He didn't touch on it but dead mountain wasn't on the way to their destination, they changed direction at some point and made camp on dead mountain for no apparent reason other than they might have been lost
Yuri Yudin, the lone Survivor of the group, told a Reporter from the St. Petersburg Times: "You know, if I had a chance to ask god just one question it would be: What really happened to my friends that night?"
It is clear that something caused the hikers to panic - so much so that they weren't even thinking straight. Fear is the strongest emotion. But what could cause such fear, clearly something the hikers didn't understand at that moment - maybe something was approaching the tent, they knew.
In the diary it's also said they were too tired to even make their own small stove functioning.... well, the only thing I'm sure it probably wasn't a simple avalanche even though it's the official statement.
I think a small avalanche would be the thing that would make them leave in a hurry, but not running as some other videos/sites say. The first they would've thought after awakening so violently would be they either misjudged the nature of the terrain or that a freak accident occured. Either way getting out of there as soon as possible seems like a good idea, especially since 3 of them have sustained serious injuries that put their lives at risk. So once they get them to the woods into safety they plan to go back to retrieve clothes and essential supplies but after the adrenaline rush and the temperature drop (some claimed it went from -22 to -40 during that fateful night) they aren't unable to make it back to the tent, going uphill not making things any easier, and die from hypothermia. The same happens to 2 of their friends back in the woods and they're stripped from their clothes and placed alongside each other, in a respectful manner that doesn't resemble the way the other corpses were found.
A good theory is that the Leader ( Igor) made a homemade fire he did do this and the burn marks in 2 of the corpses back this theory also the footprints show they were walking (this also makes sense as there was no immediate danger outside) hope i helped here is the link to the video ua-cam.com/video/Y8RigxxiilI/v-deo.html
Joint Pain" He got carbon monoxide poisoning because one of them was using a stove to warm the tent and it didn't have any ventilation. That's basically what they all died from. After the avalanche they couldn't think straight and walked off a ravine. No external injuries, no blood in their skin, just internal injuries and broken bones.
The weirdly small tent and radioactive clothing always weird me out. That and the missing facial features on only one of the hikers. So many strange thinks happening at once lead me to this conclusion: It's Soviet Russia. Don't question it and you'll sleep better.
I don't understand how they could still find footprints and tracks after almost a month of snowfall, especially if it was enough to heavily cover the tent.
Here in alaska you get prints that will dry into the layer that is dried and solidified by wind and then you have your top layer of powder and fresh snow that's more likely to just be blown around instead of freeze into the prints. Too dry to have any moisture to freeze on top of where they were walking.
Begs the question how many tents did they have and could point to a cover up theory for me... Think about it military experiments near buy and only some of the peoples clothing were radioactive..So they found something they shouldn't have went to bring it back and then... They were murdered in the retrieval process of whatever monstrosity they found up there...
@Josef Copernicus If I were attempting to make a statement with a body, I wouldn't leave the poor victim lying dead in a snow covered gully with no guarantee of ever seeing the light of day again. Either way, her face was exposed to running stream water, and scavengers love going for the fleshy bits of humans. In this case, the eyes and the tongue are prime targets, as the water would keep them below freezing point and therefore accessible for such scavengers/microbes.
This was a fantastic video! Very well made. I’m a long time subscriber and I always get excited when I see a new video in my feed. I honestly can’t describe how satisfied I was after watching this. Keep being awesome!
I think lemino’s theory was the closest. His theory states that the stove they brought with them was leaking gas in the tent, so one of the campers cut vents in the tent. It got out of control so the ran. This also explains the burn marks and why they ran away to quickly with only what they could grab. The tree where some bodies were found also has a small amount of burn sticks, this explains why the branches from a tree were missing but only to a certain height and why they would stop under a tree, the two body’s found their likely gave up the few clothes they had to protect the other hikers, witch explains why other hikers had more clothes. The radiation could have been caused by 2 of the hikers working with radiation, witch might have spread from their work clothes to their other clothes. Realistically though no one theory can be proven beyond shadow if a doubt.
And the fact that the stove was found disassembled, it wasn't used that day. Besides why would anyone run away as far as 1.5 km in a freezing cold conditions in this case?
How come no one has made a horror movie about this? Just go with the scariest theory as an explanation and make a movie out of it Edit: Guys read the replies before you make a reply yourself, I've already been told about the movie Devil's Pass no need to keep mentioning its name to me
Only 2 of the nine had radioactive marks on them. Both worked in nuclear power plants and were around it constantly. The dose of radioactivity on their clothes were very low. I bet you money thats where it came from.
I agree with a theory made by lemmino. The furnace in the tent caught fire, so they decided to head down to the forest for shelter. The least dressed started a fire, while dyatlov and 2 others decided to head back to the camp for more supplies. All three died on the way over/back. With lack of supplies the least dressed froze to death. The remaining three went farther into the forest for more shelter, but caused a mini-avalanche making them fall into a ravine, rendering them paralyzed/ unconscious, where they froze to death. The radiation was because they all worked in some kind of factory that worked with radioactive materials.
@@intolerances686 The missing tongue is often the most looked at detail that leads nowhere, Lemmino says that it likely had been decayed by putrefaction or eaten by scavenger animals based on the autopsy reports. There isn't much to indicate what happened to it other than the stomach contents or nearby animals.
The two things that always weirded me out was one of the hiker's last journal entries saying "we now know that snowmen exist" and the fact that some of their body parts were missing like one hiker's tongue
@@sandrawatson-hr1cy missing eyes and tongue and some injuries seem to indicate being beaten by a baton? (no i do NOT think that yetis exist or that this case has anything to do with that)
@Bashar Alyassiri a good question but a possible answer would be during the hysteria they could have ran into the wilderness while undressing and feeling further from where the cloths where left. Also strong winds may have moved the clothes
If anyone is interested in a good book that delves very deep into this mystery, I recommend “Dead Mountain” by Donnie Eichner. This mystery has fascinated me since I first heard of it back in 2015. I got the book and was not let down. It gives you journal entries from the hikers, as well as an account from Yuri Yudin, the hiker that turned back. The author went to Russia and retraced their steps. Again, really good book if you’re interested in this mystery.
Bru Twix The author pretty much goes over all the theories that are currently available. He also then kind of comes up with his own take on a theory, but Obviously I’m not gonna spoil it haha. Again, it’s just cool to see have a in-depth account of the hikers journey, since they were fairly methodical about taking notes .
History Mystery: What caused the deaths of these 9 Russian hikers in 1959? Why did they all leave the tent? We investigate some possible explanations. Let us know your favorite theory below! *We say hitchhiking twice, ignore that :)
Please make videos on the Rezang la battle( last man, last round) of sino-indian war of 1962 and longewala battle (Indo pak war,1971) and on Liberation of Bangladesh.
Since it was called dead mountain, perhaps ghost stories circulated around that particular area. They could've heard strange sounds panicked, and fled. It's happened before.
Having read up on the case and seen the injuries from autopsies its actually very obviously murder and sadly violent torture. Bodies with u-shaped bruises that resemble the butt of a rifle, broken ribs, cracked skulls, signs of strangulation, evidence of eyes removed while still alive, 3rd degree burns, no tongue but the frozen mouth found closed, a camp fire that was purposely put out not burnt out, a tent that was made useless by cutting it, a strange photo of someone following them, and most obvious of all absolutely nobody would walk an hour from the tent in bed clothes unless armed men forced them to do it. To escape an avalanche that never even happened? or they all went crazy?.. seriously? If you look at their backgrounds, most likely at least one hiker was working as a nuclear agent giving up secrets to another side in a place that was comfortably remote (two hikers were recent nuke reactor employees, and all this was during the cold war with espionage at its highest). Why else would there be radioactivity detected in the middle of nowhere. They were followed, searched for something important, and each tortured for information and then killed - whether by the russians, americans, or germans isn't known, but that's why it was covered up by the govt and all became a 'mystery'. Interesting that one of the hikers was left with a pencil and notebook in his hand - probably the killers leaving a warning message to the other side, but it got washed away. It was a terrible cold war incident, not to be made fun of.
It's also true that the soviets were conducting some type of research in barron, arctic like areas. And they also had Intel on the Manhattan project while it was being conducted. The KGB was a thing around that time so it isn't unlikely they stumbled on something they shouldn't have knowing how secretive the soviets were.
I heard this great theory about Dyatlov Pass from LEMMINO's video. He believes their homemade stove caught fire, which would explain some of the burns on the bodies. They panicked from the smoke and cut a hole in the tent to escape. In order to survive in the middle of a storm, they headed to the woods where some of them tried to start a fire while others searched for help or supplies. Due to exposure they all died eventually in different places, either falling off a ravine, next to a river or next to the fire they tried to make. Check out his video.
After watching the video a few times and reading the comments for other theories I have created my own conclusion. In the middle of the night a large explosion awakened the group. Panicked they stumbled out of their tent and ran. Since there were 9 of them and only one small opening some might have cut the tent in order to escape faster. They ran out into the night, running a large distance. Disoriented and not being able to see in the dark of night they could not locate their tent and soon realized that they would freeze to death if they did not find shelter, so they chose instead to head towards the edge of the forest. There a member of the group climbed the tree to see if they could spot the tent. Meanwhile the others below feebly tried to build a fire. This is when they split up, they knew if they stayed where they were, they would die. 2 of the group members went with the leader to try and return to the tent to bring back supplies or to find the path and return for the other 6. Those 3 died along the way back to the tent. Back at the makeshift campsite the other, now 4, hikers realized that the 3 that left were not going to return. They striped the 2 dead of their clothes and started heading deeper into the forest until they found the ravine. They built a makeshift snow shelter, which a short time later collapsed on top of them burying them under the snow. The woman’s face slowly decomposed over 3 months from the running water, that either had bacteria or small fish. The large explosion? A military test of a weapon that had radioactive elements in it. This seems like the soundest plausible reason to me. It would explain the radioactive materials found on the bodies, the distance from the tent traveled, and the cause of death and mysterious injurys from the corpses. I realize that there might be a few holes in my theory. I wish we could have known the spacing between footsteps to indicate whether they had been running for a long time or not. How much radiation was found on them? What position were the corpses were in? The smallest details can provide a lot of information. TL:DR Panic, Confusion, Survival, Dead. Edit: After more thinking, it’s possible that they knew how to travel back to their tent using their own footprints, so they instead stayed away from the tent out of fear of another explosion, using the tree to look for the previous blast/ any new ones / any missiles in the air. After deciding it was safe enough is when the 3 tried to travel back. This would also explain why they went almost a mile away, to avoid another blast. Edit2: It seems more likely that there were multiple small blasts instead of one large one. That would explain why they waited so long to return to their tent. Edit3: After reading more comments and thinking about it more, it is possible that the last 4 hikers didn't die under the impact of collapsing snow. It might have been possible that they fell in. At first I didn't think that it was possible because they would have had to all walk side by side and fall in at the same time, which is highly unlikely. It is possible that the first one fell, or stepped on the edge of the ravine causing a miniature avalanche that caused the other three to fall in, causing high pressure impacts and covering them in snow.
Edit: Thats a great theory! I was thinking clothes were off the 2 because some people get realy hot when hypothermia kicks in, and start to strip down. And impact damage on the other 2 from the collapsed snow hut on them for 3 months. They made a snow hut that happend to collapse withing hours of the bombs. But what I dont get is why the tent us collapsed and half covered in snow, but you they were able to see tracks... if they could see the foot prints they probably would have seen missles holes or impact markings. Edit: no impact or missile holes becuase they could have been exploded above them. Edit: Also a strick Union or government? Edit: That long and you can still see the tracks still sounds fishy to me. Im an ice fisher and 1 day after I go out my tracks are gone with a light snow fall....
Jeled S I have been studying this mystery for quite some time now and all the theories and facts that I have gathered all fit into your theory. Even every little detail makes sense now. Great theory!
i wounder why the small tent ive been winter camping and know they gotta be small to hold heat and wutever. and where there clothes radioactive from just living in coldwar russia? and any was anything else radioactive.
As a Russian myself and knowing how the CCCP was, I personally would never rule out the parachute bombs theory. It would explain the radiation on the clothing, and possibly the high impact wounds, although the latter could also being explained by the collapsing snow shelter/ravine cave in idea. That would also explain why the ravine group's bodies were buried under so much snow and yet the forest group's footprints were still visible.
My favourite theory, although it's almost certainly incorrect, is that it was a Yeti. One of the women had wrote in her diary the night before about something following them. The last thing written in the diary was "The snowmen are real".
well considering he lost all of his friends, never got married, never had children, and couldn’t live his life because of the incident, I wouldn’t call that “lucky”.
Has anyone ever noticed, that on a map, bigfoot sightings are always in areas with high amounts of Fursuit owners, so here's my little theory, that Someone went out into the woods as a Furry and got spotted, and someone called it bigfoot, and the person is too embarrased to come forward about it
I think the "got hit by a small avalanche while sleeping" theory makes the most sense. It explains the badly damaged condition of the tent. It explains the blunt force trauma. It explains why the tent was cut open from the inside (the tent's entrance was blocked by snow so they cut through the only place they could). It explains why they were not wearing clothes (the avalanche made their clothes wet/frozen and unusable.) It also explains why they ran so far away from the camp towards the tree line (they wanted to escape a potential 2nd avalanche.) Their footprints were still visible because they ran out of the tent after the avalanche happened and a 2nd avalanche never came.
i think an avalanche did happen, but not a normal one. if it was a normal one, their wouldnt be any chemicals and the girls face would still have eyes, lips and a full tongue
@@aneirindavies1717well, few years ago (2021 if I remember well), a study proved it was not a normal avalanche but a "delayed slab avalanche", more like a huge mass of snow (slab of snow) from near the tent that slipped on it. Also, we already knew before that study that the girl had no eyes nor tongue because of the river and the radiation was emitted by the mountain itself.
you are correct, cause hypothermia at that stage renders the cognitive abilities to a standstill, that's why even in this example the hikers have their clothes off and even their feet burned.
They have an appeal but don't encourage them too much or it will go the way of the History channel. New season of "was Hitler and alien" as parodied on South Park.
More like a flying panicking giant spider (not like a tarantula, those with thin legs like a black widow) thats probably why they shut the place down for so long.. They had the ultimate soviet nope weapon
One thing ive learned is most of the time the Military offers there service its because they want intel of the area with the help of people who live there without making it obvious that they have another agenda besides helping
It depends on the pressure applied to make it, plust the compactness of the snow and the amount of snow falling in combination of the winds. Not impossible but highly unlikely
1:06 Video says: They set off on a hitchhiking expedition. The people say: "Man I sure hope there are cars going the same direction as this expedition so we can hitchhike".
There's so few history UA-cam channels with good narrators. If only most content creators would realize that narrating is an entirely different talent that they don't necessarily possess. Love this channel
Why are we making this so hard. One of those hikers took a pitcher of a yeti following them. They was in the yeti for bitten area. This is why this area is not good for hunting, because animals do not go there because of the danger the yeti pose on them. Even the small village in the area is aware of the yeti. And they go in at night. Until the next day.
I posted a comment on that, too! He uses the term TWICE!! I explained what hitchhiking is & said it's about as far removed from an "expedition" as one can get. A "hitchhiking expedition" in the wilderness makes no sense! I just can't believe that someone who sounds like English is their first language is saying that!
@@DonnaBrooks imagine being so upset over a minor mistake.. Also, there's an entire team of people writing the script, it could very well be a person who doesn't speak english as a first language who happened to write this (part) of the script
Im pretty sure they were hitchhiking tho, they didn't go on foot the entire way. I don't quite rememberg go watch Lemino's video he actually gives a pretty likley scenareo as to what happened and explains everything in greater detail.
Snow can fall on footprints without completely erasing them. Unless the original footprint is filled in there will be somewhat of a mark for some time.
My great grandpa had cancer, and committed suicide by taking a bottle of whiskey and wandered into the woods of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan in the winter. Anyone who knows how the UP in Michigan is, it's very very cold. He was found in nothing but his underwear. They said it was hypothermia, and a symptom of that is you start to "feel" hot and take your clothes off.
Trevor Sanders maybe the injuries of falling from the tree didn’t kill him and he was able to stumble and run before meeting the same fate as the others
The radioactive cloths would more likely been from a lamp they used. The burner for a lamp during that time had radioactive material. It was common in that area.
@@Gatekeeper0880 no cuz in the video it said they never hunted there and reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeedededdeeedeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeereeeeeereerreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeree was eeeeeeeeee
Could've been a yeti There's a theory on a yeti following them and killing them But I don't know why a yeti would follow a group of people not doing much
Randomperson the only thing I’ll remind you of is that, those were 9 actual people, who never came home. It’s ok to joke about it, but remember there’s a real genuine tragedy behind all of this.
why do I have a strange feeling that the hikers died after arguing with each other and split into three groups while trying to sabotage each other using items they have packed for the trip
that is actually a theory that could explain everything. although i dont think the hikers would carry chemicals or brutally murder eachother, it is still very possible
One plausible theory to why they slashed their tent, could have been smoke buildup from their stove. There is one picture showing one of the hikers with burnt clothing, probably from their stove. Meaning that it wasn't the best and most reliable stove. But say one of them woke up to heavy smoke in the tent. Hard to breathe, pain in your eyes, pitch dark. The person wakes the others and basically just grabs the first sharp thing he/she can find to create an air vent. Imagine being asleep and to wake up to this. Grabbing your clothes or shoes, probably not the first thing you think of. You need air and quick! And combine this with strong winds and snow, one can easily get disoriented and with inhalation of smoke which can cause confusion, decreased alertness, chest/eye pain and so on. And when they all got outside, Mother Nature took care of the rest. Death resulting by hypothermia and some of them sustained injuries while the fell into the ravine. But it's just a theory....
@@TheGranicd Makes sense but one fact I can't explain is why the the heck do they have radiation on their clothes and why did the soldiers even check. I had fall back on the bomb theory.
Nimish Apte there were 3 individual clothing items that had a small amount of radiation and they were worn by only two individuals both of which worked in places that dealt with plutonium. There is a better video out there that actually quotes the medical examiner and backed by research.
Some say the camping stove exploded/caught fire and they had to get out quick, explaining the cutting from the inside. The radioactive clothes came from one of the guys working at a reactor.
@@StarburstAttack I think they knew the ravine was there and figured the snow was deep enough to make a snow shelter. The dudes at the fire probably got separated from the rest. The leader which "appeared to be heading back to camp" was probably doing just that.
it happened like many years ago, what can they get from opening it back again anyways, when some of the files are still kept hidden and they are allegedly limiting at this new investigation. unless they contact the hikers personally
The locals called the place Dead Mountain and barely went up there as there was no wildlife to hunt. Radiation was found on the clothes of several victims and the military shut the mountain off after the incident. These people were taken out by their own government for stumbling across something they should not have seen.
my thoughts. would explain why there were no other foorprints (they have the manpower to mask everything) except for i heard a searchparty found a military boot footprint near the tent. also baton-bruise on the girl and u-shaped bruise on somebody else (riflestock)
@@digstrememcdingus1463 also I'm pretty sure that he was actually one of them members nice to Lyudmila in her journal she writes about how some of the boys where picking on her, she was also only 20, and if It was murder they definitely hated her, her eyes,tounge,parts of her face, and her lip where missing, her nose was crushed by being face first into a rock, she also had something on her foot to keep it warm
Russia opened a new investigation into the incident in 2019, and the conclusions were presented in July 2020: the investigation concluded that the cause of death was hypothermia due to a combination of an avalanche, forcing the group to leave their camp, combined with low visibility. Andrey Kuryakov, deputy head of the regional prosecutor's office, stated: “It was a heroic struggle. There was no panic. But they had no chance to save themselves under the circumstances.”[1]
Sounds like exactly what they would write knowing they killed them. “no chance of survival” “heroic struggle” “no panic”. From the comments I’ve seen about it being some Russian that did it to there own people
They also left out the custom made stove the group used, pictures of it's funnel can be seen in some of the photos the group took of the camp... some sort of explosion/failure or fire with this stove in the tent is one of the more popular theories and they didn't mention it at all
I watched the actually documentary with the real footage and other stuff not showed here which leads to a theory of a yeti getting angry over the military training that was documented to have happened the night they died
They've found evidence it was due to a comparably small avalanche, they had until recently underestimated the topography of the area due to the amount of snow always on it, the angle of the hill is steep enough and with the snow fall/the fact they slightly dug out the area of snow to put the tent had probably lead to the smaller than normal avalanche. Although smaller, it still would have hit with enough force to kill them. Read an article about it a few days ago, can always look for it for more detail than I remembered here
kid the author also dismissed that theory because the case opened more details behind. And the government kept the case opened 3 months so there is no way
@@vncatechinfo9798 That doesn't mean the government wasn't behind it. What if the government was 100% certain nobody would find evidence of their involvement, so they kept it open to keep up appearances? At any rate, this is just a conspiracy theory but my point is it doesn't mean "there's no way", unless there's definitive proof to prove that it was something else.
imagine: “quick guys! the charger is right there!” >yeti leaps out of the woods and russian dances yeti: “not so fast” >proceeds to roundhouse and suplex the members systematically >some run away and make a fire, some try to return to the tent and 4 are fucked hard and thrown into a ravine
You forgot to tell, that the tent had some kind of cooking stove in it, with an exhaust pipe going out of the tent which had to be removed once the cooking was done. Another youtuber by the name of LEMMiNO did an episode on Dyatlov pass (I highly engourage you to watch it!). He concludes that the stove may have reignited after the exhaust pipe was removed, filling the tent with smoke. The smoke would lead to the people slicing open the tent, and fleeing the scene barely dressed (as they would have been in their sleeping bags by that time) as well as the burned feet etc. Racing to the forest makes sense as the trees would give some natural shelter (they probably thought at first that the tent burnt down) and also provides fire wood to keep warm (as you pointed out). The three people with a little bit of winter clothing may have been sent to find some cave or something and fell to death, while the rest of the group tried to keep warm around the fire and eventually split in two subgroups, one to investigate the tent, the other to keep the fire burning, and both dying of hypothermia in the end. This sounds rather reasonable to me.
@@octowuss1888 I agree - if you are not panicking. But imagine waking up to the scream of a friend of yours, smelling smoke, seeing nothing... You slice open the tent and run as fast as you can (at least I would, I guess)
Octowuss But they couldn’t just stand next to the tent forever. If it was filled with smoke and burning, they couldn’t go back in, and their next best option would be to go to the woods where they are more protected from the elements and could find a cave or build a shelter with logs and sticks.
@@Jembonia they where experienced people. At the verry least one of them should be smart enough to run outside the tent and stop to think for a minute instead of just running off meaning certain death. Besides that if you see smoke everywhere you realize smoke is the danger so you run outside the tent in panick but then the direct danger is over and there is no reason left to panick? I think they are smart enough to know how dangerous the cold can be they would have know not to run off randomly meaning certain death.
lemmino's theory: the embers inside the tent's makeshift stove started a fire inside the tent. due to the smoke and fire, the hikers cut open the tent from the inside in a panic (also explains why they were improperly dressed), some of them were burned. they then proceed to go to the woods to gather resources and rebuild the camp. one member climbed a tree to try to spot the location of the camp. some time later they froze to death while some of the others were killed by avalanche, as they were found under 3 meters of snow and suffered car-crash like injuries - fractured skull, ribs and internal bleeding.
the problem with tthe sound theory inducing panic was the footprints found leading a mile away to the forest were found in a walking formation, so they werent running away, they walked. it makes the case even more strange :X
The leader of the group recalled all of the hikers corpses had a deep brown tan also another group of hikers 90kilometers 50m South of the incident reported seeing strange orange spheres in the sky to the north on the night of the incident Similar spheres were observed in Ivdel and adjacent areas continually during the period from February to March 1959, by various independent witnesses (including the meteorology service and the military). However, these sightings were not noted in the initial investigation in 1959, and these various independent witnesses only came forward years later.

It is clear that something caused the hikers to panic - so much so that they weren't even thinking straight.
Fear is the strongest emotion. But what could cause such fear, clearly something the hikers didn't understand at that moment - maybe something was approaching the tent, they knew.

So once they get them to the woods into safety they plan to go back to retrieve clothes and essential supplies but after the adrenaline rush and the temperature drop (some claimed it went from -22 to -40 during that fateful night) they aren't unable to make it back to the tent, going uphill not making things any easier, and die from hypothermia. The same happens to 2 of their friends back in the woods and they're stripped from their clothes and placed alongside each other, in a respectful manner that doesn't resemble the way the other corpses were found.
A good theory is that the Leader ( Igor) made a homemade fire he did do this and the burn marks in 2 of the corpses back this theory also the footprints show they were walking (this also makes sense as there was no immediate danger outside) hope i helped here is the link to the video ua-cam.com/video/Y8RigxxiilI/v-deo.html

He got carbon monoxide poisoning because one of them was using a stove to warm the tent and it didn't have any ventilation.

I don't understand how they could still find footprints and tracks after almost a month of snowfall, especially if it was enough to heavily cover the tent.
What if the investigators made the footprints to trick the Authorities.
Here in alaska you get prints that will dry into the layer that is dried and solidified by wind and then you have your top layer of powder and fresh snow that's more likely to just be blown around instead of freeze into the prints. Too dry to have any moisture to freeze on top of where they were walking.

Begs the question how many tents did they have and could point to a cover up theory for me... Think about it military experiments near buy and only some of the peoples clothing were radioactive..So they found something they shouldn't have went to bring it back and then... They were murdered in the retrieval process of whatever monstrosity they found up there...
there were actually a couple guys that went on that hike who worked at a nuclear plant so that was manly the reason why they checked for radiation
That's thrue my grand grandpa was Polish chemist that was dent there to find evidence of radiations ten y later he died for postradiation illness
The lanterns also contain radioactive isotopes so that could explain it.
And it wasn't enough to be fatal
Interesting how they didn't mention some of the bodies themselves were irradiated and had orange skin and grey hair.
@Josef Copernicus If I were attempting to make a statement with a body, I wouldn't leave the poor victim lying dead in a snow covered gully with no guarantee of ever seeing the light of day again.
Either way, her face was exposed to running stream water, and scavengers love going for the fleshy bits of humans. In this case, the eyes and the tongue are prime targets, as the water would keep them below freezing point and therefore accessible for such scavengers/microbes.

He's delusional. Take him to the infirmary.
I think lemino’s theory was the closest. His theory states that the stove they brought with them was leaking gas in the tent, so one of the campers cut vents in the tent. It got out of control so the ran. This also explains the burn marks and why they ran away to quickly with only what they could grab. The tree where some bodies were found also has a small amount of burn sticks, this explains why the branches from a tree were missing but only to a certain height and why they would stop under a tree, the two body’s found their likely gave up the few clothes they had to protect the other hikers, witch explains why other hikers had more clothes. The radiation could have been caused by 2 of the hikers working with radiation, witch might have spread from their work clothes to their other clothes. Realistically though no one theory can be proven beyond shadow if a doubt.
Yes but he mentions an avelanche, which clearly didn't happen
Wasn’t also the name of the official in the reactor of Chernobyl Dietloff ?
That theory covers pretty much everything except the high impact bone fractures. Not sure how you get those from a broken stove
And the fact that the stove was found disassembled, it wasn't used that day. Besides why would anyone run away as far as 1.5 km in a freezing cold conditions in this case?
This still doesn’t explain the picture found of someone following them
How come no one has made a horror movie about this? Just go with the scariest theory as an explanation and make a movie out of it
Edit: Guys read the replies before you make a reply yourself, I've already been told about the movie Devil's Pass no need to keep mentioning its name to me
There is a mockumentary about it... Called the dyatlov pass incident
There's also a game on Steam about it called Kholat.

Only 2 of the nine had radioactive marks on them. Both worked in nuclear power plants and were around it constantly. The dose of radioactivity on their clothes were very low. I bet you money thats where it came from.
If they worked at a nuclear power plant, they should indeed be radioactive too, not just their clothes.
More likely just them because you wouldn’t wear your hiking clothes in a nuclear plant right
They never mention that
A far point, but that doesn't explain why the army searched their belongings with a radiation detector.
@@eNoble-US - why ?
I agree with a theory made by lemmino. The furnace in the tent caught fire, so they decided to head down to the forest for shelter. The least dressed started a fire, while dyatlov and 2 others decided to head back to the camp for more supplies. All three died on the way over/back. With lack of supplies the
least dressed froze to death. The remaining three went farther into the forest for more shelter, but caused a mini-avalanche making them fall into a ravine, rendering them paralyzed/ unconscious, where they froze to death. The radiation was because they all worked in some kind of factory that worked with radioactive materials.
Hi.
what about the missing tongue? that part was disturbing for me.
@@intolerances686 The missing tongue is often the most looked at detail that leads nowhere, Lemmino says that it likely had been decayed by putrefaction or eaten by scavenger animals based on the autopsy reports. There isn't much to indicate what happened to it other than the stomach contents or nearby animals.
Seems probably.
I haven't watched the video. But wouldn't there be burn marks in the Tent

I got the book and was not let down. It gives you journal entries from the hikers, as well as an account from Yuri Yudin, the hiker that turned back. The author went to Russia and retraced their steps. Again, really good book if you’re interested in this mystery.

Since it was called dead mountain, perhaps ghost stories circulated around that particular area. They could've heard strange sounds panicked, and fled. It's happened before.

Hey! You were already dead by then!
Having read up on the case and seen the injuries from autopsies its actually very obviously murder and sadly violent torture. Bodies with u-shaped bruises that resemble the butt of a rifle, broken ribs, cracked skulls, signs of strangulation, evidence of eyes removed while still alive, 3rd degree burns, no tongue but the frozen mouth found closed, a camp fire that was purposely put out not burnt out, a tent that was made useless by cutting it, a strange photo of someone following them, and most obvious of all absolutely nobody would walk an hour from the tent in bed clothes unless armed men forced them to do it. To escape an avalanche that never even happened? or they all went crazy?.. seriously? If you look at their backgrounds, most likely at least one hiker was working as a nuclear agent giving up secrets to another side in a place that was comfortably remote (two hikers were recent nuke reactor employees, and all this was during the cold war with espionage at its highest). Why else would there be radioactivity detected in the middle of nowhere.
They were followed, searched for something important, and each tortured for information and then killed - whether by the russians, americans, or germans isn't known, but that's why it was covered up by the govt and all became a 'mystery'. Interesting that one of the hikers was left with a pencil and notebook in his hand - probably the killers leaving a warning message to the other side, but it got washed away. It was a terrible cold war incident, not to be made fun of.
What about the small tent? Or does that have nothing to do with it.
It's also true that the soviets were conducting some type of research in barron, arctic like areas. And they also had Intel on the Manhattan project while it was being conducted. The KGB was a thing around that time so it isn't unlikely they stumbled on something they shouldn't have knowing how secretive the soviets were.

I heard this great theory about Dyatlov Pass from LEMMINO's video. He believes their homemade stove caught fire, which would explain some of the burns on the bodies. They panicked from the smoke and cut a hole in the tent to escape. In order to survive in the middle of a storm, they headed to the woods where some of them tried to start a fire while others searched for help or supplies. Due to exposure they all died eventually in different places, either falling off a ravine, next to a river or next to the fire they tried to make. Check out his video.
that doesn't explain the radiation
Lemmino explained it all in his video...
@@kevinh9304 2 of them worked at a nuclear plant...
But why one of them had her eyes and limbs removed?
Same
After watching the video a few times and reading the comments for other theories I have created my own conclusion.
In the middle of the night a large explosion awakened the group. Panicked they stumbled out of their tent and ran. Since there were 9 of them and only one small opening some might have cut the tent in order to escape faster. They ran out into the night, running a large distance. Disoriented and not being able to see in the dark of night they could not locate their tent and soon realized that they would freeze to death if they did not find shelter, so they chose instead to head towards the edge of the forest. There a member of the group climbed the tree to see if they could spot the tent. Meanwhile the others below feebly tried to build a fire. This is when they split up, they knew if they stayed where they were, they would die. 2 of the group members went with the leader to try and return to the tent to bring back supplies or to find the path and return for the other 6. Those 3 died along the way back to the tent. Back at the makeshift campsite the other, now 4, hikers realized that the 3 that left were not going to return. They striped the 2 dead of their clothes and started heading deeper into the forest until they found the ravine. They built a makeshift snow shelter, which a short time later collapsed on top of them burying them under the snow. The woman’s face slowly decomposed over 3 months from the running water, that either had bacteria or small fish. The large explosion? A military test of a weapon that had radioactive elements in it.
This seems like the soundest plausible reason to me. It would explain the radioactive materials found on the bodies, the distance from the tent traveled, and the cause of death and mysterious injurys from the corpses.
I realize that there might be a few holes in my theory. I wish we could have known the spacing between footsteps to indicate whether they had been running for a long time or not. How much radiation was found on them? What position were the corpses were in? The smallest details can provide a lot of information.
TL:DR Panic, Confusion, Survival, Dead.
Edit: After more thinking, it’s possible that they knew how to travel back to their tent using their own footprints, so they instead stayed away from the tent out of fear of another explosion, using the tree to look for the previous blast/ any new ones / any missiles in the air. After deciding it was safe enough is when the 3 tried to travel back. This would also explain why they went almost a mile away, to avoid another blast.
Edit2: It seems more likely that there were multiple small blasts instead of one large one. That would explain why they waited so long to return to their tent.
Edit3: After reading more comments and thinking about it more, it is possible that the last 4 hikers didn't die under the impact of collapsing snow. It might have been possible that they fell in. At first I didn't think that it was possible because they would have had to all walk side by side and fall in at the same time, which is highly unlikely. It is possible that the first one fell, or stepped on the edge of the ravine causing a miniature avalanche that caused the other three to fall in, causing high pressure impacts and covering them in snow.
I feel this is very plausible, also because some died near a reveen, some could’ve fallen in through the darkness because of the injuries sustained...
Edit: Thats a great theory! I was thinking clothes were off the 2 because some people get realy hot when hypothermia kicks in, and start to strip down. And impact damage on the other 2 from the collapsed snow hut on them for 3 months. They made a snow hut that happend to collapse withing hours of the bombs. But what I dont get is why the tent us collapsed and half covered in snow, but you they were able to see tracks... if they could see the foot prints they probably would have seen missles holes or impact markings. Edit: no impact or missile holes becuase they could have been exploded above them. Edit: Also a strick Union or government? Edit: That long and you can still see the tracks still sounds fishy to me. Im an ice fisher and 1 day after I go out my tracks are gone with a light snow fall....
I think it could be explosives of some type. That would explain the internal damage. The vibrations of the explosions to be specific.
Jeled S I have been studying this mystery for quite some time now and all the theories and facts that I have gathered all fit into your theory. Even every little detail makes sense now. Great theory!

I think the "got hit by a small avalanche while sleeping" theory makes the most sense. It explains the badly damaged condition of the tent. It explains the blunt force trauma. It explains why the tent was cut open from the inside (the tent's entrance was blocked by snow so they cut through the only place they could). It explains why they were not wearing clothes (the avalanche made their clothes wet/frozen and unusable.) It also explains why they ran so far away from the camp towards the tree line (they wanted to escape a potential 2nd avalanche.) Their footprints were still visible because they ran out of the tent after the avalanche happened and a 2nd avalanche never came.

How did they find footprints if they were found a month later?
permafrost i guess
But there was a lot of snow on top of the tent?
Snow can fall on footprints without completely erasing them. Unless the original footprint is filled in there will be somewhat of a mark for some time.
They said there had been a snow drift which is why the tent was covered. Next
Searching group were accompanied by Mansi hunters who live by hunting on this snowy mountains. I guess they are great huntsman.
so.... if that guy didn't have knee and joint pain... HE WOULD HAVE DIED? LUCK. AMAZING
Or maybe his presence on the team may have caused them to pitch camp somewhere else and the disaster not happen?

My great grandpa had cancer, and committed suicide by taking a bottle of whiskey and wandered into the woods of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan in the winter. Anyone who knows how the UP in Michigan is, it's very very cold. He was found in nothing but his underwear. They said it was hypothermia, and a symptom of that is you start to "feel" hot and take your clothes off.

why do I have a strange feeling that the hikers died after arguing with each other and split into three groups while trying to sabotage each other using items they have packed for the trip
that is actually a theory that could explain everything. although i dont think the hikers would carry chemicals or brutally murder eachother, it is still very possible

He didnt evan need to make this video now you just uncoverd everything
And maybe it explains the radiation too :D
One plausible theory to why they slashed their tent, could have been smoke buildup from their stove. There is one picture showing one of the hikers with burnt clothing, probably from their stove. Meaning that it wasn't the best and most reliable stove.
But say one of them woke up to heavy smoke in the tent. Hard to breathe, pain in your eyes, pitch dark. The person wakes the others and basically just grabs the first sharp thing he/she can find to create an air vent. Imagine being asleep and to wake up to this. Grabbing your clothes or shoes, probably not the first thing you think of. You need air and quick!
And combine this with strong winds and snow, one can easily get disoriented and with inhalation of smoke which can cause confusion, decreased alertness, chest/eye pain and so on.
And when they all got outside, Mother Nature took care of the rest. Death resulting by hypothermia and some of them sustained injuries while the fell into the ravine.
But it's just a theory....
Just one flaw. Of the stove was left unattended, why didn't it burn down the tent?
@@Nimish204 Cuz smoke buildup in tent doesn`t make tent go up in flames. Stove theorie makes sence actually and has been explained before.
@@TheGranicd Makes sense but one fact I can't explain is why the the heck do they have radiation on their clothes and why did the soldiers even check. I had fall back on the bomb theory.
Nimish Apte there were 3 individual clothing items that had a small amount of radiation and they were worn by only two individuals both of which worked in places that dealt with plutonium. There is a better video out there that actually quotes the medical examiner and backed by research.
LEMMiNO also did a video on this case and support this theory, I suggest checking it out

@@lucash5025 sure have lol
@Zen their feet were burned on the campfire they made trying to get them warm again.
@@StarburstAttack I think they knew the ravine was there and figured the snow was deep enough to make a snow shelter. The dudes at the fire probably got separated from the rest. The leader which "appeared to be heading back to camp" was probably doing just that.
They actually just reopened this case for investigation, it's on google
Link?
Nothing has been reopened, it's a bullshit, the real case is still classified
it happened like many years ago, what can they get from opening it back again anyways, when some of the files are still kept hidden and they are allegedly limiting at this new investigation. unless they contact the hikers personally
Guys I'm just saying they reopened the case lol
The locals called the place Dead Mountain and barely went up there as there was no wildlife to hunt. Radiation was found on the clothes of several victims and the military shut the mountain off after the incident. These people were taken out by their own government for stumbling across something they should not have seen.
my thoughts. would explain why there were no other foorprints (they have the manpower to mask everything) except for i heard a searchparty found a military boot footprint near the tent. also baton-bruise on the girl and u-shaped bruise on somebody else (riflestock)

Einstein's last mission was to fill the area with radioactive material.
Russia opened a new investigation into the incident in 2019, and the conclusions were presented in July 2020: the investigation concluded that the cause of death was hypothermia due to a combination of an avalanche, forcing the group to leave their camp, combined with low visibility. Andrey Kuryakov, deputy head of the regional prosecutor's office, stated: “It was a heroic struggle. There was no panic. But they had no chance to save themselves under the circumstances.”[1]
Wait, didn’t one of the prior studies rule out a avalanche for several factors? How did they explain that?
doesnt explain the chemicals or missing limbs
Sounds like exactly what they would write knowing they killed them. “no chance of survival” “heroic struggle” “no panic”. From the comments I’ve seen about it being some Russian that did it to there own people
It's sad that all of them died in a mysterious way very sad
No one of them survive
"SAD!"

one of them survived
the guy that left they where 10 but 9 died
And yet no one mentioned that all of their clothes were covered in some yellow dust of unknown origin

@@Dylan-eb2xn Might have been a lost nuke that was leaking radiation
They also left out the custom made stove the group used, pictures of it's funnel can be seen in some of the photos the group took of the camp... some sort of explosion/failure or fire with this stove in the tent is one of the more popular theories and they didn't mention it at all

StonelyRock same no sleep for me
Google the actual picture of the woman.
I watched the actually documentary with the real footage and other stuff not showed here which leads to a theory of a yeti getting angry over the military training that was documented to have happened the night they died
@Bodger the Badger Wow imagine a grown man believing 9 hikers got killed by a yeti.
StonelyRock bro I read this exactly at 3:42am I’m spooped
They've found evidence it was due to a comparably small avalanche, they had until recently underestimated the topography of the area due to the amount of snow always on it, the angle of the hill is steep enough and with the snow fall/the fact they slightly dug out the area of snow to put the tent had probably lead to the smaller than normal avalanche. Although smaller, it still would have hit with enough force to kill them. Read an article about it a few days ago, can always look for it for more detail than I remembered here
How would an avalanche cause them to be found dead in the forest
You never know about Russia it’s a fantastic country whit beautiful nature but full of secrets
It was a government cover up I’m not be stereotypical but honestly the Soviet Union was very controversial at the time so ya

You are the down the hill guy! Give us back those girls!!!
Sounds legit.
You forgot to tell, that the tent had some kind of cooking stove in it, with an exhaust pipe going out of the tent which had to be removed once the cooking was done.
Another youtuber by the name of LEMMiNO did an episode on Dyatlov pass (I highly engourage you to watch it!). He concludes that the stove may have reignited after the exhaust pipe was removed, filling the tent with smoke. The smoke would lead to the people slicing open the tent, and fleeing the scene barely dressed (as they would have been in their sleeping bags by that time) as well as the burned feet etc. Racing to the forest makes sense as the trees would give some natural shelter (they probably thought at first that the tent burnt down) and also provides fire wood to keep warm (as you pointed out). The three people with a little bit of winter clothing may have been sent to find some cave or something and fell to death, while the rest of the group tried to keep warm around the fire and eventually split in two subgroups, one to investigate the tent, the other to keep the fire burning, and both dying of hypothermia in the end. This sounds rather reasonable to me.
Most people would get out of the tent and stand a few metres away from it. No need to rush off into distant woods.
@@octowuss1888 I agree - if you are not panicking. But imagine waking up to the scream of a friend of yours, smelling smoke, seeing nothing... You slice open the tent and run as fast as you can (at least I would, I guess)
Jembonia the stove was folded up in the tent when it was discovered
Octowuss But they couldn’t just stand next to the tent forever. If it was filled with smoke and burning, they couldn’t go back in, and their next best option would be to go to the woods where they are more protected from the elements and could find a cave or build a shelter with logs and sticks.
@@Jembonia they where experienced people. At the verry least one of them should be smart enough to run outside the tent and stop to think for a minute instead of just running off meaning certain death. Besides that if you see smoke everywhere you realize smoke is the danger so you run outside the tent in panick but then the direct danger is over and there is no reason left to panick? I think they are smart enough to know how dangerous the cold can be they would have know not to run off randomly meaning certain death.
lemmino's theory:
the embers inside the tent's makeshift stove started a fire inside the tent.
due to the smoke and fire, the hikers cut open the tent from the inside in a panic (also explains why they were improperly dressed), some of them were burned.
they then proceed to go to the woods to gather resources and rebuild the camp. one member climbed a tree to try to spot the location of the camp.
some time later they froze to death while some of the others were killed by avalanche, as they were found under 3 meters of snow and suffered car-crash like injuries - fractured skull, ribs and internal bleeding.

the problem with tthe sound theory inducing panic was the footprints found leading a mile away to the forest were found in a walking formation, so they werent running away, they walked. it makes the case even more strange :X
Maybe they were following another camper.
The leader of the group recalled all of the hikers corpses had a deep brown tan also another group of hikers 90kilometers 50m South of the incident reported seeing strange orange spheres in the sky to the north on the night of the incident
Similar spheres were observed in Ivdel and adjacent areas continually during the period from February to March 1959, by various independent witnesses (including the meteorology service and the military). However, these sightings were not noted in the initial investigation in 1959, and these various independent witnesses only came forward years later.
