even if there are photos how exactly the tent was placed.

[@balletshoes]

I fall into the group that supports the wind theory. It is worth noting that the traces outside of the tent show people walking orderly, not in a panic-disoriented fashion. Whatever it was that made them leave the relative safety of the tent, once out, they quickly found out it was a massive mistake, but they could not go back. Experienced hikers know they cannot outrun an avalanche, slap or regular. But experienced hikers make mistakes too. People hold on to their experience as a contrapuntal to some of their mistakes - experience does not equal 'mistakelss'. My only problem with any type of avalanche theory is that avalanches normally kill by asphyxiation, not by severe mutilation. And is it possible for an avalanche to toss and mutilate 9 relatively heavy people, but leave their fragile footprints in the snow unbothered?

[@somewhere6]

The slab avalanche theory has the most physical and circumstantial evidence behind it.

[@mogyesz9]

What i never understand is why people go into conspiracy theories with a limp dick. It was a UFO/Soviet deal gone wrong. Dyatlov was clearly a well versed occultist, employed by the soviet bureau of mystics to use his ESP in UFO research. He was tasked to lead an expedition for the annual exchange of technology between the two parties, hence the connection to the nuclear materials. The CIA was well aware of the soviets getting advanced technology from aliens, hence Zolotarev was used as a mole inside the KGB. When they arrived to the campsite to prepare for the secret meeting scheduled tomorrow in the middle of the pass one of the inpatient UFO operative approached them. Little did the human party know the aliens had their own Cold War happening at the same time so their own secret team was fractured and one of them tried to cut out the others from the deal. When Dyatlov sensed something was terrible wrong his mental echo alerted every alien in the vicinity and they acted quickly, first liquidating their own traitor than fleeing in a rush, causing the unexplainable burns, the avalanche and strange lights of the night sky. The sudden change of events and the sheer shock from it caused Dyatlov to go psychotic and sensing subterfuge he first attacked Zolotarev. This activated the CIA planted killswitch planted secretly inside him, even unknown to the carrier which pumped his body full with combat drugs making the failed operative go berserk. The two turned into mad animals and killed each other while mortally wounding or forcing other party members into unsurvivable conditions. Obviously the Soviet Union covered this up.

[@timokautto7349]

It has, but it is also pretty much dead and buried as a theory, because if the injuries took place by the tent, the victims would have no way entered in the ravine, close to a kilometer from the spot. The injuries were deadly, and the footprints by the tent shows nobody was caaried or dragged.

Nah, it is actually very easy to solve! I solved this case a long time ago and put a video on KZbin. In it I show all the details and all the necessary evidence. I analyzed the photos of the Dyatlov group and enlarged them using the latest technology (non-destructive). In addition, I show many hints that have not yet been noticed by anyone. If you are interested, you can access the first part of my video documentation via the following link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6bIqIGmqpWWepI P.S.: By the way, it was a nuclear test with an R-7 ICBM, the explosive force was 1.6 megatons and the detonation took place almost exactly 27.5 km away from the group, which is still sufficient for third-degree burns and the blast wave at this distance also fits exactly on the injury pattern of the members of the Dyatlov group.

I also show where the described as "strong force" came from and what it was exactly. I also show how much energy was released during the incident. But that's not all, because I've enlarged many images with the latest technology (non-destructive) and I've even compared the registers of the YAK aircraft works and can thereby prove that an excessive number of aircraft (military aircraft) have crashed in this area. By the way, the avalanche theory is very easy to refute! There was no massed snow on the tent, the footprints from the tent towards ravine were not buried. In addition, the gradient on the slope at the tent was only about 20% (probability of an avalanche with this gradient is only about 2%) and the tent was only set up about 400 meters below the summit. The injury picture of the members of the Dyatlov group also does not match that of an avalanche! Incidentally, I've never heard of naturally occurring radioactive avalanches 😉.

LEMINO has done a pretty good video on this topic here on KZbin. I like his conclusion that it may have been their makeshift stove in their tent that relit from an ember after they removed the exhaust-pipe for the night. This caused smoke inhalation in the group leading to panic and confusion as they left the tent in a hurry, only to be separated and lost at night in a snowstorm, tired, partially drunk, and without clothing.

I thought it was already established, that the people were exposed to CO2, generated by the heater and the stove + alcohol. After ripping out the tents and becoming disoriented outside, they got hypothermia, with some ripping out their clothes, which is also a common thing that people in that condition do. Soft tissue, such as tongue, decomposes much quicker than the rest of the body, which is why they were missing. The addition of Zolotarev would've made sense as he as a War veteran, was the most experienced of them all. It is a cool story to tell at a camp sight at night, but just like with all urban myths, the reality is far more mundane.

The behaviour of the hikers became irrational. think about it: 1) they build a small deposit of provisions and they leave behind a pair of skis (there were no spare skis) that means that one of them walked one Km from the deposit to the tent. why? and the next morning that person had to walk back to the deposit to retrieve his skis? it makes no sense. 2) a ski stick was found cut in the tent. why? why would they do that. ? 3) suddenly they start cutting the canvas of the tent with knives. that canvas is NOT easy to cut, and they needed several attempts to finnaly cut it. there were many cuts along the tent, as if all of them started to cut their way out, ignoring the two exits on each side of the tent. why??? this makes no sense at all 4) they leave the tent, and they walk out without boots into the snow. without gloves, without shoes, without coats..... why? 5) they gather in a group and they walk downhill with 9 sets of footprints walking as if they were in a trance. why? 6) Only 2 of them had boots, the other 7 were barefoot or wearing socks (one had only one boot ). isn't that irrational? 7) NONE were wearing gloves. One of them had a pair of gloves in a pocket of his coat, but he did not use them. WHY ????? Everything started to go wrong in the STORAGE HOUSE. Suddenly they leave behind a pair of skis (remember they had no extra skis), and they make a wrong turn towards the Kholat Syakhl, 1500 meters away, instead of going to the mountain pass, which is the logical route. They took that wrong turn, eight of them in skis, and one of them walking. How is that possible? Why they didn't say: hey what are you doing? go pick your skis. Whatever happened, started in the Storage House, after that, it looks like they were in some kind of a trance, making strange uncomprehensible decisions My opinion is that they were under the influence of a hallucinating drug.They were university students, and had contact with other chemistry students. Maybe they took LSD and Meth. That is the only thing that can explain their irrational behavior. The official soviet autopsies reveal no drugs in the bodies. But I can imagine the soviet government censoring that fact. It was 1957. They could not reveal that 9 young soviet students were dead because of drugs. Drug use among young people was a characteristic of capitalist countries

And why was greatly increased radioactivity measured on the victims? Why are visitors of the Dyatlov Pass still measuring increased radiation today? I've never heard of naturally occurring radioactive avalanches. In addition, the 20% gradient on the mountain is not enough, the probability is at most 2%, in which case the tent would have been completely buried and no footprints would have been found. The real cause of the death of the Dyatlov group was a nuclear test with an R-7 missile whose warhead had a yield of 1.6 megatons. The distance to Groundzero is 27.5 km, which fits exactly with the injury profile of the victims! In addition, many rocket parts were found in the area, which fit the mentioned R-7 missile.

I’m listening to an audiobook about this event, and I’d say the Swiss theory is what happened. Only thing I could think of is that someone mistakenly believed their lives were in danger and fled the tent. Such a small scale avalanche at night could easily explain their hasty exit

[@patrichausammann]

@Christopher Lutz First of all, I'm Swiss myself, but I have to disagree, the Swiss ETH scientists are definitely wrong! Had it been an avalanche everyone would have been buried and the tent would have been covered with snow. However, there were only loose clumps of snow on the tent. The ski stick and the skis in front of the tent were still there and the tent was not carried away either. Why would several people have burns on their faces and the backs of their hands? Several group members only had burns on the outside of their hands, but none on the inside. What is that supposed to be from, the oven? No, definitely not, because it could be locked (standard Soviet military tent oven). Why would the group run away from the tent after an avalanche? Because it burned? No, that was not the reason, which you can clearly see from the pictures of the tent. There were no burn marks on the tent. If the tent was only sparsely covered with clumps of snow, why not set it up again at least makeshift, e.g. with the skis and the aforementioned ski pole? After all, the oven was still there (which, by the way, was off when the accident happened! Why should the group flee in the opposite direction of civilization into the valley after an avalanche is said to have come down? They ended up migrating from the other side to their campsite from the southeast and not from the northeast, where the "escape route" led. The traces indicated that the people must have moved relatively quickly? Why should one do this when the avalanche has already come down? Was it only part of the group that managed to run away from the avalanche? No, this can't be either, because that would be another point that wouldn't make sense, would it? In such a case, the tracks should have been filled with snow from the avalanche. Why hadn't the tracks in the snow been covered by the avalanche and found even after three months? After the avalanche, there was no possibility of another avalanche, so there was no reason to run away. Remember, the group was only 300 meters below the summit. In addition, according to avalanche research institutes, the possibility of an avalanche on a slope like the one the group was on, which is only 15 degrees, is almost impossible. This is also confirmed on the Red Bull Sports website. Only from 20 degrees there is a slight possibility for wet snow avalanches. According to the weather report, it was too cold for a wet snow avalanche at the Dyatlov Fall. The frequency of slab avalanches only increases from an incline of around 30 degrees. Incidentally, it is not just that the incline, the pattern of destruction, the injuries, the behavior of the group, the tracks in the snow and the changes in the landscape and vegetation do not fit the avalanche theory. But also the radioactivity, the testimonies and the last pictures of the group do not fit this theory. In addition, the time I determined for the incident also does not correspond to an avalanche. Incidentally, there have already been people who tried to trigger an avalanche on the said slope with various means, even with fireworks. However, no one has succeeded, although I doubt anyone will ever. Why was radioactivity measured on the group's clothing? Why was increased radioactivity also measured in the organs of the group members? Why is increased radioactivity still being measured on the Dyatlov Pass? Questions over questions, I know. But I've already looked into it all and solved the case. If you are interested, you can watch my documentaries on YT. I go into all the points and explain what it really was that led to the death of the group using various pieces of evidence, circumstantial evidence, image enlargements, aerial photographs, animations and witness statements. The last pictures that the group shot are the nail in the coffin, which is evidenced both by the testimonies and the changes in the landscape on the aerial photographs. I was even able to narrow down the exact time of death to +/- 20 minutes. But that's not all. Because I also found out what the weird tattoo on Zolotaryov's arm actually is. I can also prove that many more people died in the same area that same morning (side note: rather unlikely time for an avalanche as well). As already written you can see my work. I really go into everything, although I will only publish the exact time of death in part 3, which is still in progress. I'm sure you won't regret looking at it.

@@patrichausammann There was a hurricane or storm that caused loud sound and caused panic. -30 to - 60 degree winds did the rest of the job. No clue why you would set up a tent on a flat mountain ridge when you got a forest close by ?

[@patrichausammann]

@@mathiashammar1 The problem is that I've already considered all the data and checked it multiple times. The wind mentioned in the weather reports came from the northwest. The strong short gust of wind came from the east. As I said, I considered all possibilities, checked all witness statements, evaluated the photos of the group members and the search teams, but also aerial photos, and included the various radioactive measurements in my research and much more. In addition, all calculations that I have carried out speak for my theory. I even calculated all the facts into Bayes' probability and came up with a 99.9999999 percent probability that I am right (and yes, that's 7 digits after the decimal point 😉). There's nothing I haven't thought of. Edit: Your question as to why a tent was set up on a mountain ridge instead of in a forest towards the valley is easy to answer, since it was important to have the widest possible view in order to carry out observations for a secret mission.😉

[@patrichausammann]

@@mathiashammar1 Addendum: They were experienced hikers who had completed several such trips. In addition, according to the International Avalanche Research Institute, an avalanche can be ruled out in this terrain (slope of only 15 degrees). Another point is that in a storm in this area with such a small incline you can rule out such injuries as so many broken bones, even fractured skulls! One must also remember that there are neither natural radioactive avalanches nor storms! During the autopsy, radioactive levels of over 4,000 CPM were measured on the internal organs of the group members. These values are extremely high and one can completely rule out all natural reasons for this! However, I explain all this in great detail in my videos. P.S.: I was in the military myself and was at an altitude of over 1,700 meters even in winter, with the temperature during the day being minus 19 degrees, I don’t even want to talk about the temperatures at night.🥶 That means I have some experience with such situations myself.

Thanks, KZbin. I'm ever so glad to be reminded that y'all have your own poorly researched opinions that you want to share with us (and manipulate your algorithm to promote.)

[@aledroberts6580]

I thought it was related to the combined effects of air dropped mines being tested in the area and the disorientation caused by the unusual winds found in the area. They would not have lasted long in that environment and the rapid onset of hypothermia.

Hi ROB, N01, every crop circle leaves one thing on the ground, Radiation.

Folks, FOLKS- think this through....that tent eould not have withstood an avalanche not the skies which they supposedly used to help pitch the tent- 2 months later when they finally located them, any avalanche would have creamed that tent! I doubt it was even their tent st all but rather planted there!

[@brycetomecek5065]

I think it was a case of an avalanche or snow slide hitting the tent, causing them to panic and cut their way out of the tent. Disoriented and scattered, they succumbed to the elements.

The New theory is that they were killed in different location by accident. Then the tent and the bodies were staged.

[@joevanlear7566]

I HAVE THE ANSWER TO THIS!!! There is root that grows in that area that russkies take. It's like "Bath Salts" and thusly the same behavior is displayed! A bag of the same "herb" was found on the hikers who died there in the 50's (?). Please SOMEONE research this "herb" and report back. Thanks

There is no mystery. Hikers messed up setting tent and got swept by an avalanche. There are plenty of examples where experienced hikers messed up from all over the world.
