a starving bear or polar bear could do this easily

[@angelidez13]

@@babygrinchjr6016 Yeah they absolutely could...but then it would have mauled and then ate the people inside. It didn't though, the victims had mostly internal injuries "like that of a car accident" so why didn't the victims have some sort of lacerations or blood loss? That's what I was questioning

[@theia1653]

There were no other sets of tracks except theirs, no sign of animal mauling, and nothing that indicates a bear destroyed the tent looking for food. The tent was cut open from the inside so something must've panicked them, but once they got outside, they walked (not ran) as a group away from it judging by their footprints. It's like they were under an evil trance.

If it was a bear, the bear would have taken one of them and buried them in the snow to come back and eat them later. It's something bears do has a kind of storage thing. Especially knowing food is scarce for animals and anything really near that area, a bear would not pass up leaving fresh food. Watch the show Golden Kamuy it's an anime that actually shows this in the very first episode when a bear kills a man and burying it for later

[@pvthudson5069]

The missing eyes, lips and tongue are more easily explained, they are the soft tissue areas. It's very common that birds will eat these areas first. Very common. The bodies are frozen but these parts are easy for small animals to eat. And blasts and falls can cause internal crush injuries. I really believe this explanation fits everything perfectly.

[@Geronimo2Fly]

I have investigated the Dyatlov Pass mystery for years, and have read every article and every book about it that I can find. It is obviously FAR more complicated that what is presented here. I am convinced that these young people died due to human action, probably military. They did indeed have injuries that were likely the result of fighting -- massive bruising, both where they would have been hit and on their knuckles as if they had fought back. They had injuries that appeared to be due to weapons -- not only the skull fractures, but bruises that appeared to be from being hit by a baton or circular injuries that matched the end of a rifle barrel, as if they'd been jammed with it. I've seen the autopsy photos, and the injuries were extensive. As far as infrasound, it affects only a small percentage of people; it is possible that one or maybe two of them may have been susceptible, but there's just no way all nine would have been. If one or two had left the tent due to panic, no way would the others have followed barefoot or with only socks on. Also, they would not have walked over a mile, including climbing a hill, before they came to their senses and realized it would be a far better idea to return to the tent. Imagine walking a mile in below freezing weather and bare feet; there's just no way they would have done that unless they'd been forced, such as at gunpoint. There are some assumptions that are made by so many people that we do not know are true. First, we know the tent was cut from the inside, but we do NOT know that it was them who did that (maybe someone cut it to confuse investigators?). We know there was a fire down by the trees, but we do NOT know that they made it (also the rescuers indicated that the fire had been extinguished intentionally (the wood was only partially burned, and there was more available firewood nearby); why in the world would they do that when they were freezing?). We know branches were broken and cut off the tall tree on the side facing the tent, but we do NOT know that they are the ones who broke and cut them (maybe someone was watching them at their tent?). There are many other examples. Also, friends of this group stated that the tent was not set up properly -- with the opening facing the wind, which Dyatlov never would have done. Also the stove (furnace) was custom-made by Dyatlov and a friend so it was not a standard design. It was never set up that night. Why not? It is possible that whoever set up the tent didn't know how to put together the stove and didn't have time to figure it out so they just left it there. Lastly, the military got involved very quickly (would you normally expect a large number of military personnel to be called out for a search for nine missing hikers?), and also called off the investigation very quickly. The head investigator was knee-deep in the investigation when he was called away; when he returned, he shut everything down very shortly thereafter, as if he'd been ordered to drop it. In addition, many have claimed that a military investigation report was begun BEFORE the hikers were even reported missing -- this report has never been released to the public but there is convincing evidence it exists. There's lots more and obviously way too much to write here. However, in short, there is simply no reasonable explanation as to why NINE intelligent and experienced outdoorsmen/hikers would have left their tent in the dark in sub-zero temperatures without shoes and walked over a mile unless they were forced to do so.

I studied up a lot on dyatlov's pass. It was revealed later that far beneath the snow, in the revine, they found support branches and a seating area made by the last 4. It is widely believed that they dug in and made a snow cave, which eventually caved in on top of them causing their injuries.

[@Whatlander]

This is still one of the best videos I've seen about the Dyatlov Pass incident. You let the information be weird on its own without embellishing, and you mention elements of the investigation and time period that others gloss over in their rush to spout spooky stories about aliens stealing a girl's tongue. Every analysis video (excluding all the ones that, as Pvt Hudson put it, repeat the same things from each other) has some interesting variation in how the details are presented. I've yet to see anyone present the parachute mines theory OR the very non-aliens reason why parts of Ludmila's face had deteriorated to this level of detail. Interestingly, Lemmino's video brings up one conflicting detail from the investigative reports, stating the footprints indicated that the team actually walked "calmly" away after the initial panic inside the tent. Not sure how one determines if a walk was calm or not, but I guess the footprints were shallow and clean enough that it seems like whatever scared them lost its urgency as soon as they cut their way out of the tent. He also points out that their stove (the vent pipe is visible in a photo of the tent) was home-made, which may have led to some small fire or smoke prompting the prompt exit. Between possible smoke inside the tent, and possible explosions outside the tent, and maybe even weird infrasound panic wind, it sounds like there could have been too many plausible things going on that overwhelmed the group, and the vague blanket explanation of a "compelling force" left a lot of space for researchers' imaginations to run wild. Honestly, the fact that there are almost too many explanations only makes the whole thing even more interesting. It's no less bizarre and tragic for having so many realistic possibilities. Also, thanks for not randomly inserting the corpse images like some youtubers do. Nobody needs to see dead kids in order to listen to their story.

There's a KZbinr called Lemmino who actually covers this topic as well. He goes on to state that the destroyed campsite was likely due to a malfunction with the makeshift stove(?) that caused the tent to become filled with smoke. In fear of suffocating they would have likely cut through the tent to both create ways for the smoke to clear, and get out. You can see the vent for this stove at this part of the video: 3:16 . Outside of what many think, the group weren't in a large state of panic. The tracks leaving the site were more mild, suggesting a much more calm approach to the situation. On their trek four of them fall into a ravine stepping on unsafe ground, causing severe injuries. A few of them hike back to the tent, while the rest attempt to make a fire to keep warm. You can watch Lemmino's video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j2m1mpqurc6coqs . He dives head long into the topic, and as far as I've seen dives deeper than where most stop; the Wiki page about this.

[@amphg7647]

Could the ‘parachute mines’ have accounted fir the alleged tanning of their skin? If the internal injuries coinciding with a lack of external injuries is really consistent with being in too close a proximity to the blast from a ‘parachute mine’ then I’d say it pretty much has to be that. The unexplained radiation, the balls of light seen by adjacent hikers, yeah it’s pretty much got to be that one.

[@mictianfollower2644]

The mine step on them unfortunately

[@eustab.anas-mann9510]

It's parachute mines for sure.

[@Tekape]

That makes no sense whatsoever, parachute mine detonate on the ground, they aren't radioactive and they don't glow in mid air, also this area as a test site makes no sense. Also they detonate when they make contact to the ground, why drop them in snow then. Also they got plenty of actual closed off test sites.

[@mictianfollower2644]

The place was a secret test ground for weapons for the ussr perhaps they did not just tests parachutes mines anything was possible. But in my opinion it was an astronomical event which is meteor explosion given the facts of radiations and the confusion.

This is a story that has always fascinated me. I heard/ read somewhere that paradoxical undressing was also another theory.

[@MickGarrad]

As usual, well done dude. Was really glad to see coverage of this incident on your channel as I have been interested in it for many years and believe anyone covering these kind of topics really can't overlook this one. I noticed though, that you failed to mention it's been said that some of the members of the expedition seemed to have been 'prematurely aged'. Now I'm not sure if this was just speculation that can be easily explained by decomposition in that kind of environment, but since you usually cover all the bases it seems a little odd that you wouldn't even mention it in passing, even if it has since been explained. Either way, thumbs up, don't stop what you're doing :)

I recently read a book about this story titled "Dead Mountain" by Donnie Eichar. I found this book compelling as the author tries to piece together the series of events that led to their deaths. I don't want to give it completely away but the conclusion was intriguing. Back then, nobody could explain what "force" could have led them to abandon their shelter without being properly clothed for 30 below 0 weather. Over the last 10 years, scientists have identified and now study a weather phenomenon that the author has attributed to the mystery of these unlucky souls. I won't say what it is in case anyone reading this wants to read it for themselves. Anyhow, they were experienced outdoorsmen and women, and it seems they encountered something they had no knowledge of, and that scared the shite out of them. The weather phenomenon makes perfect sense and combined with being out in the wilderness on a moonless night, the dark and insane cold weather killed them quickly as there was no way the uninjured could make way back to the tent. Another awesome vid!

Wow! I found a video I haven’t watched! Your style and presentation have changed so much.

Love your videos! I’ve been binge watching them all week. One other theory I’ve heard in this case is that the stove they had inside their tent started to leak carbon monoxide, and the hikers became delirious due to carbon monoxide poisoning. Can’t say for sure how plausible it is though!

[@coffeebotography]

You didn't mention the level of radioactivity or type, but to be considered significant, it most likely was not residual from a previous test blast. More than likely, the combination of testing and a tripwire concussion antipersonnel mine caused internal injuries. A mine on its own would not attract undue attention but combined with unreported nuclear testing, a coverup would have been appropriate. One member may have wandered (not far) to relieve himself and tripped the mine, thus motivating a hasty exit. People panic. Then hypothermia, lost sense of direction, etc.

WHO WOULD HAVE GUESSED THAT THEY WOULD FIND RADIATION IN A REGION OF THE COUNTRY THAT JUST HAPPENS TO HAVE A NUCLEAR PLANT THAT RECENTLY MELTED DOWN?

Kimberly25christine smith ......they didn’t but once you got in the tent, with the body heat of everyone, it got warm. You would have taken off your boots and jacket. You probably would have taken off your socks to dry them as well. Socks were not that easy to come by. Trousers, shirts etc would have been left on. These people left the tent clothed (except some were barefoot) but their clothes were stripped off either by themselves as the final stages of hypothermia set in or by their comrades who scrounged the clothing from their already deceased comrades. That’s why some were wearing other people’s clothing. The sleeping bags and blankets would have been relatively warm and even without the stove, had nothing happened that night, they would have been fairly comfortable.
