Rheumatoid arthritis is bad enough in the hands, even worse in your joints and the pain is often times worse in the cold. Imagine trekking through deep snow hauling gear when your knees and shoulders ache. Yuri also had a heart murmur and that can lead to difficulty keeping pace if it were to act up. He probably thought he could tough it out at first but as they went further and further north and got more exposed to the elements he realized he'd be a hindrance to their progress and left. Poor lad, survivor's guilt ruined him in an era and a country where mental health wasn't taken very seriously.
Volts he passed away in 2013 and he claims that the soviet military was involved with the deaths. The deaths affected him severely mentally. He lived his life lonely being unmarried and without children. He might have been lucky he survived but he lost his life.
“The most appealing aspect of Kuryakov’s scenario is that the Dyatlov party’s actions no longer seem irrational. The snow slab, according to Greene, would probably have made loud cracks and rumbles as it fell across the tent, making an avalanche seem imminent. Kuryakov noted that although the skiers made an error in the placement of their tent, everything they did subsequently was textbook: they conducted an emergency evacuation to ground that would be safe from an avalanche, they took shelter in the woods, they started a fire, they dug a snow cave. Had they been less experienced, they might have remained near the tent, dug it out, and survived. But avalanches are by far the biggest risk in the mountains in winter, and the more experience you have, the more you fear them. The skiers’ expertise doomed them.”
It was certain death though since they didn't have enough clothing. You don't run away from one danger into a more certain slow death of freezing. No experienced person would do that. They would have grabbed what they could and put something on even if it meant an avalanche may be immanent. And they would stick together. What you're saying is like jumping out of a plane that you think might crash but not having a parachute. Nobody is going to do that. Plus they eventually walked away calmly. If they can walk away calmly and felt they had time to do that then they can grab some clothes and get dressed while heading to the trees. Maybe they were just too drunk and stoned from some drug and then heard an avalanche and all scattered though. I might buy that. You'd have to be pretty wasted though. Or it could be something crazy like a Russian helicopter was hovering above the tent and threatening them. Who knows. Your theory may have some merit but there are still too many actions not answered.
@@VROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM I find it kind of hard to believe that they walked away from the tent. Especially if they had half their clothes on and they cut a hole from the inside to get out. This is the first time I ever heard them walking away from the tent and not running away from it I don't know what story is true though
Yep that literally explains everything. I hate morons who believe in total nonsense so much. They see something they don’t understand and immediately attribute it to something paranormal. Just low iq idiots, who unfortunately always have the loudest voices.
@@magical8013 It literally said in the video that they walked calmly away from their tent. Though I do agree that it is weird, they would walk away with not much clothes instead of at least trying to get som kind of clothing on
You are a Russian physicist and have miraculously discovered how to travel in time. As your first experiment you decide to uncover the mystery of the Dyatlov Pass incident. You spawn inside the tent and realize it was your fault.
you know that when some people are exposed to extreme colds their brain starts thinking it‘s actually warm and then they start to take off all their clothes
Pro tip: when listening to spooky stories at night, DO NOT DRINK LOTS OF WATER. When you end up having to get up to go to the bathroom, you will be terrified that something is going to jump out of the darkness to kill you.
theres a lot in this video that is skewed and sometimes flat out wrong. this is the exact opposite of someone taking something ordinary like a plane in the sky and screaming UFO!! he has taken a LOT of HIGHLY unusual circumstances and played them down. this entire journey and the outcome is REALLY suspicious and very unusual and off the charts. This guy is trying to explain everything away like its all just simple stuff we didnt think of and it comes off sounding pompous and arrogant. These people were EXTREMELY smart and seasoned hikers. This wasnt their first try into the mountains and wilderness. finding them wearing little to nothing, slicing the tent open from the inside, missing tongue.. and if the eyeballs putrified why didnt anyone elses? im not saying its Bigfoot or ufos but then again im a mere mortal who doesnt really know. im not arrogant enough to proclaim that I know everything and as far as this case goes.... its very bizarre and frightening.
@@flipnap2112 I dont think its fair to say he tries to explain everything away, since he gives valid arguments for his beliefs. At the same time, he makes it very clear in his conclusion that it is what he believes to have happened after working with the case - he doesnt say that it is what actually MUST have happened. I agree with you that its a very bizarre and frightening tragedy, but i think the video shows great explanation regarding some of the various mysteries.
right before they die, victims of hypothermia tend to feel extremely hot, and in many cases they tend to take of their clothes in a last stroke of desperation. that could explain why some of them were severely under-dressed.
Yeah, it's called paradoxical undressing, but it's likely according to the maker that they were just underdressed as they came out of the tent when they were sleeping trying to escape the smoke/fire
There is an updated theory out now that makes alot more sense especially since the search team found the diy stove packed away. The only video I can find that mentions it is bedtime stories pt3 of dyatlov pass
it’s interesting that people used to journal and write like authors about their day, when if this happened today you know it’d be footage from someone’s snapchat saying “yooooo we out here”
>Buys time machine from Doc Brown >Goes back to 1959 >Approaches the tent to see what's going on >People inside think it's a wild animal and cut the tent open to get out fast >Gets attacked by the hikers, forced to kill them >Get back to the present.
Yeah exactly. I don't see this as some Bigfoot UFO whatever conspiracy, it's really just a sad tragic story of a group of young people who died horrible deaths
Short, to the point, objective, unbiased with an calming and pleasant narration voice with his amazing music he crea the d himself that perfectly matches and even amplifies the mysterious of the story. Lemmino is super talented. I come back to this quite often cause how good it is made.
In Österreich gilt dieses lächerliche Machwerk eines offensichtlichen Dummschwätzers als seriös? Was der hier tut, ist die Fakten seiner idiotischen Theorie anzupassen, anstatt umgekehrt. Spätestens ab "Conclusion" (12:33) fließt die Dünnschiss nur so in Strömen.
@@Speckkuh Ich habe keine Ahnung, weil das alles keinen Sinn ergibt. Je mehr Fakten bekannt werden, umso irrer wird das Ganze. Entweder wusste der KGB etwas und die Akten werden irgendwann freigegeben oder die Dyatlov-Gruppe hat dieses Mysterium mit ins Grab genommen. Mich kotzen nur diese Ich-hab-den-Fall-gelöst-Wichtigtuer an, die sich die Fakten zurechtbiegen, mal was weglassen oder dazuerfinden, nur damit sie zu ihrer schwachsinnigen Theorie passen. Nehmen wir als Beispiel diese Ofentheorie. 1. Laut Ermittlungsakten war der Ofen nicht in Betrieb, sondern stand auseinandergenommen und verpackt im Zelt. 2. Erfahrene Bergwanderer können problemlos ein Lagerfeuer anmachen und sich darauf eine Mahlzeit zubereiten. 3. Wenn außerhalb des Zeltes keine Gefahr bestand, warum latschen die dann saudumm, leicht bekleidet und bis auf 2 ohne Schuhe in die Landschaft um dort zu erfrieren und/oder sich bizarre Verletzungen zuzuziehen? Der Mythenmetzger hat eine ganze Serie gemacht und präsentiert eine gut recherchierte Sammlung von Fakten, ohne geisteskranke Theorien aufzustellen. Bisher das einzig Sehenswerte, was ich auf UA-cam zu dem Thema gefunden habe. Alles andere sind Videos von Dummschwätzern, wie dem Typen, der das hier verbrochen hat.
@Apfelsaft gut und günstig Kerwe kann auch anscheinend kein Englisch. Wenn er es könnte, hätte er mitbekommen wie Lemmino mehrmals "could've been" und "likely" sagt. Also nicht erzählt wie es war sondern wie es passiert sein KÖNNTE. Ich schwöre Deutsche haben so einen fetten Stock im Arsch manchmal.
No, they are just unsolved mysteries. I have yet to see any horror on youtube, and the closest thing to it is true crime, which I can binge on, But it doesn't phase me in the least bit. The only horror to me I guess would be people hurting animals or young children. I feel bad for human victims who are innocent, but most crime involves some fucked up back story involving some level of betrayal between the killers and the victims. The best true crime mysteries are when there is no apparent motive or the person has a warped sense of reality (psycho/sociopath) and we have to piece together the clues to figure out wtf happened.
As soon as you mentioned the knife and signs of cutting up the tent from the inside, my first thought was, "well, they fucked up the stove". In Swedish military service you use tents with stoves alot. And there is always one person awake watching the stove. Now the primary reason is for him to keep feeding wood to the stove, but it is also very important that person has a knife handy, because it is also that persons job to cut up the tent if fire starts being where it is not supposed to.
I would be so paranoid using a stove in a tent that is saving me from certain death. At the very least I would have a 2nd (non-stove) tent set up a few yards away as backup.
man wouldn't you just love to know how stuff like this actually happened. Just the ability to go back to this night and watch it unfold as it answers all of the questions, or being able to go back to London in the 1800s to see who Jack the Ripper was, and how he got away with it all. It's so damn interesting, the way that things appear to someone knowing only general details and/or facts, and the completely logical and sensible manner that they occurred. Like this, for example. LEMMiNO's explanation makes complete sense, and is probably what happened, but the radioactivity, the slashed tent and the calm footprints down the mountain make it so much more confusing to someone who is only told the facts about the case.
I agree full heartedly…I’d love to actually know and see with our actually being there…wow what an incredible and terrifying story! Read my comments and let me know what you think!
i mean same but also id just love to go back and see like. who first invented fire. who first used the wheel for transport. even if they didnt have names or language as we understand it at the time, it would be a fantastic photo for the history books...
@@rn55676 Oh I have no doubt you're absolutely correct, because most (if not all) inventions could be conceptualized similarly. I mean, look at the electric light bulb: The version we know of as "the first" was developed after hundreds of iterations, many by other people! But nonetheless, we do have a name and a face attached to "the lightbulb", and I personally think it would be fun to do the same with discoveries we might today consider "common knowledge" :D
Better than me. My conclusions were "Waluigi", "an orgy that heated up the tent so much because of friction that they left to keep fucking outside in seperate groups before dying of hypothermia" or "one of them yeeted the others out of the tent then fapped to death"
Scully: “nine campers went missing in the wilderness and were found like this.” Mulder: *tosses scully a file* “Ever heard of the Soviet body snatchers?”
i feel like the calm footsteps could've just been a sign that they were experienced and knew not to run down the mountain like crazy, even if they were panicked
@@truiteteam3428 i can see what you two are saying but if they are in barely any clothes and in deep snow in the middle of the night, running would give them a better chance at making it to the woods before getting too cold 🤷
No, it's common misconception due to several translation errors. In Russian it is "мертвая гора" which means "a mountain where nothing grows" or "mountain with dead surface", but some people wrote it down as "гора мертвецов" - "mountain of dead men". The reason why they did might be a problem with translating from native tribes languages, which are not easy to learn. That's where this myth comes from.
People saying the guy who was sick was lucky he didn't go with them, but also, imagine if he did go? One different word, or decision, from him could have totally changed the whole outcome. They might have stopped at a different location, or he might have said _"be careful with the stove"_ or a hundred different things could have happened.
@@JoeBob79569 He ended up being fucked from the incident too. Had mental problems his whole life, did never find a partner to marry and died without having any kids.
Right? When he was saying that I was thinking, "wow, smart guys, so experienced and all, setting up camp in the most exposed area they could find, makes sense, gee, wonder how this will end lol".
? The last photos showed the lack of visibility, and if the animated map is to be believe they crossed to a different side of the mountain than they used to climb upwards
In light of all the speculation surrounding what happened at Dyatlov Pass, the only survivor, Yuri Yudin, was often asked what he thought happened to his companions. He maintained until his death in 2013 that the Soviet military had to be involved in the deaths. Yudin believed his friends stumbled across a military exercise and that the Soviet government bore responsibility for the loss of his companions. He said that all his companions were expert hikers and skiers and were well equipped to handle natural phenomena like avalanches or snowstorms. Yudin noted that after searchers found the campsite, the military was more concerned with what the skiers were doing in the area, not what had happened to them. After searchers found the hikers, Yudin was asked to identify the items collected at the campsite. Yudin said some items did not belong to his fellow hikers, including glasses, a pair of skis, fragments of a ski, and a piece of cloth he identified as part of a soldier's coat. In a journal that Yudin kept all his research of the event in, which came to light after his death, Yudin referred to "soldiers' tape" and wrote he was confident it was among the items he was asked to identify. Yudin claims in his journal that he tried to bring this to the colonel's attention who was with him at the time, but he ignored it. Yudin speculated that before the official search found the hikers' campsite, the military had already been there and pointed to these items as proof. Yudin also posed the rhetorical question: if something as mundane as an avalanche caused the death of his friends, why did the government close the case so quickly and mark it as classified? Yudin also noted in his journal that there was one factor at the site of his friends' deaths that none of the "normal" suggestions could explain: the mild radioactivity of the clothes and bodies of the deceased hikers.
Yudin was not there and could not explain the incident, for all we know he's full of shit and was trying to sell a story I'm tired of this stupid trope "mystery happened in the Soviet Union, the commies clearly did it because they evil", and I'm tired of stupid conspiracy theories made up on the internet Also Lemmino explained the mild radioactivity on their clothes, they were workers in nuclear power plants, do yeah Yudin was full of shit
I know its kinda too late for response but the radioactive clothes belonged to two of these hikers who have worked on jobs that involved nuclear stuff so that can explain radioactivness
@@swgwav thats what popped into my mind straight away. The fact that only three items of clothing (not necessarily belonging to three different people) had radioactivity suggests that it was most likely picked up elsewhere. Considering they went to a technical institute and as you say studied nuclear decomposition and materials I think it is more likely the clothes picked up the radioactivity there. If it had been something that happened in this incident, it is likely other radioactive materials would have been found, either on many more of the clothes or on the bodies. While the Soviet military did some dubious things, I just don’t see any evidence (barring the radioactivity that I think this is the most appropriate reason for) of their involvement; it is much more likely Yudin either personally disliked the military or wanted to gain more attention and so tried to suggest new theories or perhaps even make up more sensational “factors”.
@@MiloMcCarthyMusic I mean, the ones who fell the 3 meter fall, the ones coming back and the ones frozen around the campfire died different deaths. They may not have known whether the rest were dead or not at the time they themselves died.
One possibility I didn't hear (or didn't notice if you did mention it)...carbon monoxide poisoning from the stove. Could cause irrational behavior like not being dressed appropriately.
I thought the same thing, however if i'm not mistaken Co1 intoxication is dangerous precisely because it kills you without even noticing, which makes a panick attack unlikely in my opinion
Carbon Monoxide takes a while to kill you and even cause damage and has to be in extremely high amounts for an extended period of time. Having a fire in a contained space for even a few minutes wouldn't really do any damage nor affect anyone from carbon monoxide, especially because there were holes in the tent and thus the carbon monoxide would have been vented, smoke doesn't vent as easily though.
MagicCookie but we're not talking about carbon monoxide "killing you", were talking about it negatively affecting your judgment, e.g. it takes X amount of alcohol to kill you, but not much to change your actions and behavior. I'm not saying it WAS carbon monoxide, just throwing it out there as a possibility.
500 videos on UA-cam about this event that look for all sorts of rare, incredible explanations like UFOs, and skyquakes. "It was probably just a fire in the tent followed by further unfortunate events." - Lemmino, the best channel on UA-cam.
What he doesn't mention is that hikers in extreme freezing climates like this often die underdressed, because of a phenomenon where one, under extremely cold circumstances, starts to feel extremely hot, and often falls into the trap of taking off clothing to cool down, and, as a result, killing themselves, rather quickly.
Wheatley finally, ive been thinking about this a lot. I thought by my illogical stupid brain that THAT was what hypothermia is, of course i knew it was dumb lol
They took the clothes off their dead friends, they built a fire, and they built a snow den. They were very aware of the danger they were in and they left the tent partially dressed. Who the hell undresses to go to bed in one of the most forsaken places on the planet and in subzero temperatures?
I often think of this case when I'm tucked up warm in bed wondering how cold they must of been knowing they can't just walk home. So isolated so cold. What a way to go
Interesting. I looked into this about five years ago. My memories are these: 1) Likely an avalanche. Even a two or three foot covering causing the collapse of part of the tent might be enough to cause one or more to cut the tent to escape and there were many knives in their possession. Additionally, I may be seeing things but if you look beyond the tent (100, 200 feet?) and down the hill there may be evidence of the washout of an avalanche. A line where there is heavy snow and then less snow. 2) The slow walk could be caused by dread. They knew there was little shelter remaining in the tent, and they realized that the tent needn't have been cut for them to have escaped. 3) I believe that you are correct about the tree being used in an effort to locate the tent, and further I believe that it may also have been used to direct some of the party back in the direction of the tent. I believe the fire was started there to light the person in the tree to make them more visible from a distance. It would make no sense to start a fire in that location for heat because there were less exposed areas around them that would have provided more windbreak. 4) I believe the bodies in the creek were actually macerated by the melting of ice by flowing water and the subsequent collapse of ice and snow as the mass was no longer sufficiently supported from below. I believe that this could have happened several times before the bodies were located. 5) I believe the "massive blood loss" prior to death was not really evidenced in the autopsy. I believe it was an assumption based on the "injuries" suffered by the three when in fact the damage to the bodies was caused after their death. There were many other things that I can't recall now, and there dozens more that I could address but this isn't likely to be read anyway. Good luck!
From your own findings, what’s the typical reason for the abnormal radiation levels? Are they actually noticeably abnormal or just slightly which could be attributed to any number of things? And the ones missing almost all their clothes, were these clothes found? did the other take them for themselves once they realised they were dead either way? Or were these never recovered. As for the avalanche, it seems possible but couldn’t the evidence have happened in the period after their death but before they were found? As I feel cutting the tent from the inside to get out implies a swift exit, then to slowly trundle down the mountain with none of their stuff doesn’t add to me, keen to see what you think if you’re still around a year later
@@AceGlitchBuster Still here. As far as the radioactive material is concerned, clothing in the water could have worked like a seine and gathered it like the riffles in a chute that gold prospectors use. There was a LOT of radioactive material dispersed by bomb testing and a lot of it would likely end up in creeks. There also may have been contamination and cross contamination in the evidence. There seems to be a lot of reliance upon the investigation but none of it was controlled in any way, and it was very sloppy. There were a lot of radiation detectors spread all over Russia back then (and likely still) so that's probably why the bodies were checked for radiation. Often times, if you look for something, you find it, the question then becomes, does it have any bearing? Can you imagine a found body in the wilderness being checked for radiation today? Not likely unless there was a detector in the hands of someone in close proximity with not much else to do, and if they detected radiation, it would have been ignored. Were hikers that had traveled for a week in snow and ice routinely checked for radiation back then? Probably not. It's possible that if they had been checked they might have found that it was common to find radioactive material on all hikers returning from that area. Yes, I think clothes were taken as people died. I would have taken some too. It's important to remember that people back then had very little, and there a lot of them at the site. It's hard for me to think too much about anything that's supposedly missing. Something like quality warm clothes would have been a pretty natural thing for a searcher to just put on and not report. If the evidence for the avalanche was left after their deaths but before the search, at the very least it would be evidence that it was possible. Regarding their trek down from the tent, if a semi collapsed tent was covered and infiltrated in three feet of tumbled snow it would have been very difficult to find anything that they were actually looking for. Almost no one goes through anything like this so they weren't mentally prepared for the magnitude of their mistake. Bitterly cold and the futility of it all. If they were like me they probably would have headed for the woods, and figured they had at most a 5% chance of a very painful survival or a 95% chance of freezing to death. Of course these are all just guesses. I'm glad it wasn't me.
The radioactive thing. It could also be from the "radium" or similar from what I would expect to be inside the compass they used. I believe it was used on models after 1917 to illuminate the dials. It's not like the glow in the dark stuff we have now, this lasted 20-50 years illuminated. I was British Army, a navigation and map reading instructor during my time. I know the stuff they used in the high-grade compass which they likely used would have been crazy radioactive. Even on modern variants, if one breaks, you don't want to be anywhere near that thing. Not saying it sent them crazy. But a quick exit from a Tent, in the night, in the snow, broken compass. They had gone down the hill... but from the looks of it, the "wrong" down, by which point they was lost, cold and .... f*ck'd. Bright lights in the sky? Turn a 3v simple LED on in a desert, walk 5 miles and look back at that LED, you will be surprised. Add this story with a now broken compass, illuminating on the side of a mountain with kids messing around with it. It would look like something strange in the night.
Tidal Wave falling, and the avalanche, i think that that one checks out, and the eyes and tongue are the first things to decompose, I don’t think it’s suspicious
Vale Conti why didnt the eyes and tongues of all the bodies decompose? only one of them was missing her tongue, and reports state that it appears to have been ripped out from the root of it. they also state that she was alive when it happened due to the blood levels in her stomach. also, many of the bodies had burn injuries on them. one body also had bruising on his knuckles, as if he was fighting someone. the first 2 bodies that were found were missing skin on their hands because of how quickly they attempted to climb a tree, presumably to escape something. please explain all of these “not suspicious” injuries
@@yooooo8600 plus the fact that the eyes and tongue or the body in general should be semi preserved when its in a cold area/place. And i disagree to the people saying that it was an accident that she bit off her tongue, it said that it was ripped off at the root so she must have been purposely sticking her tongue out if that was the case. And yes the LED theory can be applied but it doesnt make sense because they stated that it was strange lights "in the sky".
The scariest thing is they preferred to run away from their camp to the unknown in the middle of nowhere in cold winter night. Something must be really scared them
Fear of an avalanche. For expert hikers, they knew an avalanche meant death. Signs of avalance would make then escape into the forest, since their main priority was staying alive for the time being. As for why they walked - in the middle of the night, with super freezing temperatures, the risk of aggravating an avalance and risk of losing sight of your comrades, are you seriously going to run?
I agree with the narrator, a missing tongue isn't that big of a deal. I mean, people's tongues fly out of their mouths and disappear all the time - it's very common.
a sudden blast or something of the like could have caused her to bite her own tongue. She may have been alive for some time after swallowing some blood which would account for her stomach contents. Or, I believe she was believed to be the outspoken, cranky, communist of the group. It fits that she'd be the one to have her tongue removed for not taking shit from KGB agents. haha
Damn, this is just depressing. I cant even imagine how terrified they were, stumbling in the cold wilderness. And the last 2 hikers at the fire, sitting in the cold dark forrest at a tiny fire knowing that your friends are now corpses laying in the snow. Well i guess im adding long hikes to my list of fears.
idk its just all so... odd? they cut themselves out of the tent and all ended up in different directions - the tree apparently having been damaged as well... its just creepy to me lol
What a heartbreaking story! I am sad for these people whom lost their lives here especially in a mode of panic and fear being so far outside of helps reach.
I like to think that at subzero temperatures, a storm, and not enough clothing, your body would have a tough time going into full running motion. So they'd leave behind seemingly calm footprints.
@@JahBillabong Not to mention, if you're going downhill in the midst of high winds with low visibility, running would be a dangerous idea. You could trip on something and fall to a hard and cold death, which could have happened to those fatally-injured victims found in the snow.
I remember one paranormal case in my life. I was a young boy and was ill. An old woman was a worker in the school, she remarked that I am ill and said me to close my eyes. She passed with her hands near my body, but didn't touched me. After that I immediately got much better. I didn't realize what happened and just said "Thank you!". So, maybe this old woman was a real "witch" (I don't know, but maybe she had been from the Old Believers (subethnicity of Russians). Why not something paranormal happened to the group of hikers ? Maybe hallucinations? I have read stories that sometimes a ghost can come to you, looking like your friend and ask you to follow it. And you will follow it without thoughts. The only way to wake up of such nightmare is to directly ask the ghost "Where are we going?". After that you wake up and find out that you are somewhere far away from the place where you had been before.
Explaining the radioactive clothes: "yeah one worked at a nuclear powerplant and one worked on a top secret plutonium-" Oh yeah makes sense i gue- wait WHAT
@@MaximusAdonicus my point was that these 'hikers' worked with goverment restricted radioactive materials Like. We're just gonna gloss over that fact? Im not implying they were assassinated but... It makes you think...
@@gojicandle8188 It just says their clothes were radioactive, doesn't necessarily mean they were killed by it. He also stated they were killed by hypothermia.
@@chadcarl7554 The point i was making is the fact they were radioactive in the first place, like, i havent said they died from it, it was simply the unceremonious way that it was revealed they worked on top secret (at the time) projects and worked with radioactive materials that caught my attention and i found it humorous. It read to me like: "Hiking etc etc, snow, cold, they was smoke and fire evidence all normal etc by the way top secret military projects, anyway, footsteps etc... It was like, oh, so, no need to explain that one lmao.
The blood around their mouth in my opinion was more likely from the cold. As the lungs gets too cold and they become harder to contract and expand it can cause bleeding, especially if one is exerting themselves. This doesn’t necessarily take away from your fire theory however. I just wanted to point this out. However if anyone has any other thoughts or I’m incorrect please feel free to let me know :)
This case has always interested me and I've seen a couple videos/documentaries on it before, but I've never seen the actual photos recovered from the trip. Odd how no one else thought to include those, thank you for adding them in!
A LOT of people seem to be highly focused on the missing eyes/tongue. The incident occured on the night of February 2nd, but Dubinina's body was only found May 4th (91 days later), apparently face down in a small stream. Since she was further away and found with clothes belonging to others, my theory would be that she was the last to survive, and simply lost consciousness attempting to drink from the stream. By that point, the incident would've been hours prior to her death, leaving her tired, cold, hungry, and most importantly, thirsty. If she indeed was found with her face submerged in a current, it is perhaps the only body part out of all the hikers that did not freeze over and therefore decomposed to a degree. The eyes and tongue very well could've decomposed and/or were possible eaten away by some bacteria in the stream. It is also important to note in this case that most Anglophones researching it have access to translated material from its original language, sometimes small details or the writer's intent can get lost in translation, especially a slightly older case like this one.
There is no reason to assume that the position she was found in was the position that she died in. She was probably on the shelf with the others but changed position as the stream melted the snow. The eyes and tongue were eaten by animals. Small predators always go for that stuff first and most bodies laying around in the wilderness get munched on. Nothing unusual at all about it.
...that's because they don't know what else to focus on=) Drink from a stream when it's below 30 decrease? You know those will be frozen right? In deep ice with no way of getting to without tools. No she was'n't found because of the weather condition. Her body and footprints were covered in snow so how would they know where to search? Yea, the translation is not the problem. People are just as ignorant today as they were back then no matter how they write or in what. And I don't know why you are so accurate with the dates...who cares what day it is ? This has no importance what so ever.
They acted crazy because they got hypothermia. We’ve seen it a thousand times u fruit loops. Or someone farted so bad they went mental either way it was definitely a code brown situation exacerbated by the fact that they had no wifi
the eyes and tongue are also some of the first organs to be eaten by scavengers, especially fridged environments, where other parts of the body might be too damaged and hardened by being frozen to easily eat
We need more channels like lemmino, his video quality is top tier, the way he gets me into the video is phenomenal, its just a 17 minute movie made to perfection. I have been following since the top10memes days and i always find myself coming back and rewatching your videos after some time.
@@bonniehowell4259 The only think that make everything impossible to figure out is the calm walking in the snow.... if there was running, then it could be explained by those low freq sounds that can happen in mountains (though extremely rare) or a military experiment with low freq sounds. Or maybe even parachute mine bombs. But they walking calmly throw everything into the air. Maybe they did not walk and that's a lie or not true. I don't know.
Not really, while he did survive, he lost his best friends, and all because he was "lucky" and got sick. I can only imagine the survivors guilt he felt.
They may be all reunited now. Yuri Yudin died 29.03.13 aged 75. Perhaps he will finally be able to ask his buddies what happened that night. Few sensible explanations make much sense.
DAMN KEEP IT COMING DUDE. THAT WAS A GREAT DOCUMENTARY. YOUR VOICE, IS GREAT FOR IT, AND I LIKE THAT YOU DIDNT OVERSENSATIONALIZE BUT IT WAS STILL VERY INTERESTING.

Yuri Yudin, the one that left the group, said in an interview that he had to identify the belongings from his friends. But he failed to match a pair of clothing (different from the hikers clothing), glasses, pair of skis. Leading him to suspect that the military found the tent before the recuers
i doubt a friend would know their mates entire wardrobe , especially hiking gear which was probably bought new and you dont typically see people wearing
@@lukebater-watson1781 most Soviet clothing was identical (no different brands, so differences in clothing mostly from region to region), so it's strange for him to not recognise the clothing, except if it was bought after he left (not very probable), or in another place all together, which isn't likely either since they were friends and lived in the same region. And the glasses and the pair of skis are very distinctive in general and you certainly know which belong to whom after traveling with their owners for days and days.
@@m.m.1301 This isn't remembering wrong, it's not being able to place it, he doesn't have to remember who it belonged to, just that he's seen it before - which he hadn't - and since he was so close with everyone and they were all very experienced for him to not recognize glasses and skis seems odd, especially if you just use the process of elimination, but I don't have enough information. Also, Occam's Razor isn't about plausibility, it's abiut the simplest answer, which shouldn't be used in criminal investigations as the simplest answer often isn't correct as criminals are trying to hide, so they go to lengths to cover their tracks and thus make the answer complicated. Occam's Razor is only good for simple scenarios or ones where there is a abundance of information and you're deducting, not creating an answer. For example, is this person lying? Well look at what they said and what evidence you have and find the simplest *amd most probable* solution. Trying to solve a bank heist? Well Occam's Razor would say somone from the bank had a key and walked in... but that's probably not the case.
Its just, really simply, sad seeing their warm smiles and hugging as they parted ways with their friend. Not knowing what will happen. These were just normal good people it seems like. Which just makes it really horrible to think those happy people died in such an awful way.
A couple questions that have been on my mind.... 1) Where did you get the information that they were intoxicated? Everything that I've read said there was no conclusive evidence they were intoxicated or had brought alcohol on the trip. All were known to be experienced professional outdoorsman, and it seems unlikely they would have brought extra weight in the form of alcohol. Invesitgator Eichar states that it is "highly implausible. By all indications, the group was largely harmonious and sexual tension was confined to platonic flirtation and crushes. There were no drugs present and the only alcohol was a small flask of medicinal alcohol, found intact at the scene. The group had even sworn off cigarettes for the expedition." 2) While the radioactivity theory is certainly a plausible explanation, *I'm still mystified as to why authorities would check for radiation in the first place.* I've been a cop in the US for 13 years...why on earth would rescuers searching for missing hikers bring radiation detection equipment to such a remote location? Radiation detection is a highly technical field requiring expensive equipment, specially trained personnel, and additional logistical capability. Seems rather bizarre. 3) One of the most famous photos of this incident shows the hikers tent, damaged in the snow. The tent is very small and looks like it could barely hold half of the 9 hikers. Where was the other tent? 4) After the investigation was complete, the pass and several miles around the camp site was seized as government property, and entry was forbidden, similar style to Area 51 restrictions in the United States. Why? 5) Several independent agencies in the USSR tried to re open the case to investigate further, and were discouraged from doing so by the KGB. Evgeny Okishev (Deputy Head of the Investigative Department of the Sverdlovsk Oblast Prosecution Office), was still alive in 2015 and had given an interview to former Kemerovo prosecutor Leonid Proshkin in which Okishev stated that he was arranging another trip to the Pass to fully investigate the strange deaths of the last four bodies when Deputy Prosecutor General Urakov arrived from Moscow and ordered the case shut down. 6) I get that they may have been scared from a possible fire, but being an experienced hiker, why cut the tent? If there is light from the fire I would imagine it would easier to leave out of the flap then to cut the tent. From what I have read, the only hikers with the burn marks were the ones that had set up the campfire...none of the other hikers had burns. 7) Physical exertion in that extreme cold can cause pneumonia, which in turn can cause you to cough up blood. When you breathe in cold air, your lungs humidify it and heat it as it goes into your body. If you’re outside in cold weather, you’re putting a large amount of cold air in your lungs. This causes your airways to become narrow and irritated by the cold, while at the same time trying to do their job of warming and humidifying as quickly as possible. 8) Authorities concluded an avalanche or fear of avalanche to be unlikely. The hikers were all experienced, and would have known to not set up in an avalanche zone. The topography of the area does not support an avalanche, and no prior avalanches had ever been recorded. The location of the tent near the ridge was found to be too close to the spur of the ridge for any significant build-up of snow to cause an avalanche. Furthermore, the prevailing wind blowing over the ridge had the effect of blowing snow away from the edge of the ridge on the side where the tent was. This further reduced any build-up of snow to cause an avalanche. This aspect of the lack of snow on the top and near the top of the ridge was pointed out by Sergey Sogrin in 2010 9) Others in the group appear to have acquired additional clothing (from those who had already died), which suggests that they were of a sound enough mind to try to add layers.
Nice attempt... your questions seem quite rational... Maybe it's another government top secret that they don't want to reveal... Maybe there were UFO's and hence case was shut down as happened in the US..... Only giving bizzare conclusions in reports for public... SMH
Description said his translation was off, alcohol played no part. Also, my biggest thing as an experienced hiker/survivalist if you will, is, what kind of "extremely experienced"campers set up camp at the most exposed area they could possibly find? Thats my biggest red flag. Who on EARTH would ok pitching a tent on the side of a barren mountain voluntarily? Especially when the woods/cliff/embankment is a couple yards away?
the reason they searched for radioation was probably a broken compass, back then they put radium on it to make it glow, if they broke it’d be pretty radioactive.
@@antonistich9316 the amount of radium in a compass is so small, it's trace amounts. Radiation detection equipment, especially of that era, was and is not nearly sensitive enough for that search method to be effective.
I remember one paranormal case in my life. I was a young boy and was ill. An old woman was a worker in the school, she remarked that I am ill and said me to close my eyes. She passed with her hands near my body, but didn't touched me. After that I immediately got much better. I didn't realize what happened and just said "Thank you!". So, maybe this old woman was a real "witch" (I don't know, but maybe she had been from the Old Believers (subethnicity of Russians). Why not something paranormal happened to the group of hikers ? Maybe hallucinations? I have read stories that sometimes a ghost can come to you, looking like your friend and ask you to follow it. And you will follow it without thoughts. The only way to wake up of such nightmare is to directly ask the ghost "Where are we going?". After that you wake up and find out that you are somewhere far away from the place where you had been before.
@@paulprochan8853 I have heard some similar stories when I was camping on tropical jungle. My senior said if you get lost and see a seemingly fire place from a far, Don't go near there because it's just an evil sipirit in guise
*_"The cause of death was an unknown compelling force which the hikers were unable to overcome."_* I think it wasn't the galactic empire, it was something else much more terrifying than silly mercenaries missing every laser shot they fire.
If the tent suddenly filled up with smoke it would be incredibly difficult to actually see in order to open the doors of the tent. My guess is that there was a zipper or some other kind of seal on the door that they either couldn't find in the smoke or was stuck shut and they decided that rather than all try and wait to open the door they just cut their way out in a panic. It's also somewhat possible that all the smoke inhalation would disrupt oxygen flow to the brain and mess with their reasoning.
POV: You’re walking on Dyatlov Pass. You see a grey rocky object on the ground You think you see graphite on the ground You didn’t see Graphite on the ground You didn’t Cause it’s not there.
Dead Mountain was a very good book on this subject, the author states that he tracked down the remaining staff who examined the bodies to interview them himself and seemed to put in a lot of legwork. Uphill from their campsite was a natural rock formation nicknamed "boot rock" due to it's shape, the book goes into detail, including talking to experts on infrasound, physics and meteorology, about how the area's high-force winds crest the mountain top and flow around boot rock to cause an infrasound "vortex" on the downward slope right where the party set up their tent. Infrasound waves can apparently cause anomalous vibrations and pressure in the chest making it hard to breathe and on top of that in roughly 25% of people it can cause nausea, irrational feelings of dread and other adverse psychological effects. In addition to that direct effect upon the occupants of the tent, one of the scientists states that in addition to sounding really freaky, the position the tent was in was a prime location for the vortex to amplify the wind so much that it would've felt like a freight train was passing just yards from them. Place a close-knit group of people in a tent. They're all scared by a continuous loud noise outside their tent that they've never heard before, having trouble breathing or even thinking straight. They're not sure exactly where they are (they knew enough to know that they weren't where they wanted to be which is why they stopped and camped to wait until morning) and all they can see outside their tent is the pitch black night and white whipping snow. In that situation where panicking is a very real possibility all it takes is for a number of the group to fall into that 25% of people who suffer increased effects of infra soundwaves, or even just the leader, to be tipped over the edge into blind panic where the only animal imperative is to get out of that situation and then you can easily end up with a cut-open tent, experienced people acting out of sorts and a lost expedition. The footprints indicating that the group walked away are an absolute red herring: you can't have over two weeks pass in a snowbound area and not have the footprints be filled in by drifting snow or snow driven by the wind. Any prints found would be far more shallow than they would've been originally. The hikers found battered horrendously had fled through the snow ahead of the rest of the group and blindly fell into the ravine to their fate upon the rocky riverbed of the stream that created that ravine. I've seen pictures of that location in the summertime and it's a nice, green wooded area with gentle slopes (if the pictures are accurate). However at that time of year the stream was yet to freeze and snow had built up around it into high banks due to the trees lining the stream. Snow doesn't settle on moving water so what should've been a consistent snowscape actually had a ravine carved through it thanks to the moving water which froze around the bodies after the event, allowing snow to settle and cover them which is why they weren't found until much later. Their injuries were consistent with a lethally hard impact from a fall and in the dark a small number of people running in close proximity can very easily all blunder into the same hazard without warning. I find this incident to be tragic but fascinating and the book put a lot of it to rest for me and made a lot of sense.
"Radiation-related tests. The radiation that had been detected on the hikers’ clothes is largely responsible for the idea that some weapon, potentially nuclear in nature, had exploded above or near the campsite and had forced the hikers from their tent-causing injury and affecting their vision. After the autopsies, two sets of the hikers’ clothes tested two to three times higher than normal for radiation. I submitted these test results to Dr. Christopher Straus, associate professor of radiology at the University of Chicago Medical Center to find out if the original verdict would hold up. Dr. Straus was able to determine, upon first glance, that by today’s scientific understanding of radiation levels, the beta particle decays cited in the criminal case for the hikers’ clothing were nowhere near an abnormal range. They would have had to be 50 to 100 times the level detected to reach dangerous or alarmingly abnormal levels of radiation. The slight positive result in the hikers’ clothing could easily be explained by environmental contaminants-for example, radiation from nuclear tests conducted that winter on the islands of Novaya Zemlya, 850 miles to the north of the hikers’ location, could have found its way to the northern Urals through the atmosphere and water cycle.” TL;DR: By today's standards the level of rads recorded were above what would be expected but not alarmingly so.
Your theory does make a lot of sense. There is no alien or really out of the ordinary thing just the hikers found threat in the tent and tried escaping but eventually got in more trouble once they were outside in the middle of nowhere
I just read the book "Dead Mountain", by Donnie Eichar. The book says that the stove had not been assembled that evening. The book also says that the hikers only took medicinal alcohol with them, and the flask was found unused. I won't say what the author's theory is, in case anyone wants to read the book. I highly recommend it.
Lemmino does say the stove was found disassembled, and he did include that in his theory. He said the embers in the dissembled stove could of started smoking and burn an item near the stove, such as clothing, causing a fire. This fire would start as unnoticeable smoldering and fill the tent with smoke and carbon monoxide, and once the fire was noticeable, they liked doused it, realized there was too much smoke, and got out before succumbing to sleep.
Jesus, imagine being in a situation like this. Dying from hypothermia, burning and inflicting self harm on yourself just to stay awake because you know that if you slip up and go to sleep, you would die. Scary stuff man.
@@averageharambelover3541 You people are unsettlingly comfortable with irreverent, hateful speech. Pretty evil stuff. Respect others' faith even if you have none.
Every upload I have seen about the Dyatlov Pass , has different evidence , you say the calmly walked away from the tent, others say they ran, still more say the broke into three separate groups and ran. All I can say is what ever happen, they deemed it to be more life threatening than hypothermia.
Overall the general consensus of the investigators regarding the footprints was that 8-9 footprints show that members of the group walked in single file with a tall man walking in the back. His footprints partially covered the footprints of his friends who walked in front of him. Overall the path gave an impression of an organized and uneventful descent down the slope of the mountain. Several trails would deviate from the general direction, but then rejoin the group. At least one pair had shoes - all the rest were either barefoot or in socks or valenki (felt boot that are commonly used). There are really no reports of the footprints found around the tent. The first footprints were found several meters down the hill and disappeared when they entered the wooded area.
When the tent was found, the searchers were only thinking of finding the hikers. To them, it made sense that the hikers were still alive and so very little attempt was made to preserve evidence at the tent. Most of the actions of the hikers from that night can be explained. There are still weird things like why one (or more) of them climbed the tree to look back at the tent? Why, seemingly 3 other searchers stumbled on the tent 2 days earlier, but didn't report it until much later? Why they left the fire they had built at the cedar? Did the three found returning to the tent make it to the cedar or did they turn around sooner and where were they in relation to the footprints? What happened at the ravine? Why did the 4 at the ravine dig a snow cave, but not use it? Etc.... But the biggest mystery is what made them flee the tent in such a panic only to, then, simply walk a mile down the hill in socks and bare feet? Investigators that were originally assigned the case back in 1959 still have little to no idea what forced them out of the tent. None of them concluded it was a fire in the tent, so it's funny when people come along and, after a few hours research, ignore basic facts and conclude something that none of the original investigators even considered. If you go through all of the witness testimony, none of it mentions the stove other than it was found disassembled and still in its case.
There was another video (from the Bedtime Stories channel, I believe) that gave the most fitting theory I’ve heard. When you’re on these snowy mountaintops there is a weather anomaly that can occur that causes intense downward winds to strike the mountainsides, like hurricane-force wind types of intense. These winds would instantly blow freezing air into the tent and could possibly collapse it, necessitating cutting yourself out from the inside. With a collapsed tent, they could have thought that walking down to the tree line to get cover from the wind and make a fire was the best option. They could have thought the tree line was closer than it was. After some walking, some members decide that they should go back to the tent and get supplies. In my opinion it surely fits better than a fire with no sign of burning, aliens, men with guns, or an avalanche
@@Robert63675 the avalanche that happened later on. the lady would have bit her tongue off as the avalanche hit with extreme force and eyes would have decomposed
even if there was hurricane-force wind, how so the tent was pictured not destroyed? and even then, if it happened, you would at least take shoes and coats while others are slashing tent fabric with knives. Or everybody escaped barefoot? it makes no sense. For me, most sane is something with drugs, delusions etc

@ObviouslyKieran skiing is dangerous for amateurs
Rheumatoid arthritis is bad enough in the hands, even worse in your joints and the pain is often times worse in the cold. Imagine trekking through deep snow hauling gear when your knees and shoulders ache. Yuri also had a heart murmur and that can lead to difficulty keeping pace if it were to act up. He probably thought he could tough it out at first but as they went further and further north and got more exposed to the elements he realized he'd be a hindrance to their progress and left. Poor lad, survivor's guilt ruined him in an era and a country where mental health wasn't taken very seriously.

“The most appealing aspect of Kuryakov’s scenario is that the Dyatlov party’s actions no longer seem irrational. The snow slab, according to Greene, would probably have made loud cracks and rumbles as it fell across the tent, making an avalanche seem imminent. Kuryakov noted that although the skiers made an error in the placement of their tent, everything they did subsequently was textbook: they conducted an emergency evacuation to ground that would be safe from an avalanche, they took shelter in the woods, they started a fire, they dug a snow cave. Had they been less experienced, they might have remained near the tent, dug it out, and survived. But avalanches are by far the biggest risk in the mountains in winter, and the more experience you have, the more you fear them. The skiers’ expertise doomed them.”
Damn talk about knowing too much for your own good 😦 that’s actually kind of horrifying
It was certain death though since they didn't have enough clothing. You don't run away from one danger into a more certain slow death of freezing. No experienced person would do that. They would have grabbed what they could and put something on even if it meant an avalanche may be immanent. And they would stick together. What you're saying is like jumping out of a plane that you think might crash but not having a parachute. Nobody is going to do that. Plus they eventually walked away calmly. If they can walk away calmly and felt they had time to do that then they can grab some clothes and get dressed while heading to the trees. Maybe they were just too drunk and stoned from some drug and then heard an avalanche and all scattered though. I might buy that. You'd have to be pretty wasted though. Or it could be something crazy like a Russian helicopter was hovering above the tent and threatening them. Who knows. Your theory may have some merit but there are still too many actions not answered.
@@VROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM I find it kind of hard to believe that they walked away from the tent. Especially if they had half their clothes on and they cut a hole from the inside to get out. This is the first time I ever heard them walking away from the tent and not running away from it I don't know what story is true though

I agree with you that its a very bizarre and frightening tragedy, but i think the video shows great explanation regarding some of the various mysteries.
right before they die, victims of hypothermia tend to feel extremely hot, and in many cases they tend to take of their clothes in a last stroke of desperation. that could explain why some of them were severely under-dressed.
Marcos Alban you are right, but there were no clothes around them.
But those people then took the clothes from people that hard already died
Yeah, it's called paradoxical undressing, but it's likely according to the maker that they were just underdressed as they came out of the tent when they were sleeping trying to escape the smoke/fire
No, that was not the casd here, because there were no clothes found around them. They left the tent in panic and didn't have time to dress

Am I the only one who classifies documentaries like this as mild horror
Nope. I get chills every time I watch his vids.
No, they are just unsolved mysteries. I have yet to see any horror on youtube, and the closest thing to it is true crime, which I can binge on, But it doesn't phase me in the least bit. The only horror to me I guess would be people hurting animals or young children. I feel bad for human victims who are innocent, but most crime involves some fucked up back story involving some level of betrayal between the killers and the victims. The best true crime mysteries are when there is no apparent motive or the person has a warped sense of reality (psycho/sociopath) and we have to piece together the clues to figure out wtf happened.
Mild? This is extreme horror, fuck spooky ghost houses, getting lost and dying in the snowy mountains is way more terrifying
Nope. You’re right
Yeah, I tend not to watch these at night and without people, because this shit is scary as hell, and would give me nightmares
As soon as you mentioned the knife and signs of cutting up the tent from the inside, my first thought was, "well, they fucked up the stove". In Swedish military service you use tents with stoves alot. And there is always one person awake watching the stove. Now the primary reason is for him to keep feeding wood to the stove, but it is also very important that person has a knife handy, because it is also that persons job to cut up the tent if fire starts being where it is not supposed to.

I would be so paranoid using a stove in a tent that is saving me from certain death. At the very least I would have a 2nd (non-stove) tent set up a few yards away as backup.
man wouldn't you just love to know how stuff like this actually happened. Just the ability to go back to this night and watch it unfold as it answers all of the questions, or being able to go back to London in the 1800s to see who Jack the Ripper was, and how he got away with it all.
It's so damn interesting, the way that things appear to someone knowing only general details and/or facts, and the completely logical and sensible manner that they occurred. Like this, for example. LEMMiNO's explanation makes complete sense, and is probably what happened, but the radioactivity, the slashed tent and the calm footprints down the mountain make it so much more confusing to someone who is only told the facts about the case.

No, it's common misconception due to several translation errors. In Russian it is "мертвая гора" which means "a mountain where nothing grows" or "mountain with dead surface", but some people wrote it down as "гора мертвецов" - "mountain of dead men". The reason why they did might be a problem with translating from native tribes languages, which are not easy to learn. That's where this myth comes from.

actually the forest was a bit far from the actuall campsite

@Ivan wow do you feel better now?
In light of all the speculation surrounding what happened at Dyatlov Pass, the only survivor, Yuri Yudin, was often asked what he thought happened to his companions. He maintained until his death in 2013 that the Soviet military had to be involved in the deaths. Yudin believed his friends stumbled across a military exercise and that the Soviet government bore responsibility for the loss of his companions. He said that all his companions were expert hikers and skiers and were well equipped to handle natural phenomena like avalanches or snowstorms.
Yudin noted that after searchers found the campsite, the military was more concerned with what the skiers were doing in the area, not what had happened to them.
After searchers found the hikers, Yudin was asked to identify the items collected at the campsite. Yudin said some items did not belong to his fellow hikers, including glasses, a pair of skis, fragments of a ski, and a piece of cloth he identified as part of a soldier's coat. In a journal that Yudin kept all his research of the event in, which came to light after his death, Yudin referred to "soldiers' tape" and wrote he was confident it was among the items he was asked to identify. Yudin claims in his journal that he tried to bring this to the colonel's attention who was with him at the time, but he ignored it. Yudin speculated that before the official search found the hikers' campsite, the military had already been there and pointed to these items as proof.
Yudin also posed the rhetorical question: if something as mundane as an avalanche caused the death of his friends, why did the government close the case so quickly and mark it as classified?
Yudin also noted in his journal that there was one factor at the site of his friends' deaths that none of the "normal" suggestions could explain: the mild radioactivity of the clothes and bodies of the deceased hikers.
Yudin was not there and could not explain the incident, for all we know he's full of shit and was trying to sell a story
I'm tired of this stupid trope "mystery happened in the Soviet Union, the commies clearly did it because they evil", and I'm tired of stupid conspiracy theories made up on the internet

@@mikelcali6364 ok tankie
@@apseudonymok redditor
I know its kinda too late for response but the radioactive clothes belonged to two of these hikers who have worked on jobs that involved nuclear stuff so that can explain radioactivness
@@swgwav thats what popped into my mind straight away. The fact that only three items of clothing (not necessarily belonging to three different people) had radioactivity suggests that it was most likely picked up elsewhere. Considering they went to a technical institute and as you say studied nuclear decomposition and materials I think it is more likely the clothes picked up the radioactivity there. If it had been something that happened in this incident, it is likely other radioactive materials would have been found, either on many more of the clothes or on the bodies. While the Soviet military did some dubious things, I just don’t see any evidence (barring the radioactivity that I think this is the most appropriate reason for) of their involvement; it is much more likely Yudin either personally disliked the military or wanted to gain more attention and so tried to suggest new theories or perhaps even make up more sensational “factors”.
Scary thing is, at least one of them died knowing exactly what happened

@@MiloMcCarthyMusic I mean, the ones who fell the 3 meter fall, the ones coming back and the ones frozen around the campfire died different deaths. They may not have known whether the rest were dead or not at the time they themselves died.
One possibility I didn't hear (or didn't notice if you did mention it)...carbon monoxide poisoning from the stove. Could cause irrational behavior like not being dressed appropriately.
I also choose this man’s dead wife
I thought the lack of clothing would be due to the hypothermia which when severe causes you to feel very warm?
I thought the same thing, however if i'm not mistaken Co1 intoxication is dangerous precisely because it kills you without even noticing, which makes a panick attack unlikely in my opinion
Carbon Monoxide takes a while to kill you and even cause damage and has to be in extremely high amounts for an extended period of time.
Having a fire in a contained space for even a few minutes wouldn't really do any damage nor affect anyone from carbon monoxide, especially because there were holes in the tent and thus the carbon monoxide would have been vented, smoke doesn't vent as easily though.
MagicCookie but we're not talking about carbon monoxide "killing you", were talking about it negatively affecting your judgment, e.g. it takes X amount of alcohol to kill you, but not much to change your actions and behavior. I'm not saying it WAS carbon monoxide, just throwing it out there as a possibility.

What he doesn't mention is that hikers in extreme freezing climates like this often die underdressed, because of a phenomenon where one, under extremely cold circumstances, starts to feel extremely hot, and often falls into the trap of taking off clothing to cool down, and, as a result, killing themselves, rather quickly.
Wheatley finally, ive been thinking about this a lot. I thought by my illogical stupid brain that THAT was what hypothermia is, of course i knew it was dumb lol
Wheatley
Isn’t it called ‘paradoxical undressing?’
They took the clothes off their dead friends, they built a fire, and they built a snow den. They were very aware of the danger they were in and they left the tent partially dressed. Who the hell undresses to go to bed in one of the most forsaken places on the planet and in subzero temperatures?

What do you mean by "radioactive" clothes? Guys, he's delusional. Take him to the infirmary.
I was looking for this comment 😃
Interesting. I looked into this about five years ago. My memories are these:
1) Likely an avalanche. Even a two or three foot covering causing the collapse of part of the tent might be enough to cause one or more to cut the tent to escape and there were many knives in their possession. Additionally, I may be seeing things but if you look beyond the tent (100, 200 feet?) and down the hill there may be evidence of the washout of an avalanche. A line where there is heavy snow and then less snow.
2) The slow walk could be caused by dread. They knew there was little shelter remaining in the tent, and they realized that the tent needn't have been cut for them to have escaped.
3) I believe that you are correct about the tree being used in an effort to locate the tent, and further I believe that it may also have been used to direct some of the party back in the direction of the tent. I believe the fire was started there to light the person in the tree to make them more visible from a distance. It would make no sense to start a fire in that location for heat because there were less exposed areas around them that would have provided more windbreak.
4) I believe the bodies in the creek were actually macerated by the melting of ice by flowing water and the subsequent collapse of ice and snow as the mass was no longer sufficiently supported from below. I believe that this could have happened several times before the bodies were located.
5) I believe the "massive blood loss" prior to death was not really evidenced in the autopsy. I believe it was an assumption based on the "injuries" suffered by the three when in fact the damage to the bodies was caused after their death.
There were many other things that I can't recall now, and there dozens more that I could address but this isn't likely to be read anyway. Good luck!
From your own findings, what’s the typical reason for the abnormal radiation levels? Are they actually noticeably abnormal or just slightly which could be attributed to any number of things? And the ones missing almost all their clothes, were these clothes found? did the other take them for themselves once they realised they were dead either way? Or were these never recovered. As for the avalanche, it seems possible but couldn’t the evidence have happened in the period after their death but before they were found? As I feel cutting the tent from the inside to get out implies a swift exit, then to slowly trundle down the mountain with none of their stuff doesn’t add to me, keen to see what you think if you’re still around a year later
@@AceGlitchBuster Still here. As far as the radioactive material is concerned, clothing in the water could have worked like a seine and gathered it like the riffles in a chute that gold prospectors use. There was a LOT of radioactive material dispersed by bomb testing and a lot of it would likely end up in creeks. There also may have been contamination and cross contamination in the evidence. There seems to be a lot of reliance upon the investigation but none of it was controlled in any way, and it was very sloppy. There were a lot of radiation detectors spread all over Russia back then (and likely still) so that's probably why the bodies were checked for radiation. Often times, if you look for something, you find it, the question then becomes, does it have any bearing? Can you imagine a found body in the wilderness being checked for radiation today? Not likely unless there was a detector in the hands of someone in close proximity with not much else to do, and if they detected radiation, it would have been ignored. Were hikers that had traveled for a week in snow and ice routinely checked for radiation back then? Probably not. It's possible that if they had been checked they might have found that it was common to find radioactive material on all hikers returning from that area.
Yes, I think clothes were taken as people died. I would have taken some too.
It's important to remember that people back then had very little, and there a lot of them at the site. It's hard for me to think too much about anything that's supposedly missing. Something like quality warm clothes would have been a pretty natural thing for a searcher to just put on and not report.
If the evidence for the avalanche was left after their deaths but before the search, at the very least it would be evidence that it was possible.
Regarding their trek down from the tent, if a semi collapsed tent was covered and infiltrated in three feet of tumbled snow it would have been very difficult to find anything that they were actually looking for. Almost no one goes through anything like this so they weren't mentally prepared for the magnitude of their mistake. Bitterly cold and the futility of it all. If they were like me they probably would have headed for the woods, and figured they had at most a 5% chance of a very painful survival or a 95% chance of freezing to death.
Of course these are all just guesses. I'm glad it wasn't me.
The radioactive thing. It could also be from the "radium" or similar from what I would expect to be inside the compass they used. I believe it was used on models after 1917 to illuminate the dials. It's not like the glow in the dark stuff we have now, this lasted 20-50 years illuminated.
I was British Army, a navigation and map reading instructor during my time. I know the stuff they used in the high-grade compass which they likely used would have been crazy radioactive. Even on modern variants, if one breaks, you don't want to be anywhere near that thing.
Not saying it sent them crazy. But a quick exit from a Tent, in the night, in the snow, broken compass. They had gone down the hill... but from the looks of it, the "wrong" down, by which point they was lost, cold and .... f*ck'd.
Bright lights in the sky? Turn a 3v simple LED on in a desert, walk 5 miles and look back at that LED, you will be surprised. Add this story with a now broken compass, illuminating on the side of a mountain with kids messing around with it. It would look like something strange in the night.
Oh hello there
What about the inhumane injuries? What probably caused them?
Tidal Wave falling, and the avalanche, i think that that one checks out, and the eyes and tongue are the first things to decompose, I don’t think it’s suspicious
Vale Conti why didnt the eyes and tongues of all the bodies decompose? only one of them was missing her tongue, and reports state that it appears to have been ripped out from the root of it. they also state that she was alive when it happened due to the blood levels in her stomach. also, many of the bodies had burn injuries on them. one body also had bruising on his knuckles, as if he was fighting someone. the first 2 bodies that were found were missing skin on their hands because of how quickly they attempted to climb a tree, presumably to escape something. please explain all of these “not suspicious” injuries
@@yooooo8600 plus the fact that the eyes and tongue or the body in general should be semi preserved when its in a cold area/place. And i disagree to the people saying that it was an accident that she bit off her tongue, it said that it was ripped off at the root so she must have been purposely sticking her tongue out if that was the case. And yes the LED theory can be applied but it doesnt make sense because they stated that it was strange lights "in the sky".

Fear of an avalanche. For expert hikers, they knew an avalanche meant death. Signs of avalance would make then escape into the forest, since their main priority was staying alive for the time being.

"gaping orbits, the eyes are absent" sounds weirdly poetic coming from a coroner's report
A LOT of people seem to be highly focused on the missing eyes/tongue. The incident occured on the night of February 2nd, but Dubinina's body was only found May 4th (91 days later), apparently face down in a small stream. Since she was further away and found with clothes belonging to others, my theory would be that she was the last to survive, and simply lost consciousness attempting to drink from the stream. By that point, the incident would've been hours prior to her death, leaving her tired, cold, hungry, and most importantly, thirsty. If she indeed was found with her face submerged in a current, it is perhaps the only body part out of all the hikers that did not freeze over and therefore decomposed to a degree. The eyes and tongue very well could've decomposed and/or were possible eaten away by some bacteria in the stream.
It is also important to note in this case that most Anglophones researching it have access to translated material from its original language, sometimes small details or the writer's intent can get lost in translation, especially a slightly older case like this one.
There is no reason to assume that the position she was found in was the position that she died in. She was probably on the shelf with the others but changed position as the stream melted the snow. The eyes and tongue were eaten by animals. Small predators always go for that stuff first and most bodies laying around in the wilderness get munched on. Nothing unusual at all about it.
@Haru you got this all wrong every way possible😂
...that's because they don't know what else to focus on=)
Drink from a stream when it's below 30 decrease? You know those will be frozen right? In deep ice with no way of getting to without tools.
No she was'n't found because of the weather condition.
Her body and footprints were covered in snow so how would they know where to search?
Yea, the translation is not the problem. People are just as ignorant today as they were back then no matter how they write or in what. And I don't know why you are so accurate with the dates...who cares what day it is ?
This has no importance what so ever.

This is one of those cases where there's just to much information available, where every theory has something making it seem unlikely.
True. Also, there has been so much misinformation spread about this incident throughout the years that make it even more confusing and complex.
@@bonniehowell4259 The only think that make everything impossible to figure out is the calm walking in the snow.... if there was running, then it could be explained by those low freq sounds that can happen in mountains (though extremely rare) or a military experiment with low freq sounds. Or maybe even parachute mine bombs. But they walking calmly throw everything into the air. Maybe they did not walk and that's a lie or not true. I don't know.
@@marinfrombratia hypothermia can impair someone's motor skills, so it might be possible they were just too ill to run

That's not at all true, they were all very close friends, and he would've compromised their hiking had he stayed.
Not really, while he did survive, he lost his best friends, and all because he was "lucky" and got sick. I can only imagine the survivors guilt he felt.

Yuri Yudin, the one that left the group, said in an interview that he had to identify the belongings from his friends. But he failed to match a pair of clothing (different from the hikers clothing), glasses, pair of skis. Leading him to suspect that the military found the tent before the recuers
and the military got the other cameras that possibly had photos of things they did not want other people to see
Or maybe he just remembered wrong, our brain tends to trick us very often.
Use ockam's razor: it's much more plausible than a government conspiracy
i doubt a friend would know their mates entire wardrobe , especially hiking gear which was probably bought new and you dont typically see people wearing
@@lukebater-watson1781 most Soviet clothing was identical (no different brands, so differences in clothing mostly from region to region), so it's strange for him to not recognise the clothing, except if it was bought after he left (not very probable), or in another place all together, which isn't likely either since they were friends and lived in the same region.
And the glasses and the pair of skis are very distinctive in general and you certainly know which belong to whom after traveling with their owners for days and days.
@@m.m.1301 This isn't remembering wrong, it's not being able to place it, he doesn't have to remember who it belonged to, just that he's seen it before - which he hadn't - and since he was so close with everyone and they were all very experienced for him to not recognize glasses and skis seems odd, especially if you just use the process of elimination, but I don't have enough information.
Also, Occam's Razor isn't about plausibility, it's abiut the simplest answer, which shouldn't be used in criminal investigations as the simplest answer often isn't correct as criminals are trying to hide, so they go to lengths to cover their tracks and thus make the answer complicated.
Occam's Razor is only good for simple scenarios or ones where there is a abundance of information and you're deducting, not creating an answer.
For example, is this person lying? Well look at what they said and what evidence you have and find the simplest *amd most probable* solution.
Trying to solve a bank heist? Well Occam's Razor would say somone from the bank had a key and walked in... but that's probably not the case.
Its just, really simply, sad seeing their warm smiles and hugging as they parted ways with their friend. Not knowing what will happen.
These were just normal good people it seems like. Which just makes it really horrible to think those happy people died in such an awful way.

@@Jakromha oo spooky
@@Jakromha LOL
I always imagine doing this but as a ghost or something so that I can't affect anything lol
@@Mahdi_B You can't observe without affecting.
A couple questions that have been on my mind....
1) Where did you get the information that they were intoxicated? Everything that I've read said there was no conclusive evidence they were intoxicated or had brought alcohol on the trip. All were known to be experienced professional outdoorsman, and it seems unlikely they would have brought extra weight in the form of alcohol. Invesitgator Eichar states that it is "highly implausible. By all indications, the group was largely harmonious and sexual tension was confined to platonic flirtation and crushes. There were no drugs present and the only alcohol was a small flask of medicinal alcohol, found intact at the scene. The group had even sworn off cigarettes for the expedition."
2) While the radioactivity theory is certainly a plausible explanation, *I'm still mystified as to why authorities would check for radiation in the first place.* I've been a cop in the US for 13 years...why on earth would rescuers searching for missing hikers bring radiation detection equipment to such a remote location? Radiation detection is a highly technical field requiring expensive equipment, specially trained personnel, and additional logistical capability. Seems rather bizarre.
3) One of the most famous photos of this incident shows the hikers tent, damaged in the snow. The tent is very small and looks like it could barely hold half of the 9 hikers. Where was the other tent?
4) After the investigation was complete, the pass and several miles around the camp site was seized as government property, and entry was forbidden, similar style to Area 51 restrictions in the United States. Why?
5) Several independent agencies in the USSR tried to re open the case to investigate further, and were discouraged from doing so by the KGB. Evgeny Okishev (Deputy Head of the Investigative Department of the Sverdlovsk Oblast Prosecution Office), was still alive in 2015 and had given an interview to former Kemerovo prosecutor Leonid Proshkin in which Okishev stated that he was arranging another trip to the Pass to fully investigate the strange deaths of the last four bodies when Deputy Prosecutor General Urakov arrived from Moscow and ordered the case shut down.
6) I get that they may have been scared from a possible fire, but being an experienced hiker, why cut the tent? If there is light from the fire I would imagine it would easier to leave out of the flap then to cut the tent. From what I have read, the only hikers with the burn marks were the ones that had set up the campfire...none of the other hikers had burns.
7) Physical exertion in that extreme cold can cause pneumonia, which in turn can cause you to cough up blood. When you breathe in cold air, your lungs humidify it and heat it as it goes into your body. If you’re outside in cold weather, you’re putting a large amount of cold air in your lungs. This causes your airways to become narrow and irritated by the cold, while at the same time trying to do their job of warming and humidifying as quickly as possible.
8) Authorities concluded an avalanche or fear of avalanche to be unlikely. The hikers were all experienced, and would have known to not set up in an avalanche zone. The topography of the area does not support an avalanche, and no prior avalanches had ever been recorded. The location of the tent near the ridge was found to be too close to the spur of the ridge for any significant build-up of snow to cause an avalanche. Furthermore, the prevailing wind blowing over the ridge had the effect of blowing snow away from the edge of the ridge on the side where the tent was. This further reduced any build-up of snow to cause an avalanche. This aspect of the lack of snow on the top and near the top of the ridge was pointed out by Sergey Sogrin in 2010
9) Others in the group appear to have acquired additional clothing (from those who had already died), which suggests that they were of a sound enough mind to try to add layers.
Nice attempt... your questions seem quite rational... Maybe it's another government top secret that they don't want to reveal... Maybe there were UFO's and hence case was shut down as happened in the US..... Only giving bizzare conclusions in reports for public... SMH
Description said his translation was off, alcohol played no part.
Also, my biggest thing as an experienced hiker/survivalist if you will, is, what kind of "extremely experienced"campers set up camp at the most exposed area they could possibly find? Thats my biggest red flag. Who on EARTH would ok pitching a tent on the side of a barren mountain voluntarily? Especially when the woods/cliff/embankment is a couple yards away?
the reason they searched for radioation was probably a broken compass, back then they put radium on it to make it glow, if they broke it’d be pretty radioactive.
@@antonistich9316 the amount of radium in a compass is so small, it's trace amounts. Radiation detection equipment, especially of that era, was and is not nearly sensitive enough for that search method to be effective.
@@renegade_patriot you have to keep in mine this was cold war Soviet union a time of where the word radiation was a common thing or nuclear testing.

I remember one paranormal case in my life.
I was a young boy and was ill.
An old woman was a worker in the school, she remarked that I am ill and said me to close my eyes.
She passed with her hands near my body, but didn't touched me.
After that I immediately got much better.
I didn't realize what happened and just said "Thank you!".
So, maybe this old woman was a real "witch" (I don't know, but maybe she had been from the Old Believers (subethnicity of Russians).
Why not something paranormal happened to the group of hikers ?
Maybe hallucinations?
I have read stories that sometimes a ghost can come to you, looking like your friend and ask you to follow it.
And you will follow it without thoughts.
The only way to wake up of such nightmare is to directly ask the ghost "Where are we going?".
After that you wake up and find out that you are somewhere far away from the place where you had been before.
That pesky Yeti that builds you fires and freezes you to death?

If the tent suddenly filled up with smoke it would be incredibly difficult to actually see in order to open the doors of the tent. My guess is that there was a zipper or some other kind of seal on the door that they either couldn't find in the smoke or was stuck shut and they decided that rather than all try and wait to open the door they just cut their way out in a panic.
It's also somewhat possible that all the smoke inhalation would disrupt oxygen flow to the brain and mess with their reasoning.

Dead Mountain was a very good book on this subject, the author states that he tracked down the remaining staff who examined the bodies to interview them himself and seemed to put in a lot of legwork. Uphill from their campsite was a natural rock formation nicknamed "boot rock" due to it's shape, the book goes into detail, including talking to experts on infrasound, physics and meteorology, about how the area's high-force winds crest the mountain top and flow around boot rock to cause an infrasound "vortex" on the downward slope right where the party set up their tent. Infrasound waves can apparently cause anomalous vibrations and pressure in the chest making it hard to breathe and on top of that in roughly 25% of people it can cause nausea, irrational feelings of dread and other adverse psychological effects. In addition to that direct effect upon the occupants of the tent, one of the scientists states that in addition to sounding really freaky, the position the tent was in was a prime location for the vortex to amplify the wind so much that it would've felt like a freight train was passing just yards from them.
Place a close-knit group of people in a tent. They're all scared by a continuous loud noise outside their tent that they've never heard before, having trouble breathing or even thinking straight. They're not sure exactly where they are (they knew enough to know that they weren't where they wanted to be which is why they stopped and camped to wait until morning) and all they can see outside their tent is the pitch black night and white whipping snow. In that situation where panicking is a very real possibility all it takes is for a number of the group to fall into that 25% of people who suffer increased effects of infra soundwaves, or even just the leader, to be tipped over the edge into blind panic where the only animal imperative is to get out of that situation and then you can easily end up with a cut-open tent, experienced people acting out of sorts and a lost expedition.
The footprints indicating that the group walked away are an absolute red herring: you can't have over two weeks pass in a snowbound area and not have the footprints be filled in by drifting snow or snow driven by the wind. Any prints found would be far more shallow than they would've been originally. The hikers found battered horrendously had fled through the snow ahead of the rest of the group and blindly fell into the ravine to their fate upon the rocky riverbed of the stream that created that ravine. I've seen pictures of that location in the summertime and it's a nice, green wooded area with gentle slopes (if the pictures are accurate). However at that time of year the stream was yet to freeze and snow had built up around it into high banks due to the trees lining the stream. Snow doesn't settle on moving water so what should've been a consistent snowscape actually had a ravine carved through it thanks to the moving water which froze around the bodies after the event, allowing snow to settle and cover them which is why they weren't found until much later. Their injuries were consistent with a lethally hard impact from a fall and in the dark a small number of people running in close proximity can very easily all blunder into the same hazard without warning.
I find this incident to be tragic but fascinating and the book put a lot of it to rest for me and made a lot of sense.
The Mauler thumbs up for a good read. I’ve never heard of the infrasound thing that’s really interesting
Hell, this sounds legit.
"Radiation-related tests. The radiation that had been detected on the hikers’ clothes is largely
responsible for the idea that some weapon, potentially nuclear in nature, had exploded above
or near the campsite and had forced the hikers from their tent-causing injury and affecting
their vision. After the autopsies, two sets of the hikers’ clothes tested two to three times higher
than normal for radiation. I submitted these test results to Dr. Christopher Straus, associate
professor of radiology at the University of Chicago Medical Center to find out if the original
verdict would hold up. Dr. Straus was able to determine, upon first glance, that by today’s
scientific understanding of radiation levels, the beta particle decays cited in the criminal case
for the hikers’ clothing were nowhere near an abnormal range. They would have had to be 50
to 100 times the level detected to reach dangerous or alarmingly abnormal levels of radiation.
The slight positive result in the hikers’ clothing could easily be explained by environmental
contaminants-for example, radiation from nuclear tests conducted that winter on the islands
of Novaya Zemlya, 850 miles to the north of the hikers’ location, could have found its way to
the northern Urals through the atmosphere and water cycle.”
TL;DR: By today's standards the level of rads recorded were above what would be expected but not alarmingly so.
did you watch the video? the people with radiation worked with radio active materials as a job
So what is your opinion on tongue and eyes?
Your theory does make a lot of sense. There is no alien or really out of the ordinary thing just the hikers found threat in the tent and tried escaping but eventually got in more trouble once they were outside in the middle of nowhere
I just read the book "Dead Mountain", by Donnie Eichar. The book says that the stove had not been assembled that evening. The book also says that the hikers only took medicinal alcohol with them, and the flask was found unused. I won't say what the author's theory is, in case anyone wants to read the book. I highly recommend it.
You peaked my interest, I'm gonna check my library.
Cindy Robin They’re Russians. No self-respecting Russian goes anywhere without their trusty vodka.
I’m kidding, of course. Please don’t @ me.
Lemmino does say the stove was found disassembled, and he did include that in his theory. He said the embers in the dissembled stove could of started smoking and burn an item near the stove, such as clothing, causing a fire. This fire would start as unnoticeable smoldering and fill the tent with smoke and carbon monoxide, and once the fire was noticeable, they liked doused it, realized there was too much smoke, and got out before succumbing to sleep.
I found the book quite convincing. This video is well done. The book is excellent.
Cindy Robin I really would like to get the book after watching all these theories!

You can read the official report online, there is a lot of false evidence out there.
@@austinryan9382 where can I find the official evidence at?
Overall the general consensus of the investigators regarding the footprints was that 8-9 footprints show that members of the group walked in single file with a tall man walking in the back. His footprints partially covered the footprints of his friends who walked in front of him. Overall the path gave an impression of an organized and uneventful descent down the slope of the mountain. Several trails would deviate from the general direction, but then rejoin the group. At least one pair had shoes - all the rest were either barefoot or in socks or valenki (felt boot that are commonly used).
There are really no reports of the footprints found around the tent. The first footprints were found several meters down the hill and disappeared when they entered the wooded area.
When the tent was found, the searchers were only thinking of finding the hikers. To them, it made sense that the hikers were still alive and so very little attempt was made to preserve evidence at the tent. Most of the actions of the hikers from that night can be explained. There are still weird things like why one (or more) of them climbed the tree to look back at the tent? Why, seemingly 3 other searchers stumbled on the tent 2 days earlier, but didn't report it until much later? Why they left the fire they had built at the cedar? Did the three found returning to the tent make it to the cedar or did they turn around sooner and where were they in relation to the footprints? What happened at the ravine? Why did the 4 at the ravine dig a snow cave, but not use it? Etc.... But the biggest mystery is what made them flee the tent in such a panic only to, then, simply walk a mile down the hill in socks and bare feet?
Investigators that were originally assigned the case back in 1959 still have little to no idea what forced them out of the tent. None of them concluded it was a fire in the tent, so it's funny when people come along and, after a few hours research, ignore basic facts and conclude something that none of the original investigators even considered. If you go through all of the witness testimony, none of it mentions the stove other than it was found disassembled and still in its case.
So... Like a fire?

There was another video (from the Bedtime Stories channel, I believe) that gave the most fitting theory I’ve heard. When you’re on these snowy mountaintops there is a weather anomaly that can occur that causes intense downward winds to strike the mountainsides, like hurricane-force wind types of intense. These winds would instantly blow freezing air into the tent and could possibly collapse it, necessitating cutting yourself out from the inside. With a collapsed tent, they could have thought that walking down to the tree line to get cover from the wind and make a fire was the best option. They could have thought the tree line was closer than it was. After some walking, some members decide that they should go back to the tent and get supplies.
In my opinion it surely fits better than a fire with no sign of burning, aliens, men with guns, or an avalanche
And what about injuries, a crack in the skull, broken ribs?
@@Robert63675 the avalanche that happened later on. the lady would have bit her tongue off as the avalanche hit with extreme force and eyes would have decomposed
Was there any sign of the tent being collapsed?
What about those burn marks?
even if there was hurricane-force wind, how so the tent was pictured not destroyed? and even then, if it happened, you would at least take shoes and coats while others are slashing tent fabric with knives. Or everybody escaped barefoot? it makes no sense. For me, most sane is something with drugs, delusions etc
