“I’m gonna find out how these experienced hikers died horribly by reenacting the incident that killed them and taking notes” Hats off to you Mr. Holmgren you absolute mad lad
Tbh they had emergency provisions, and hired an experienced hunter on standby as well as letting people know where they were going. Unless im thinking of another researcher
I am an experienced outdoorsman, my inclination in a sudden and severe weather event if already inside a tent would be to stay put. Even if the tent collapsed, it would still provide some shelter. The large group's combined body heat and all their equipment would have been a better chance of survival than going out into subzero temperatures in a raging gale, partially clothed. The Swedish group's circumstances were different. They were struck by the weather event before they had a chance to get the tent up. Those are my thoughts anyway, I don't think we'll ever know for certain what happened to the group in the Ural Mountains. So sad, all those talented individuals perished way before their time.
_"The large group's combined body heat and all their equipment would have been a better chance of survival than going out into subzero temperatures in a raging gale, partially clothed."_ Maybe even if it was "just" wind they somehow got convinced that an avalanche had started and escaped in a hurry because of that and that. they might then have been unable to go back to the tent because of the nighttime, cold and extreme weather.
edmon dantes if they thought an avalanche was coming why would they not get dressed and then use their hands to bury part of tent? Then run off in a hurried panic. Nearly naked.
I really appreciate you wishing the victims ever lasting peace in each episode. Its a small thing but plenty of channels bask in the suffering of what ever incidents they’re talking about with no mention to the suffering their fellow man suffered so they could make a video .
It always sounds weird to me. Like insisting on saying "god bless you" after someone sneezes. Someone dies and the response is "rest in peace." They're these odd, archaic phrases to ward off ill health and restless spirits of the damned. Or it makes me ask, "Are you legitimately concerned that they aren't 'resting in peace?'"
@@sketchesofpayneAtheist here, never thought of it this wat. Thanks! But it's pretty much the only thing I for one can express in regards to someone's passing besides the obvious fact that I'm sorry.
Maybe others who have actually done winter camping can chime in with their thoughts... but I have done some and I can tell you that from my experience, there is absolutely nothing barring an act of god that would convince me to walk off into the snowy night without the proper clothing. If the wind blows your tent down in the middle of the night, you wake up and fix it.
@@peterd4047 do you think that the tent they were in would have held up? i mean look at their bodies , they had broken bones and cuts . They needed to find better shelter. Would you stay in a Tent when a Tornado was only a few hundred feet from you ?

@@rayyanali4471 This is last week's story. It was not meant to be released last week. We uploaded it as private, but the setting didn't save after processing.
Hey thanks for the upload. I've never heard of this theory before but it does really well to address so many/all of the factors(from what I know myself)...I think we may be at a point where such a "mundane" explanation might never appease everyone.. I've personally always thought of the hikers' as real hero's and even I to a degree find it difficult to accept weather as an answer for such a tragic loss but it kinda feels somewhat similar to when a much loved artist or celebrity dies from something completely normal - it's hard to accept it was something so simple and unavoidable especially when there's sealed documents or persistent rumours etc etc.. Anyway I think you're right in that we'll never truly know but it's right also that questions are being asked and their memory kept alive...that is of course unless something nudges loose from Russia or the reopening of the case which I read a wee while ago is happening... X.
“... which we incorrectly described as zipped in our previous videos...” NOBODY ELSE would’ve cared about that. But YOU GUYS cared about that. The level of attention and detail that goes into these videos always blows me away.
The members that were crushed and had their bones broken had taken the clothes of the first group after they died. They had just enough to make a small fire, but not a big enough one to provide enough heat
I agree and I can only guess there were a series of gale force winds for them to do this. It would blow and then stop for a while and then start again.
I can't see anyone spending the time to throw snow on the tent to keep it from blowing away, yet not bothering to take the time to put on shoes or some decent clothes... And this theory doesn't explain the bodies being moved after death either. It's a decent theory but yet again it doesn't hold up all that well when you look closer.
I think the snow on the tent was blown onto it by the wind after it collapsed. As for bodies moving, that's quite common outdoors. Wind, water, snow, animals, and wild CSI teams all move the bodies around.
Maybe their clothes were wet and they were trying to dry it out first before wearing it. Cold wind blowing on wet clothes would make you feel colder than cold wind blowing on dry clothes.
It's possible the Russian military or whoever it was that found the camp found the bodies but didn't report them. Of course this also depends on how the bodies were found (face up or face down) before being moved
The tent collapses, they cut their way out, then leave behind all of their survival clothing and equipment and go off into the wilderness in street clothes (and less). Why did they (apparently) panic and run from the tent initially? This panic took place AFTER an attempt to stabilize the tent with snow? If time was taken to stabilize the tent, why wasn't time taken (first, before covering the tent with snow) to retrieve essential items (like shoes!)? If they maintained their wits long enough to cover the tent with snow, why did they then panic? How could anyone tell snow purposefully packed onto the tent from snow that blew onto it after the tent was abandoned? If the wind was sufficiently strong to blow objects around to make the projectiles capable of injuring members of the party, the wind could have blown the torch or headlamp onto the tent. (And why would anyone place it there? Maybe it went out, but then it would have been merely discarded. Was it turned on when left behind, to mark the position of the tent? - A comment below says it was off. I didn't catch that in the video. - This would suggest they were already planning on returning to the tent. If they were planning on leaving the tent, why did they not take critical survival gear with them? The key word here is PLAN. These were experienced outdoors people. If they were making a plan - stabilize the tent - why wasn't the plan directed to the critical and obvious need, which was to survive the conditions OUTSIDE of the tent?) Sorry, still doesn't wash. Any explanation has to encompass all of the facts. The panicked flight from the tent is consistent with their rapid egress through a hole cut through it from the inside. Something caused that panic. There have been MANY instances in mountaineering literature of tents being collapsed or hit by snow slides. In none of them do I recall reading that the incidents caused panic beyond the rush to get out to avoid suffocation. After that, vital survival gear is invariably recovered. I don't believe I've read of a single instance of such an event that caused the tent occupants to panic by running from the tent, or surmising they could better survive away from the tent and their gear. Something caused them to abandon the tent, something terrifying enough to prevent them from recovering equipment vital to their survival. Yes, people do sometimes act irrationally due to hypothermia, but I'm talking about their initial actions within the very first seconds of leaving the tent, well before their judgment could have been affected by the cold. I'm reading other comments now after posting mine. I thought I'd be the only nutcase saying "No way!" I'm gratified to see I'm not. I have the good company of several other nutcases! LOL
that's exactly what I was thinking, It doesn't make any sense. I have no idea what could've scared them so much, that they fled the camp in panic, half naked, leaving everything behind, knowing well, that in that state they probably wouldn't make it
They rushed out the tent = Something horrible life threatening thing occurred suddenly. The remaining 4 didn't head back to tent to grab their things & life support items = They afraid to go back, because of life threatening thing. Chest rib bone broken without soft tissue damage = being killed by either super natural power or advance high tech weapon. Radioactive = Hints the presence of advance weapon or tools. Missing tongue = someone or something didn't want the victim to have the ability to ever speak out again. The missing eyes = The victims had witness something in details and the "Thing" want to wipe off the eye as the "Witness". The scene only has the hiker's footprints, no other, no animal footprints = Hints the presence of "something" that is not existed in normal world, either super natural entity or high tech floating vehicle/flying suit, etc. The "thing" killed the victims with the condition of "wiping" the eyes and tongue = The "thing" was so offended and became mad that "it" want to triple confirm the hikers were never able to respond and leak and information about "him".
Well said, personally I think the KGB had something to do with it, as the Russian government was always hiding things and being sketchy. Perhaps they accidentally set up camp near a place they weren’t supposed to see? Edit: and forced at gun point to leave the area, though I’d rather a bullet than freeze to death myself so who knows
That is the most vexing question. Why adandon their tent while leaving protective clothing (even shoes) behind? They feared something even more than the freezing cold, but what?
Whats the logic in running away from the cold without wearing their other layers? I don't think this was a 'I think we should go' situation. I think this was more of a 'we need to go now' scenario, and I dont think winds could've made experienced hikers enter the freezing cold without layers or even boots.
I totally share your opinion. What I wrote earlier: This theory doesnt make any sense either, even if they got affected by strong winds, why would you leave your tents without your cloths or shoes. That would mean certain death, atleast put on all your cloths before you leave.. Number #1 theory should be that either the military or other people attacked them, and murdered them, and covered their tracks.
@@_Muzolf were the clothes wet. OR in the process of drying when the journey became abbreviated. What made them take the clothes off was the apparent cause of the semi nudity. What prevented them from re-clothing was another sudden factor. But.. have a look at the pictures they took. Obviously the work of fraternity pranks, vodka and a menk.
When trying to piece together the pieces, do not forget to factor in the complete darkness of the location. I read there was only a quarter moon on that date, and the moon didn't rise until around 3 AM. If you live in a city or a town, you have no idea how dark "dark" can be. You literally can not see your hand in front of your face.
This does make some sense, but keep in mind the environment. Think about what it is like outdoors at night when everything is covered in snow. Even with only starlight the snow has a way of reflecting light that makes it possible to see far better than the same light conditions without snow.
How did the tent survive the supposedly hurricane-force wind? If the hikers had time to shovel snow on top of the tent to prevent it from being blown away or torn to shreds, then they would have had time to unbutton the door properly and to get dressed. This theory has just as many holes as the other theories.
An amazing video as always. While supernatural explanations can be compelling and interesting, they are more often than not a mere attempt to fill an unknown. There is, however, a rather important detail which you didn't really cover in this video, namely that there where two bivouacs. The second being the hideout for Dytlov, Kolmogorova and Slobodin. They would have witnessed the collapse of the other bivouac, killing their friends almost instantaneous, while they where in no shape to help. Likely fearing a similarly fate they braved the elements in a last ditch effort to return to their tent, ultimately dying one by one, hence their bodies lying towards the tent. You can read this hypothesis at the tail-end of the article you yourself have linked. This will be my very first comment on youtube; this is how good your content is. Keep up the stellar work.
Interesting, because everyone is just assuming that Slobodin fell first and eventually died before anyone knew he fell, then, Krivonoshenko and Doreshenki dying next, then Dytlov and Kolomogrova next to die, and then the other four died last. Never would have thought of that.
The swedish guy's hypothesis and theory fleshed out in his blog post (iirc cited as a source in the katabatic wind section of the wiki article) I feel is the best possible explanation; certain elements of the official 2019 Russian re-investigation are fine, some are just bad old tripe. This timeline treats them as competent people, and he says that they reacted exactly how they should have in most cases. It's also compelling because it's at once a man vs nature story, a tragedy, heroic, scary, and a horror movie in terms of the plot and pacing. Things spiral out of control for unforeseeable reasons, the people have no further agency, every last bit of hope is dangled and then torn away, their friends die in groups, and then there's those last ditch ones going back up into the most impossible thing imaginable; up a mountain, into the mostly unknown, in likely -65c/-85f low Category 1 hurricane level winds blowing directly down the mountain into their faces, with no hope of salvation at the tents even if they reach it. And as the last few are left behind to freeze, they're the only person around for likely dozens of miles. They don't even get close.
Weren't the bodies leading back toward the tent found moved after death though, presumably to strip them of their remaining clothing? That version doesn't fit very well with how well and poorly clothed the various cadavers were found, as you'd assume the best-dressed members of the expedition to be the ones who survived the longest, as a general statement, both due to more clothing helping, and survivors taking clothes from the dead as a matter of survival. I don't think a 2nd bivouac for those members of the group scans properly. Maybe they tried building one, but had to build a 2nd for a better location or something, I don't know.
Parker Dixon-Word Could you cite where they were found moved after death, and where you get the idea they're poorly dressed? It's been a couple months, but I don't recall any of that. And no, paradoxical undressing can play havoc with all sorts of things, though I don't recall this very well tbh and I'm not doing the research again; though iirc some of them in the ice caves (and the ones on the way back to the tent?) were found with clothing of people who died around the campfire/ etc, so that does create an order. Why does a second bivouac not "scan?" One was found right near the collapsed one, and it makes sense as snow caves are limited in size by the poor structural capability of snow. I really can't decipher your last sentence either, so if you could rephrase it that'd be great
The reason they set up a tent in the first place is to protect themselves from the chilling wind and temperature right? If the climbers felt a sudden drop in temperature and freezing wind, wouldn't their first instinct be to put warmer clothes on and stay closer together instead of hurrying outside their tents with only light clothes on? And to leave in such a hurry and still have time to try put snow on their tent is just so unlikely. If they had enough time to put snow on their crumpling tent, wouldn't they at least have enough time to fully dress before venturing away? The Swedish case is not really comparable because they didn't have time to set up their tent yet. But they still try to stay at the shallow hole they've dug, because they knew they couldn't run anyway better. So why would the people in the Russian case try to run away if it's only from cold temperature? You just can't go anyway better than staying in your tent. To me, the key mystery still remains as to why they left the relative safety of their tent in such a hurry in the first place.
Yeah, the part that still doesn't make sense is the clothing. Like you say, why stick around to try to bury the tent in enough snow that it doesn't blow away but not grab warmer clothes?
Very sensible reasoning Supernova! Also, why would they run across the slope then suddenly begin walking in single file? Were they tired? Wouldn't they have liked to huddle together in the sheer cold, with the unclothed people more protected?
Yeah I'm of the opinion that they were killed to prevent them from talking about something. What I don't know. But the people killing them wanted to hide the manner of death and tried to make it look like a yeti attack.
you have no idea what you are talking about. their clothes were wet and off of them and they did not know they were going to hit by the avalanche of frigid dense air which is exactly what it was. The weather was not "getting worse". They were hit by the air at the exact location it would be strongest as if near the bottom of an avalanche area. they were approaching the cut in the mountains exactly where these "flash floods" of cold dense air blast down. you need to watch some of the abundant videos on katabatic winds uploaded including a recent national geographic video of climbing mountains in antarctica where they were hit by these winds but survived and then had to make various camps at the base of cliffs. so maybe you should reassess your logic circuits.
@@jaysilverheals4445 since you're so smart, maybe you can explain why they wouldn't put any of their clothes on? No boots. No coats. No gear. No nothing. Clothes are wet so we might as well leave everything behind. And yes, the wind so bad that a little snow can hold down the tent, but they themselves, all nine of them, well over a thousand pounds of human flesh couldn't? Don't bother though. You can't explain it, because it makes no sense, especially from nine highly experienced outdoorsmen. So watch your attitude, Mr Know-it-all.
@@jaysilverheals4445 You have the worst attitude. I've seen multiple comments on here by you acting as if you were there and know the facts. So were they panicked or not? Cause any rational experienced hiker as they were would grab ANY gear they could before venturing out into the cold. Absolutely no explanation you can give why not.
@@jaysilverheals4445 Having been camping, even if I had to leave in a hurry, there's no way in hell I'm not taking the half second to grab my boots. I may not have time to put them on, but I'm taking them with me. Same with a coat in the winter.
The respect and sense of loss presented for the students during the final statements really tugged at my heart. I don't believe any other video has shown this amount of respect/loss for those precious lives. Hats off to the creator of this video..... well done.
Funny thing, but these scary stories put me to sleep every night when nothing else I watch does. I think most narrators on these channels tend to have soothing voices.
This is a massively intriguing mystery, I've listened to everything available on YT. Only thing I'm sure of is that the hikers were as well equipped, disciplined and stable as could be, they were tough kids. The answer I can't find a satisfactory answer to is what would panic them so much that they wouldn't at least grab hold of their boots and coats even if they didn't have time to put them on?
I'm very curious by the way, who is responsible for the artwork featured in these videos? I'm especially impressed by the landscape art scenes. Please pass along my compliments to the artist. I see many well-deserved compliments to the writing and narration but none (as far as I've seen that is) for the impressive art that helps bring these stories to life! I was hoping to find information in the description but sadly there was nothing. Anyway, fantastic quality! This is by far the best account of this story that I've ever found. Keep it up! Edit: So after subscribing and visiting the actual channel, I was pleased to see that the headline video has answered my question! Awesome!
It's a nice theory, and makes sense of some of the stranger aspects of the story, however it is still conjecture, with multiples holes, and questions raised.
I've heard weirder theories on this particular case either way, and the gravitic wind theory seems the most supported overall by what evidence we have. Granted, I'll admit it doesn't explain the singed treetops and the radiation but the radioactive clothing is likely, as was explained in the videos, due to the students having worked with radioactive substances in the lab. Back in the '50s, proper protective measures against ionizing radiation was sparse and fairly primitive compared to today. Back then scientists didn't entirely understand the dangers of what they were working with. It wouldn't be too far fetched to say that the students' clothing and even skin may have been contaminated
Heavy winds blowing the tent down would still not be adequate reason to leave it. I'm no expert on this subject, but I think it's a safe bet that the tent is safer than being outside with little clothes on, even if the tent was collapsed. The sudden wind could have startled them into thinking that there was an avalanche, but even that doesn't make sense because they would have figured out everything was okay long before running a mile from their tent with socks on or bare feet.
That is what Yudin said (the one who left early). In those conditions you never leave your tent. The tent is your life. I still believe they were forced out at gunpoint and made to walk a mile without shoes...
@@samspielmann7704 That was my thinking too. I've lived my whole life in California and have probably only seen snow maybe 5 times in my life. That's why I don't consider myself an expert, but it sure seems to me like remaining in the tent would be the best option.
@@Troyster94806 Yeah they all knew he was the KGB plant. People forget this was sub-freezing weather. You don't walk a mile without shoes unless you are forced to. And the seriousness of the injuries of the second group was withheld for 30 years....Alot of the knuckle injuries are consistent with hand to hand fighting. I agreed with the female Russian criminologist who says they were murdered.
The most thorough and plausible explanation I have ever heard to explain what happened there. This has been an excellent series. Thank you for your hard work ❤
@rynu your could be onto something in a previous video, people pointed out that the wind could of sounded like an avalanche, the snow under them could of been moved or maybe the Russian military did do something b it this was launch flares spooking the veteran, triggering PTSD in him as he believed their position was going to be shelled. When they bursted put, they may of planed to go a short but check where the flare fell (ie is it above us or behind the hill we are on, if behind we can stand here and wait) unfortunately the katibatic wind hit. Forcing them down to the trees. Explaining the formation march.
@@kitfisto1827 the tent did not blow away. It was still up when the search helicopter went over it, with all their gear still neatly stacked inside. Slices of ham ton a plate. All the backpacks lining the sides of the tent. Cocoa in mugs.
I realize I am very very likely wrong and have a massive flaw in my reasoning that I’m too stupid to realize lol, but couldn’t they just stay in the tent? If they all stayed In the tent and huddled could they not stay warm enough even if the supports and roof collapsed? It would still be 8 or 9 people or whatever in essentially a big sealed blanket, no? Or would the wind still be too much ?
Or if they did have to leave - would they not at least put on shoes and a jacket? Or at the very least take their shoes/coat with them? A group of such experienced hikers would surely know that if they had to leave the tent to survive, that survival outside of their only shelter would depend on their ability to keep warm enough as not to freeze to death...which would undoubtedly happen with their running out into the snow, ice and freezing winds barefoot and half naked. Also, CenturianEagle, no question is stupid and every question is worth asking. Your reasoning is no less valuable than that of anyone else. One of the biggest problems in the world today is that people no longer use their critical thinking or dot connecting abilities. Well, most people anyways. Also, most people are too afraid of being wrong to voice their thoughts, questions and opinions. There's nothing wrong with being wrong or failing because we learn from our mistakes. Just my 2 cents.
Indeed, it covers pretty much all bases. There are some minor details left unexplained, like that mysterious photograph of a humanoid figure, but that could've been explained as being briefly followed by someone who had no connection to the incident and soon left them alone, to the students themselves messing around or trying to fabricate evidence of the existence of the so called "mountain men" in order to play a prank on their friends...
The Swedish-Russian Dyatlov Expedition deserves a fair amount of recognition for the amount of time and effort that went into developing the 'katabatic' wind theory. And although I highly commend the groups efforts, I can't help but feel that it doesn't explain the events of that night. There are a few things that the theory misstates, or misunderstands from the case files. Among these are: - at least two witnesses stated that the Chinese-made flash light found lying on top of the tent, was turned off when searchers arrived. Slobstov even testified that it turned on when he tested it. This flashlight was never intended to be used as a beacon by the Dyatlov group. - although the tent was found to have been pitched laterally to the ground, the group had cleared an 'L-shaped' notch in the slope so that the full-force of the wind would pass up and over the tent. The slope side of the tent would have been blocked by a wall of snow and would not have been subject to the full force of the wind. - the 3 found on the slope were found facing the tent. We can only assume that they were trying to return to the tent and did not collapse on their way down the slope as the Swedish-Russian group theorizes. At what point they decided to turn around we may never know. - the 4 found at the ravine stayed at the fire until, at least, Doroshenko and Krivonischenko died. We can assume this because clothing used to make the den were from pulled from Yuri D. and Yuri K. after death. - Something not mentioned in the video but which the 'katabatic' wind theory states is that the crushing injuries on Zolotaryov and Dubinini were caused by a gradual compression over time even though autopsies state that it was not gradual but rather an instant force similar to what would occur in a car accident. During an even more recent autopsy of Zolotaryov by a forensic pathologist, he stated that the force was instant and was not a gradual compression over time.
I vastly prefer this to any other explanation. It really makes the most amount of sense, taking just about everything into account. There's enough weirdness left in the world with this logical explanation. Not everything is a vast government conspiracy, nor need it be. Rogue waves and wind are weird enough as it is, and hell, *those* could be caused by weird and supernatural phenomena. But as for the Dyatlov Pass incident, this explanation satisfies me.
They would have told the truth about what really happened to these people. And to whom ever survived. But something or someone didn't want the truth told. Or to be found out by anyone ever. So but I know someday someone will tell the truth to someone. What took place.
It's hard to imagine they had the time and presence of mind to weight their tent with snow to keep it from blowing away, yet didn't bother to grab any clothes. And if debris is what caused their injuries, it seems like there would have been debris covering the tent. The mere fact that the tent was still there is testament to the assumption that the wind couldn't have been bad enough to force them to leave their shelter unclothed.
Also, the wind would've covered their tracks and bodies. And, the wind would've blown out and covered their little fire in the treeline. Thus, they probably wouldn't have been found so quickly.
Great video! This theory however doesnt address why they didnt grab anything at all from the tent. Also, some of the facts are incorrect. Dubininna's coat and hat were found on one of the other ravine 4 indicating that she died before the others. Also, kolmogorova, slobodin, and dyatlov were found facing up slope indicating that they perished on a return trip, not while leaving. They have proven that the fire under the cedar was kept lit for 1.5 - 2 hours and the people in the ravine perished up to 4hrs after that. It also appears they removed the branches in the cedar on the side facing the tent at a height of 6 meters giving them a clear view of the tent location, but why? It is clear that after 2-3 hours at the cedar, doroshenko and korvoshinko had perished and dyatlov, kolmogorova, and slobodin atempted to return for supplies while the remaining 4 atempted to build a shelter in the ravine. 2 of who died in a collapse of that shelter and the other 2 from exposure.
Cassandra's Eyes if you read more into the katabatic wind theory it actually does hold alot of water. This video is a very abreviated version of it and of the 2019 expedition findings. Also of note, there was a katabatic event recorded on the mountain the day after the 2019 expedition broke camp.
@@CaribbeanCryptoz yeah, they said it was ripped out by the root and because of the blood in her stomach, that it was likely ripped out while she was still alive
Being an avid follower of curious stories I've been aware of this one for many years. I greatly appreciate your dedication this is the first time I've heard this theory. And as I've been knocked down by a microburst in the Rocky Mountains. Buy my own experiences it seems completely plausible on all fronts.
Thanks so much for following up the story and uploading this video, and thanks to the team who put so much effort into solving this mystery and giving some sort of closure to the loved ones.
@@trevordavis6830 The “better” theory is the one that best fits all the evidence. Now, I’m not trying to convince you that aliens are visiting earth. I just want to stress how this new account fails to explain several important and striking findings when the hikers were discovered.
Thinking the exact same thing. Not plausible at all. If you have time for only one thing, instinctual it's going to be to put clothes on to stay warm and dry.
@Sylwia J. "let's protect the tent we just cut a massive hole in but leave our clothes" it makes no sense. Besides the description of this mountain is that it's actually a rather gentle slope more of a hill. The winds coming off of a hill can feel a little rough if you're not used to it but in an insulated tent it wouldn't be worth carving up your shelter.
@@ralcogaming7674 Did you miss what they said about frozen hands? You try getting clothes and boots out of the tent and putting them on after using them to dig up snow in those conditions.
@@tompatompsson the point is their hands weren't frozen until they went out without clothes on. It makes no sense why would you take off like this, take the time to cover the tent in snow but leave clothes. These aren't modern day idiots getting killed in hostile countries for Instagram fame these were experienced hikers, Russians no less who know what the cold has in store for them.
Fantastic video guys! Love Rich's narration and the artwork/music. Although I have to say that this new explanation, holds no more water for me than really any of the others. For them to have cut their way out of the their own tent instead of using the door, their injuries (some of them massive) and the behaviour, this explanation just doesn't cut it, really at all (IMO).
This makes absolutely no sense. It makes no sense that they would leave their tent if it collapsed, at least not without dressing properly. An experienced camper, like they were, would have gotten dressed and then went to secure the stakes/ropes to bring the tent back up. Even with heavy winds, the tent would not have been blown away with their gear, much less the hikers themselves, inside. In no circumstance would they have left naked and panicked yet took the time to pile snow on their tent and then hike off to their deaths.
What, haven't you ever 1) panicked and destroyed your own shelter, then 2) calmly and carefully worked to preserve that shelter (while not retrieving any survival gear from it), then 3) panicked again, then 4) calmly and carefully worked on a survival plan?
Camping during a blizzard accidentally w my dad as a kid and nope, even when snow dropped onto the tent in high winds - we didn't panic and righted it in without running naked into the snow.
It was no mere blizzard. There were downward rushing gales, throwing pine needles and bark into their flesh. They desperately cut their way out of the collapsed tent and tried to dig an ice cave that eventually collapsed on the one girl. The survivors took clothes off the dead, anything to fend off the cold. They had no chance get a fire going. There is no mystery about this group of amateur mountain climbers' tragic deaths. None.
I love that you went back to this with the light of the new hypothesis and evidence surrounding it. To me, it also seems a much more satisfying answer to what possibly could have happened, and your commitment to the details (like caring about correcting the zipper) and giving a good possible explanation by someone that cared very much about it to go that far, is highly commendable. Thank you. I also hope their loved ones can take some comfort out of knowing.
Would have been uploaded a week early for the Patreon people but seemingly set to public by accident rather than just for the Patreon folks so they removed it. Mystery solved.
That was put together really well, and makes a lot of sense. It might be a bit mundane answer but it's one of the more logical answers I've heard about this story.
I just find it hard to believe that even if there were gale force winds that they wouldn’t try and gather clothes and supplies before leaving their “main base” to walk that far and then try to walk back for items that you couldn’t of grabbed in the first place...just seems odd. Great vids!
It's bittersweet, I suppose. On one hand, it's comforting that at the very least there may have been no foul play at work. On the other hand, though, sometimes reality really isn't stranger than fiction. Much love to you for boldly covering these stories to the furthest extent that recorded knowledge allows.
Agreed. It's the unique combination of both that makes this channel of one best horror channels hands-down imo. Almost everyone else it comes hand down your preference as a narrator.

You guys HAVE TO DO a video on the USS Indianapolis! Please! I guarantee everyone would absolutely love it. One of the most *_terrifying_* real stories I've ever heard.
The only hole in this new theory is why the Dyatlov hikers wouldn’t realize the suicidal danger of leaving the tent, even if they thought it was going to collapse? If they really were so experienced, they would’ve, at the very least, sought to put on their winter clothes. Edit: So I’m seeing people in these comments talking about the onset of hypothermia making people feel warm. But again, you’d think someone in this group of supposedly experienced hikers would’ve said something.
Man I love this channel. Good job fella. Both the carefully studied, measured subject matter and the illustrations are wonderful. More man!!! More!! ;)
Hm...strange reaction to a collapsed tent in windy and cold conditons! I would think that staying inside the tent would be a lot more logican (even if it is collapsed...as long as you make sure you aren't burried)
I think they were being microwaved inside the tent and couldn't touch the zipper, thus cut their way out. Microwaved by "aliens" with DEW technology, who are working with the govts of the world in exchange for "alien" technology. The same "DEW" technology used to start all the "wildfires" in California. And the same "DEW" technology that they beta tested many years ago on select people (aka "spontaneous human combustion.") And Sasquatch are often in the company of these "UFO's", being human, animal, "alien" hybrids themselves (genetically manipulated creatures). "Aliens" = fallen angels/demons. Obviously, the govt knows what happened and are keeping it hidden. They always put their false narratives at the top of videos that contain subject matter that they don't want getting out to the mind controlled public.
You will suffocate in a collapsed tent. Also remember that the tent was exposed on the slope so the wind would have been horrendous. They had to get out and probably felt their best chance was to find protection downslope and then return when the wind died down. Meanwhile you keep the tent from flying away by covering it with snow, which wouldn't take long. The reason they died according to the theory is because this was a freak wind that never died down so they couldn't return to the tent and the temps dropped to like -50.
A few months ago, I was listening to an audiobook about this where the author argued it was infrasound that caused them to flee their tent. I've always thought of infrasound as a cop out theory, mainly because those who propose it can't recreate it. However, having watched this about the theory of Katabatic winds, I wonder if perhaps in this case the Katabatic winds and infrasound caused them to flee.
@@lilmoeszyslak4810 There are many grounds and details that the military was well involved in this mysterious case. Official facts show that the Russian army was at the scene at least 14 days earlier than what was known to the public until now. There are documents about that! Also, the thought that the Soviet army secured the place for 2 years and did not allow anyone to access that place for 2 to 3 years is very suspicious! Yuri Yudin's statement before his death that when he went there, there were military items in the tent that belonged to the military!The students have been killed by the KGB, that's for sure. The only question is how and why? Whether it was espionage or something they saw and should not have known, so they were liquidated, I do not know if it will be revealed.But it is more than certain that the KGB was aware of the cause of death of the students and today those documents are not allowed to appear in public!
Certain radiation from weapons could have caused them to feel as if their skin was on fire, which would cause them to run without putting clothes on in a complete panic
@@attoboi9763 The fact that the clothes of the four bodies found in May, which were the most mysterious and most mysterious in this case, proves two possibilities: "The first is that a rocket hit them with a kind of test poor uranium and caused a vacuum that probably created enough force to remove the soft tissue from the victims' faces as well as the eyes, eyelids and tongue of Dubinina, which was located closest to that bomb, which according to what I can deduce from the photos, the rocket exploded at a certain height in the sky. Because the contradiction of this claim is that nothing around the bodies has been touched! On the other hand, the bodies are broken to the point of unrecognizability! My second theory is more plausible to me that tTo complete the mosaic, there must be a factor of radioactive material. he four students managed to catch the predators, take them by helicopter to a military facility, and were harassed and beaten for some time.Were there any conspiracies from the then KGB to extract some information from the students who worked in nuclear plants. They were exposed to radioactive material in some way. For some time they were mistreated, their eyes were taken out with a knife, Tibo's neck was broken and he was killed. and Dubinina either screamed, or did not want to give secret information, and the villains cut off her tongue. After that they were returned by helicopter and a nearby place was chosen next to the other previously killed students, a place where there is the deepest snow, and the same bodies were thrown from a certain height. This fact is said by the identical injuries of the bodies.Internal fractures, with no visible major external injuries, because the fall was in deep snow and something like a man jumping from a great height into the water and getting internal fractures of the spine, skull, as well as parallel fractures of the ribs. The recent witness Yuri Yudin, who has found strange military items near the tent and suspects the Russian military, confirms his great suspicion by the fact that apparently the latest team of Russian forensic scientists who went only to the scene of the accident made a picnic with tea and biscuits and nothing else. Any professional forensic scientist will try to stage the same injuries on a cow or other animal, for example by throwing snow from a height.He will compare the same injuries and get an easy answer if he wants to. But someone in Russia deliberately does not want the villains to be discovered! Herein lies the answer to all this tragic story!
I'm a big fan of these mysterious stories and you do a terrific job of presenting the information. I really like the drawing/sketches that accompany these videos.
New sub, I found your channel due to looking for videos on this tragic horrific case. Thank you for your excellent information on this ♥️ RIP Brave Souls 😢💔 I truly pray these souls are being loved and cared for in heaven 🙏🏽💔 Thank you ♥️♥️
So glad you guys returned to this topic. It’s so interesting and I had a feeling there was a bit more to look at with this event. Thank you for the great work you guys do.
You've evidently never been in a really strong wind. It's entirely possible. But it might just as easily been blowing debris of any kind, twigs, brush, ice...
@@baruchben-david4196 We only have the forensic evidence from Soviet authorities who I don't trust to begin with, and I am wondering why the injuries were only on the upper parts of the bodies if they were pelted by wind-blown debris. And your hands would be so frozen that biting your knuckle in those conditions wouldn't help keep you conscious.
Haven't you ever seen a hurricane or tornado? The wind can absolutely cause serious injuries when debris are blowing around. To attribute the less serious injuries of this incident to objects that were blown around isn't unreasonable at all. And as far as why they didn't grab their bags.... Perhaps they panicked and couldn't find them in the chaos, and in their fear they weren't thinking logically. Who knows honestly. But the fact that something similar happened to another group, and a survivor was able to explain an event that was very similar to this would suggest that it's not just a ridiculous theory
Winds flattened their tent on top of them. I'd figure that'd cause enough of a panic as to want to get the hell out, hence the stabbing through the tent. It might be unlikely that all of them would forget to take their bags, but it's not impossible since people are typically driven to irrationality when a life-threatening surprise hits them in the face. I do have to say though it's the most plausible theory.
I think the thing to remember is that experience doesn't make you immune to panic. You can be well-prepared and still find yourself in a situation you didnt see coming. And once somebody panics, it doesn't necessarily take long for the situation to go FUBAR.
Very well done! Great job on the narration, the writing of the program, and great job on the artwork. Thank-you for your hard work and putting together this informative program. Super job!
Thank you so much for another excellent video, keep up your good work. And let's be honest this is an interesting theory based on sound logic and not just theoretical speculation. Let me say a couple of things though. I'm a mountaineer and outdoorsman and I have always looked at this from an outdoor person's perspective. I'm clear that to leave boots and life essential equipment the group were running for their lives... Why has remained a mystery and has fuelled so much speculation. Many years ago I was climbing in Western Nepal and was caught in a short savage storm that was not expected. Under the pressure of the wind my tent collapsed due to insufficient staking out, this happened in the middle in the night in complete darkness. It was a disorientating, scary and very cold. Nevertheless, I calmly turned on the head torch. My climbing mate sat up to create some space. I put on my hat, my mid layer jacket, my salopettes, my down jacket, my polypropylene gloves, my fleece gloves, my plastic boots and finally I put my goretex over mitts on . I'm guessing in the wind chill and white out conditions it was at least - 35c maybe more. I could barely stand in the wind. It took my an hour to secure the tent. Nothing would have made me leave that tent without essential clothing as that is deadly, nothing short of imminent death would make me abandon the tent, as that is also deadly. The actions I took that night are instinctive to a mountaineer. Perhaps, this latest theory is the explanation. Perhaps, not..... I know one thing those young people ran for their lives in a manner that suggests they were in terror.
My thoughts literally. While I’m not a mountaineer at all, the only way I would ever leave shelter in such conditions without proper clothing is if my life was in immediate danger from something that would scare me beyond reason.
Exactly. They might have been scared by an unknown sound that they believed the sound source was getting closer and thus they couldn’t waste any time in getting away.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: the respect you guys present to the victims of these real life tragedies is so heartwarming that I see my faith in humanity restored. Keep it up!
There are still a few things that don't seem to fit but this theory does make some good guesses. Though as mentioned, we'll likely never know; and perhaps that's for the best... Great work as always!
It is the most compelling theory thus far, explaining every part of the tragic end of the students at Dyatlov’s with a scientific explanation, although putting and end to a 60 year-long mistery is always difficult, nobody wants to let go on a good mistery... Also, the artwork on this episode was particularly beautifull and detailed! Congrats to Mikey on it!
Out of any explanation I've ever heard this one has to be the best. I'm from an area that receives sudden violent wind/ thunderstorms so it makes sense to me. There was an incident where my mom nearly took me to an oktoberfest celebration but at the last minute we decided not to go because my mom had a bad feeling about it. Sudden downburst collapsed the tent and injured quite a few people. No way to see it coming. If it were below freezing I could absolutely see people dying. It's just nobody thinks of wind as being dangerous but it is.
I just tapped this video so hard. Been looking forward to this one. Alright so I'm curious. If the Swedish incident was a mirror of this event, why wasn't this theory about what happened more of a thing before this? This does seem like the most plausible explanation, so I'm surprised it didn't come up before this. Other questions I have for people who know better include; why didn't they camp closer to the trees? Why didn't they apparently have access to any layers they could put on quickly before going out? I understand they mightve panicked but they were experienced hikers
Why do people not know of paradoxical undressing... I thought it was common knowledge that with extreme hypothermia your body feels likes its burning and causes people to undress
why didn't they camp closer to the trees?.... Excellent question, one of the first ones i had when i heard about it all.... There are many variations about it, i know three different possible answers to it, if you are truly curious, reply to me, it will show me that you are really interested about it and i will type it up for you... i have gotten so weary to type stuff to people who actually don't even care, or already have some weird concepts formed in their minds, and i am just plain tried to argue with dumb people...
@@declaringpond2276 This still doesn't really make sense, they *left* the tent undressed but then survived for several more hours, and some took clothing from the dead. If they were that far into hypothermia, they couldn't have survived that much longer, and if they felt like they were burning why would they have built a fire or taken one another's clothes?
@@Julia_F_i_r I'm curious as to what you have to say about why they didn't camp closer to the trees. I honestly can't come up with a possible answer myself and it's one of the nagging questions I have that cross over all the theories.
Thanks for revisiting this topic. Ever since I saw your original 2-part coverage of the incident, I've wondered what could possibly have driven the hikers out of their tent with so little in the way of clothing & equipment. This newer theory does indeed seem more plausible than the rest.
“I’m gonna find out how these experienced hikers died horribly by reenacting the incident that killed them and taking notes” Hats off to you Mr. Holmgren you absolute mad lad
Tbh they had emergency provisions, and hired an experienced hunter on standby as well as letting people know where they were going.
Unless im thinking of another researcher
How can u re-enact it if you don’t know what killed them

@@theia1653 I am in!
I am an experienced outdoorsman, my inclination in a sudden and severe weather event if already inside a tent would be to stay put. Even if the tent collapsed, it would still provide some shelter. The large group's combined body heat and all their equipment would have been a better chance of survival than going out into subzero temperatures in a raging gale, partially clothed. The Swedish group's circumstances were different. They were struck by the weather event before they had a chance to get the tent up. Those are my thoughts anyway, I don't think we'll ever know for certain what happened to the group in the Ural Mountains. So sad, all those talented individuals perished way before their time.
totally agree
_"The large group's combined body heat and all their equipment would have been a better chance of survival than going out into subzero temperatures in a raging gale, partially clothed."_
Maybe even if it was "just" wind they somehow got convinced that an avalanche had started and escaped in a hurry because of that and that. they might then have been unable to go back to the tent because of the nighttime, cold and extreme weather.
edmon dantes if they thought an avalanche was coming why would they not get dressed and then use their hands to bury part of tent? Then run off in a hurried panic. Nearly naked.
russian big foot !
Agree.💀
I really appreciate you wishing the victims ever lasting peace in each episode. Its a small thing but plenty of channels bask in the suffering of what ever incidents they’re talking about with no mention to the suffering their fellow man suffered so they could make a video .
Well said!
It always sounds weird to me. Like insisting on saying "god bless you" after someone sneezes. Someone dies and the response is "rest in peace." They're these odd, archaic phrases to ward off ill health and restless spirits of the damned.
Or it makes me ask, "Are you legitimately concerned that they aren't 'resting in peace?'"

I love the respect this channel gives to those affected by these horrible incidents. It's honorable.
Maybe others who have actually done winter camping can chime in with their thoughts... but I have done some and I can tell you that from my experience, there is absolutely nothing barring an act of god that would convince me to walk off into the snowy night without the proper clothing. If the wind blows your tent down in the middle of the night, you wake up and fix it.
I dont think you understand how fast the condition changed and how violent it changed. Think of the worst hurricane and then put it in the snow

@@peterd4047 do you think that the tent they were in would have held up? i mean look at their bodies , they had broken bones and cuts . They needed to find better shelter. Would you stay in a Tent when a Tornado was only a few hundred feet from you ?

@@noaholsson5379 *butchered
Hey thanks for the upload. I've never heard of this theory before but it does really well to address so many/all of the factors(from what I know myself)...I think we may be at a point where such a "mundane" explanation might never appease everyone.. I've personally always thought of the hikers' as real hero's and even I to a degree find it difficult to accept weather as an answer for such a tragic loss but it kinda feels somewhat similar to when a much loved artist or celebrity dies from something completely normal - it's hard to accept it was something so simple and unavoidable especially when there's sealed documents or persistent rumours etc etc.. Anyway I think you're right in that we'll never truly know but it's right also that questions are being asked and their memory kept alive...that is of course unless something nudges loose from Russia or the reopening of the case which I read a wee while ago is happening... X.
“... which we incorrectly described as zipped in our previous videos...”
NOBODY ELSE would’ve cared about that. But YOU GUYS cared about that. The level of attention and detail that goes into these videos always blows me away.
Not that big of a deal bruh
It's nice to see the effort these guys put in. That level of attention to detail may not seem like a big deal to some but I agree with you Daniel.
Yep. And buttons would have taken valuable moments that unzipping wouldn't have required -- especially with chilled fingers.
It's actually a relevant small detail that would explain the slashes, so they had to bring it up.
Or they could have corrected the original video, instead of using it as a way to an air of credence and logic to their new video.

just one question: How two half frozen, half naked, panicked individuals manage to gather wood and lit a fire in the middle of a gale?
The members that were crushed and had their bones broken had taken the clothes of the first group after they died. They had just enough to make a small fire, but not a big enough one to provide enough heat

@@chillinggrin84 ok, and how did they light a fire in a gale?

I can't see anyone spending the time to throw snow on the tent to keep it from blowing away, yet not bothering to take the time to put on shoes or some decent clothes... And this theory doesn't explain the bodies being moved after death either. It's a decent theory but yet again it doesn't hold up all that well when you look closer.
Maybe the bodies moved due to snow melting? I don’t buy this theory either btw.
@@danilonakazone386 I wish the melting snow would take me home from work.
I think the snow on the tent was blown onto it by the wind after it collapsed. As for bodies moving, that's quite common outdoors. Wind, water, snow, animals, and wild CSI teams all move the bodies around.
Maybe their clothes were wet and they were trying to dry it out first before wearing it. Cold wind blowing on wet clothes would make you feel colder than cold wind blowing on dry clothes.
It's possible the Russian military or whoever it was that found the camp found the bodies but didn't report them. Of course this also depends on how the bodies were found (face up or face down) before being moved
The tent collapses, they cut their way out, then leave behind all of their survival clothing and equipment and go off into the wilderness in street clothes (and less). Why did they (apparently) panic and run from the tent initially? This panic took place AFTER an attempt to stabilize the tent with snow? If time was taken to stabilize the tent, why wasn't time taken (first, before covering the tent with snow) to retrieve essential items (like shoes!)? If they maintained their wits long enough to cover the tent with snow, why did they then panic? How could anyone tell snow purposefully packed onto the tent from snow that blew onto it after the tent was abandoned? If the wind was sufficiently strong to blow objects around to make the projectiles capable of injuring members of the party, the wind could have blown the torch or headlamp onto the tent. (And why would anyone place it there? Maybe it went out, but then it would have been merely discarded. Was it turned on when left behind, to mark the position of the tent? - A comment below says it was off. I didn't catch that in the video. - This would suggest they were already planning on returning to the tent. If they were planning on leaving the tent, why did they not take critical survival gear with them? The key word here is PLAN. These were experienced outdoors people. If they were making a plan - stabilize the tent - why wasn't the plan directed to the critical and obvious need, which was to survive the conditions OUTSIDE of the tent?)
Sorry, still doesn't wash. Any explanation has to encompass all of the facts. The panicked flight from the tent is consistent with their rapid egress through a hole cut through it from the inside. Something caused that panic. There have been MANY instances in mountaineering literature of tents being collapsed or hit by snow slides. In none of them do I recall reading that the incidents caused panic beyond the rush to get out to avoid suffocation. After that, vital survival gear is invariably recovered. I don't believe I've read of a single instance of such an event that caused the tent occupants to panic by running from the tent, or surmising they could better survive away from the tent and their gear. Something caused them to abandon the tent, something terrifying enough to prevent them from recovering equipment vital to their survival. Yes, people do sometimes act irrationally due to hypothermia, but I'm talking about their initial actions within the very first seconds of leaving the tent, well before their judgment could have been affected by the cold.
I'm reading other comments now after posting mine. I thought I'd be the only nutcase saying "No way!" I'm gratified to see I'm not. I have the good company of several other nutcases! LOL
that's exactly what I was thinking, It doesn't make any sense. I have no idea what could've scared them so much, that they fled the camp in panic, half naked, leaving everything behind, knowing well, that in that state they probably wouldn't make it
Why would they camp on the mountain side? Did something drive them out of the shelter of the forest ? Away from the firewood? No theory makes sense.
They rushed out the tent = Something horrible life threatening thing occurred suddenly. The remaining 4 didn't head back to tent to grab their things & life support items = They afraid to go back, because of life threatening thing. Chest rib bone broken without soft tissue damage = being killed by either super natural power or advance high tech weapon. Radioactive = Hints the presence of advance weapon or tools. Missing tongue = someone or something didn't want the victim to have the ability to ever speak out again. The missing eyes = The victims had witness something in details and the "Thing" want to wipe off the eye as the "Witness". The scene only has the hiker's footprints, no other, no animal footprints = Hints the presence of "something" that is not existed in normal world, either super natural entity or high tech floating vehicle/flying suit, etc. The "thing" killed the victims with the condition of "wiping" the eyes and tongue = The "thing" was so offended and became mad that "it" want to triple confirm the hikers were never able to respond and leak and information about "him".
Well said, personally I think the KGB had something to do with it, as the Russian government was always hiding things and being sketchy. Perhaps they accidentally set up camp near a place they weren’t supposed to see?
Edit: and forced at gun point to leave the area, though I’d rather a bullet than freeze to death myself so who knows
That is the most vexing question. Why adandon their tent while leaving protective clothing (even shoes) behind? They feared something even more than the freezing cold, but what?
Whats the logic in running away from the cold without wearing their other layers? I don't think this was a 'I think we should go' situation. I think this was more of a 'we need to go now' scenario, and I dont think winds could've made experienced hikers enter the freezing cold without layers or even boots.
The obvious is that there was no logic. But a present and shared fear. Immediate and not foreseen. Join the dots.
Like the sudden "compelling" force. Oh. And the undeveloped photos of the trip.
I totally share your opinion.
What I wrote earlier:
This theory doesnt make any sense either, even if they got affected by strong winds, why would you leave your tents without your cloths or shoes. That would mean certain death, atleast put on all your cloths before you leave..
Number #1 theory should be that either the military or other people attacked them, and murdered them, and covered their tracks.
If the clothes were wet, say, from their sweat, then putting them on is a quicker suicide as remaining in your underwear.
@@_Muzolf were the clothes wet. OR in the process of drying when the journey became abbreviated. What made them take the clothes off was the apparent cause of the semi nudity. What prevented them from re-clothing was another sudden factor. But.. have a look at the pictures they took. Obviously the work of fraternity pranks, vodka and a menk.
When trying to piece together the pieces, do not forget to factor in the complete darkness of the location. I read there was only a quarter moon on that date, and the moon didn't rise until around 3 AM. If you live in a city or a town, you have no idea how dark "dark" can be. You literally can not see your hand in front of your face.
Yes and fear, maybe some sounds, panic spreads if one member is start to run I think a lot of them would follow him without thinking.
@@8293nokinho Yup people tend to forget these are young adults and may not have been mature enough to absorb their limited training
Which makes their leaving the tent all the more inexplicable. They were made to leave that tent by someone or some group.
This does make some sense, but keep in mind the environment. Think about what it is like outdoors at night when everything is covered in snow. Even with only starlight the snow has a way of reflecting light that makes it possible to see far better than the same light conditions without snow.
How did the tent survive the supposedly hurricane-force wind? If the hikers had time to shovel snow on top of the tent to prevent it from being blown away or torn to shreds, then they would have had time to unbutton the door properly and to get dressed. This theory has just as many holes as the other theories.
Good point. I was wondering how footprints in the snow would remain after all that time if such powerful winds were occurring.
@@LoneCloudHopper exactly... Gale force winds depositing feet of snow, but the footprints/flashlight/tent are still there? IDK
Absolutely spot on, Brendan. And if the winds were so bad, how did they start a fire?
Thank you, my thoughts too. While a solid theory it still doesn't account for everything.
Great observation! I'm ashamed that I didn't think of it. 🐱
An amazing video as always. While supernatural explanations can be compelling and interesting, they are more often than not a mere attempt to fill an unknown.
There is, however, a rather important detail which you didn't really cover in this video, namely that there where two bivouacs. The second being the hideout for Dytlov, Kolmogorova and Slobodin. They would have witnessed the collapse of the other bivouac, killing their friends almost instantaneous, while they where in no shape to help. Likely fearing a similarly fate they braved the elements in a last ditch effort to return to their tent, ultimately dying one by one, hence their bodies lying towards the tent. You can read this hypothesis at the tail-end of the article you yourself have linked.
This will be my very first comment on youtube; this is how good your content is. Keep up the stellar work.
Interesting, because everyone is just assuming that Slobodin fell first and eventually died before anyone knew he fell, then, Krivonoshenko and Doreshenki dying next, then Dytlov and Kolomogrova next to die, and then the other four died last. Never would have thought of that.
The swedish guy's hypothesis and theory fleshed out in his blog post (iirc cited as a source in the katabatic wind section of the wiki article) I feel is the best possible explanation; certain elements of the official 2019 Russian re-investigation are fine, some are just bad old tripe. This timeline treats them as competent people, and he says that they reacted exactly how they should have in most cases. It's also compelling because it's at once a man vs nature story, a tragedy, heroic, scary, and a horror movie in terms of the plot and pacing. Things spiral out of control for unforeseeable reasons, the people have no further agency, every last bit of hope is dangled and then torn away, their friends die in groups, and then there's those last ditch ones going back up into the most impossible thing imaginable; up a mountain, into the mostly unknown, in likely -65c/-85f low Category 1 hurricane level winds blowing directly down the mountain into their faces, with no hope of salvation at the tents even if they reach it. And as the last few are left behind to freeze, they're the only person around for likely dozens of miles. They don't even get close.
Weren't the bodies leading back toward the tent found moved after death though, presumably to strip them of their remaining clothing? That version doesn't fit very well with how well and poorly clothed the various cadavers were found, as you'd assume the best-dressed members of the expedition to be the ones who survived the longest, as a general statement, both due to more clothing helping, and survivors taking clothes from the dead as a matter of survival.
I don't think a 2nd bivouac for those members of the group scans properly. Maybe they tried building one, but had to build a 2nd for a better location or something, I don't know.
Parker Dixon-Word Could you cite where they were found moved after death, and where you get the idea they're poorly dressed? It's been a couple months, but I don't recall any of that.
And no, paradoxical undressing can play havoc with all sorts of things, though I don't recall this very well tbh and I'm not doing the research again; though iirc some of them in the ice caves (and the ones on the way back to the tent?) were found with clothing of people who died around the campfire/ etc, so that does create an order.
Why does a second bivouac not "scan?" One was found right near the collapsed one, and it makes sense as snow caves are limited in size by the poor structural capability of snow. I really can't decipher your last sentence either, so if you could rephrase it that'd be great
Why leave your warm clothing shelter and shoes behind tho? This is a clear fear panic response.
The reason they set up a tent in the first place is to protect themselves from the chilling wind and temperature right?
If the climbers felt a sudden drop in temperature and freezing wind, wouldn't their first instinct be to put warmer clothes on and stay closer together instead of hurrying outside their tents with only light clothes on?
And to leave in such a hurry and still have time to try put snow on their tent is just so unlikely.
If they had enough time to put snow on their crumpling tent, wouldn't they at least have enough time to fully dress before venturing away?
The Swedish case is not really comparable because they didn't have time to set up their tent yet.
But they still try to stay at the shallow hole they've dug, because they knew they couldn't run anyway better.
So why would the people in the Russian case try to run away if it's only from cold temperature?
You just can't go anyway better than staying in your tent.
To me, the key mystery still remains as to why they left the relative safety of their tent in such a hurry in the first place.
Yeah, the part that still doesn't make sense is the clothing. Like you say, why stick around to try to bury the tent in enough snow that it doesn't blow away but not grab warmer clothes?
What about the torn out tongue?
Very sensible reasoning Supernova! Also, why would they run across the slope then suddenly begin walking in single file? Were they tired? Wouldn't they have liked to huddle together in the sheer cold, with the unclothed people more protected?
Yeah I'm of the opinion that they were killed to prevent them from talking about something. What I don't know. But the people killing them wanted to hide the manner of death and tried to make it look like a yeti attack.
@@marhawkman303 look to missing 411 . It's not what you might think.
"Yeah, let's walk away from our tent without taking our backpacks or clothes because the weather is getting worse..."
Honestly, it makes no sense.
you have no idea what you are talking about. their clothes were wet and off of them and they did not know they were going to hit by the avalanche of frigid dense air which is exactly what it was. The weather was not "getting worse". They were hit by the air at the exact location it would be strongest as if near the bottom of an avalanche area. they were approaching the cut in the mountains exactly where these "flash floods" of cold dense air blast down. you need to watch some of the abundant videos on katabatic winds uploaded including a recent national geographic video of climbing mountains in antarctica where they were hit by these winds but survived and then had to make various camps at the base of cliffs. so maybe you should reassess your logic circuits.
@@jaysilverheals4445 since you're so smart, maybe you can explain why they wouldn't put any of their clothes on? No boots. No coats. No gear. No nothing. Clothes are wet so we might as well leave everything behind. And yes, the wind so bad that a little snow can hold down the tent, but they themselves, all nine of them, well over a thousand pounds of human flesh couldn't?

This is a massively intriguing mystery, I've listened to everything available on YT.

The answer I can't find a satisfactory answer to is what would panic them so much that they wouldn't at least grab hold of their boots and coats even if they didn't have time to put them on?
I believe they were abducted and mutilated and then dropped back on the mountain. Nothing will change my mind on this.

I'm very curious by the way, who is responsible for the artwork featured in these videos? I'm especially impressed by the landscape art scenes. Please pass along my compliments to the artist. I see many well-deserved compliments to the writing and narration but none (as far as I've seen that is) for the impressive art that helps bring these stories to life! I was hoping to find information in the description but sadly there was nothing. Anyway, fantastic quality! This is by far the best account of this story that I've ever found. Keep it up!
Edit: So after subscribing and visiting the actual channel, I was pleased to see that the headline video has answered my question! Awesome!
It is quite nice
Honestly I think they chalked real pics.
It's a nice theory, and makes sense of some of the stranger aspects of the story, however it is still conjecture, with multiples holes, and questions raised.
But my radioactive demons from another dimension theory... :(
LMFAO
Idk bro I still think it was Ukranian hentai mole people from the future
Haha the film devils pass is how I came to the topic. I think it were aliens and the government knows it. Because they are in contact with them
I've heard weirder theories on this particular case either way, and the gravitic wind theory seems the most supported overall by what evidence we have. Granted, I'll admit it doesn't explain the singed treetops and the radiation but the radioactive clothing is likely, as was explained in the videos, due to the students having worked with radioactive substances in the lab. Back in the '50s, proper protective measures against ionizing radiation was sparse and fairly primitive compared to today. Back then scientists didn't entirely understand the dangers of what they were working with. It wouldn't be too far fetched to say that the students' clothing and even skin may have been contaminated
Sorry bro, discard it along your Snoke theory.
Heavy winds blowing the tent down would still not be adequate reason to leave it. I'm no expert on this subject, but I think it's a safe bet that the tent is safer than being outside with little clothes on, even if the tent was collapsed. The sudden wind could have startled them into thinking that there was an avalanche, but even that doesn't make sense because they would have figured out everything was okay long before running a mile from their tent with socks on or bare feet.
That is what Yudin said (the one who left early). In those conditions you never leave your tent. The tent is your life. I still believe they were forced out at gunpoint and made to walk a mile without shoes...
One would think the wiser choice would be to hunker down
@@Angel-nu7fm I agree and I highly suspect the 38 year old in the group.
@@samspielmann7704 That was my thinking too. I've lived my whole life in California and have probably only seen snow maybe 5 times in my life. That's why I don't consider myself an expert, but it sure seems to me like remaining in the tent would be the best option.
@@Troyster94806 Yeah they all knew he was the KGB plant. People forget this was sub-freezing weather. You don't walk a mile without shoes unless you are forced to. And the seriousness of the injuries of the second group was withheld for 30 years....Alot of the knuckle injuries are consistent with hand to hand fighting. I agreed with the female Russian criminologist who says they were murdered.
Very well thought out theory, and definitely the most plausible.
Thank you for this update, and for showing these poor souls the respect they deserve.

While much of this new theory makes sense the idea that anyone would leave their shelter without putting their shoes and clothes on is insane.

@rynu your could be onto something in a previous video, people pointed out that the wind could of sounded like an avalanche, the snow under them could of been moved or maybe the Russian military did do something b it this was launch flares spooking the veteran, triggering PTSD in him as he believed their position was going to be shelled. When they bursted put, they may of planed to go a short but check where the flare fell (ie is it above us or behind the hill we are on, if behind we can stand here and wait) unfortunately the katibatic wind hit. Forcing them down to the trees. Explaining the formation march.
@@kitfisto1827 the tent did not blow away. It was still up when the search helicopter went over it, with all their gear still neatly stacked inside. Slices of ham ton a plate. All the backpacks lining the sides of the tent. Cocoa in mugs.
I realize I am very very likely wrong and have a massive flaw in my reasoning that I’m too stupid to realize lol, but couldn’t they just stay in the tent? If they all stayed In the tent and huddled could they not stay warm enough even if the supports and roof collapsed? It would still be 8 or 9 people or whatever in essentially a big sealed blanket, no? Or would the wind still be too much ?
Or if they did have to leave - would they not at least put on shoes and a jacket? Or at the very least take their shoes/coat with them? A group of such experienced hikers would surely know that if they had to leave the tent to survive, that survival outside of their only shelter would depend on their ability to keep warm enough as not to freeze to death...which would undoubtedly happen with their running out into the snow, ice and freezing winds barefoot and half naked. Also, CenturianEagle, no question is stupid and every question is worth asking. Your reasoning is no less valuable than that of anyone else. One of the biggest problems in the world today is that people no longer use their critical thinking or dot connecting abilities. Well, most people anyways. Also, most people are too afraid of being wrong to voice their thoughts, questions and opinions. There's nothing wrong with being wrong or failing because we learn from our mistakes. Just my 2 cents.
I think the fear and basic human instinct would over come any rational decisions,especially given the extreme surroundings. If that makes sense? X
Cee Jay thanks cee jay
CenturianEagle It was most likely just basic human instinct for survival overcoming any logical reasoning… Which happens ALOT in tragic scenarios.
@@mariemarie2888 It actually does.
Sounds like the most plausible theory and glad the narrator is back 👍🏻
Indeed, it covers pretty much all bases. There are some minor details left unexplained, like that mysterious photograph of a humanoid figure, but that could've been explained as being briefly followed by someone who had no connection to the incident and soon left them alone, to the students themselves messing around or trying to fabricate evidence of the existence of the so called "mountain men" in order to play a prank on their friends...

They cover things that appear supernatural but also gives very "rational explanations".
The Swedish-Russian Dyatlov Expedition deserves a fair amount of recognition for the amount of time and effort that went into developing the 'katabatic' wind theory. And although I highly commend the groups efforts, I can't help but feel that it doesn't explain the events of that night. There are a few things that the theory misstates, or misunderstands from the case files. Among these are:
- at least two witnesses stated that the Chinese-made flash light found lying on top of the tent, was turned off when searchers arrived. Slobstov even testified that it turned on when he tested it. This flashlight was never intended to be used as a beacon by the Dyatlov group.
- although the tent was found to have been pitched laterally to the ground, the group had cleared an 'L-shaped' notch in the slope so that the full-force of the wind would pass up and over the tent. The slope side of the tent would have been blocked by a wall of snow and would not have been subject to the full force of the wind.
- the 3 found on the slope were found facing the tent. We can only assume that they were trying to return to the tent and did not collapse on their way down the slope as the Swedish-Russian group theorizes. At what point they decided to turn around we may never know.
- the 4 found at the ravine stayed at the fire until, at least, Doroshenko and Krivonischenko died. We can assume this because clothing used to make the den were from pulled from Yuri D. and Yuri K. after death.
- Something not mentioned in the video but which the 'katabatic' wind theory states is that the crushing injuries on Zolotaryov and Dubinini were caused by a gradual compression over time even though autopsies state that it was not gradual but rather an instant force similar to what would occur in a car accident. During an even more recent autopsy of Zolotaryov by a forensic pathologist, he stated that the force was instant and was not a gradual compression over time.
I vastly prefer this to any other explanation. It really makes the most amount of sense, taking just about everything into account. There's enough weirdness left in the world with this logical explanation. Not everything is a vast government conspiracy, nor need it be. Rogue waves and wind are weird enough as it is, and hell, *those* could be caused by weird and supernatural phenomena. But as for the Dyatlov Pass incident, this explanation satisfies me.
AMAZING, SAD, INFORMATIVE . THOSE POOR PEOPLE.

Imagine if at least one of them survived, the tale they would have to tell.
They would have told the truth about what really happened to these people. And to whom ever survived. But something or someone didn't want the truth told. Or to be found out by anyone ever. So but I know someday someone will tell the truth to someone. What took place.
Narrator: "In fact they were perfectly safe"
Entire hiker group: *dies
It's hard to imagine they had the time and presence of mind to weight their tent with snow to keep it from blowing away, yet didn't bother to grab any clothes. And if debris is what caused their injuries, it seems like there would have been debris covering the tent. The mere fact that the tent was still there is testament to the assumption that the wind couldn't have been bad enough to force them to leave their shelter unclothed.
This is exactly what I was thinking.
Also, the wind would've covered their tracks and bodies. And, the wind would've blown out and covered their little fire in the treeline. Thus, they probably wouldn't have been found so quickly.
This video is a total about face from the first two. Read the coroner's reports.
Great video! This theory however doesnt address why they didnt grab anything at all from the tent. Also, some of the facts are incorrect. Dubininna's coat and hat were found on one of the other ravine 4 indicating that she died before the others. Also, kolmogorova, slobodin, and dyatlov were found facing up slope indicating that they perished on a return trip, not while leaving.
They have proven that the fire under the cedar was kept lit for 1.5 - 2 hours and the people in the ravine perished up to 4hrs after that.
It also appears they removed the branches in the cedar on the side facing the tent at a height of 6 meters giving them a clear view of the tent location, but why?
It is clear that after 2-3 hours at the cedar, doroshenko and korvoshinko had perished and dyatlov, kolmogorova, and slobodin atempted to return for supplies while the remaining 4 atempted to build a shelter in the ravine. 2 of who died in a collapse of that shelter and the other 2 from exposure.
Agreed. Wind that extreme would have blown their tent completely away with everything in it, including them.
Cassandra's Eyes if you read more into the katabatic wind theory it actually does hold alot of water. This video is a very abreviated version of it and of the 2019 expedition findings.
Also of note, there was a katabatic event recorded on the mountain the day after the 2019 expedition broke camp.
Im not buying it

@Sylwia J. "let's protect the tent we just cut a massive hole in but leave our clothes" it makes no sense.

@@ralcogaming7674 Did you miss what they said about frozen hands? You try getting clothes and boots out of the tent and putting them on after using them to dig up snow in those conditions.
@@tompatompsson the point is their hands weren't frozen until they went out without clothes on. It makes no sense why would you take off like this, take the time to cover the tent in snow but leave clothes.

Fantastic video guys! Love Rich's narration and the artwork/music. Although I have to say that this new explanation, holds no more water for me than really any of the others. For them to have cut their way out of the their own tent instead of using the door, their injuries (some of them massive) and the behaviour, this explanation just doesn't cut it, really at all (IMO).
This makes absolutely no sense. It makes no sense that they would leave their tent if it collapsed, at least not without dressing properly. An experienced camper, like they were, would have gotten dressed and then went to secure the stakes/ropes to bring the tent back up. Even with heavy winds, the tent would not have been blown away with their gear, much less the hikers themselves, inside.
In no circumstance would they have left naked and panicked yet took the time to pile snow on their tent and then hike off to their deaths.
What, haven't you ever 1) panicked and destroyed your own shelter, then 2) calmly and carefully worked to preserve that shelter (while not retrieving any survival gear from it), then 3) panicked again, then 4) calmly and carefully worked on a survival plan?
Werrf1 also, it was the MIDDLE OF PITCH BLACK NIGHT
They may have thought the downward rushing wind was the result of avalanche.
Camping during a blizzard accidentally w my dad as a kid and nope, even when snow dropped onto the tent in high winds - we didn't panic and righted it in without running naked into the snow.
It was no mere blizzard. There were downward rushing gales, throwing pine needles and bark into their flesh. They desperately cut their way out of the collapsed tent and tried to dig an ice cave that eventually collapsed on the one girl. The survivors took clothes off the dead, anything to fend off the cold. They had no chance get a fire going. There is no mystery about this group of amateur mountain climbers' tragic deaths. None.
I love that you went back to this with the light of the new hypothesis and evidence surrounding it. To me, it also seems a much more satisfying answer to what possibly could have happened, and your commitment to the details (like caring about correcting the zipper) and giving a good possible explanation by someone that cared very much about it to go that far, is highly commendable.

Hm...strange reaction to a collapsed tent in windy and cold conditons! I would think that staying inside the tent would be a lot more logican (even if it is collapsed...as long as you make sure you aren't burried)
I think they were being microwaved inside the tent and couldn't touch the zipper, thus cut their way out. Microwaved by "aliens" with DEW technology, who are working with the govts of the world in exchange for "alien" technology. The same "DEW" technology used to start all the "wildfires" in California. And the same "DEW" technology that they beta tested many years ago on select people (aka "spontaneous human combustion.") And Sasquatch are often in the company of these "UFO's", being human, animal, "alien" hybrids themselves (genetically manipulated creatures). "Aliens" = fallen angels/demons. Obviously, the govt knows what happened and are keeping it hidden. They always put their false narratives at the top of videos that contain subject matter that they don't want getting out to the mind controlled public.
@Reese Daniel
Do you theorize that Sasquatch are inter dimensional creatures that harvest souls for planet seeding elsewhere?
You will suffocate in a collapsed tent. Also remember that the tent was exposed on the slope so the wind would have been horrendous. They had to get out and probably felt their best chance was to find protection downslope and then return when the wind died down. Meanwhile you keep the tent from flying away by covering it with snow, which wouldn't take long. The reason they died according to the theory is because this was a freak wind that never died down so they couldn't return to the tent and the temps dropped to like -50.

A few months ago, I was listening to an audiobook about this where the author argued it was infrasound that caused them to flee their tent.

However, having watched this about the theory of Katabatic winds, I wonder if perhaps in this case the Katabatic winds and infrasound caused them to flee.
one is the most certain: the injuries of the four students most affected indicate the bodies were thrown from a flying object such as a helicopter.

@@lilmoeszyslak4810 There are many grounds and details that the military was well involved in this mysterious case.

Also, the thought that the Soviet army secured the place for 2 years and did not allow anyone to access that place for 2 to 3 years is very suspicious! Yuri Yudin's statement before his death that when he went there, there were military items in the tent that belonged to the military!The students have been killed by the KGB, that's for sure. The only question is how and why? Whether it was espionage or something they saw and should not have known, so they were liquidated, I do not know if it will be revealed.But it is more than certain that the KGB was aware of the cause of death of the students and today those documents are not allowed to appear in public!

Because the contradiction of this claim is that nothing around the bodies has been touched! On the other hand, the bodies are broken to the point of unrecognizability! My second theory is more plausible to me that tTo complete the mosaic, there must be a factor of radioactive material. he four students managed to catch the predators, take them by helicopter to a military facility, and were harassed and beaten for some time.Were there any conspiracies from the then KGB to extract some information from the students who worked in nuclear plants. They were exposed to radioactive material in some way. For some time they were mistreated, their eyes were taken out with a knife, Tibo's neck was broken and he was killed. and Dubinina either screamed, or did not want to give secret information, and the villains cut off her tongue. After that they were returned by helicopter and a nearby place was chosen next to the other previously killed students, a place where there is the deepest snow, and the same bodies were thrown from a certain height. This fact is said by the identical injuries of the bodies.Internal fractures, with no visible major external injuries, because the fall was in deep snow and something like a man jumping from a great height into the water and getting internal fractures of the spine, skull, as well as parallel fractures of the ribs. The recent witness Yuri Yudin, who has found strange military items near the tent and suspects the Russian military, confirms his great suspicion by the fact that apparently the latest team of Russian forensic scientists who went only to the scene of the accident made a picnic with tea and biscuits and nothing else. Any professional forensic scientist will try to stage the same injuries on a cow or other animal, for example by throwing snow from a height.He will compare the same injuries and get an easy answer if he wants to. But someone in Russia deliberately does not want the villains to be discovered! Herein lies the answer to all this tragic story!
Thank you so much for the fantastic upload!
I'm a big fan of these mysterious stories and you do a terrific job of presenting the information.
I really like the drawing/sketches that accompany these videos.
Gotta respect this crew of expeditioners. To undertake such a journey. Mega props to them.
Quite possibly my favorite YT channel
Lemino?
@@dailo_8 what?
@@clintbandura9018 You know who he is? *Lemmino. I Think most commentary channels with good editing deserves some love.
@@QuackerHead-j lemminos theory was off though
Your quality of work is incredible, please keep up the fantastic work you do!
I don't believe this mystery will ever be solved! These people were young, fit, highly intelligent & used to sub zero Russian winters.
Was just getting ready to make the almost same comment. This is just one of those rare mysteries that will always remain that way.
Exactly...
New sub, I found your channel due to looking for videos on this tragic horrific case. Thank you for your excellent information on this ♥️ RIP Brave Souls 😢💔 I truly pray these souls are being loved and cared for in heaven 🙏🏽💔 Thank you ♥️♥️
keep these vids pupping out man, love watching them
This is absolutely one of my favorite topics! I hit this so quick LOL and hit like before I even watched because I know it’s going to be great 👍🏼
So glad you guys returned to this topic. It’s so interesting and I had a feeling there was a bit more to look at with this event. Thank you for the great work you guys do.
I’ve watched all three episodes in order. I think part 3 is very plausible. Thank you!
Well done! Excellent follow-up of Parts One and Two. Thank you.
Missed u, Rich! ❤ So glad u're back! 😍💓
They alternate I think. Which, I approve. As long as we always have Rick
Yes, we totally love Rich :)
the eerie light sightings and the mysterious photo are still unaccounted for
Why wouldn't they grab their bags? This theory is full of holes, just like the others! The wind blown stones causing the injuries is ridiculous!
You've evidently never been in a really strong wind. It's entirely possible.
But it might just as easily been blowing debris of any kind, twigs, brush, ice...
@@baruchben-david4196 We only have the forensic evidence from Soviet authorities who I don't trust to begin with, and I am wondering why the injuries were only on the upper parts of the bodies if they were pelted by wind-blown debris. And your hands would be so frozen that biting your knuckle in those conditions wouldn't help keep you conscious.
Haven't you ever seen a hurricane or tornado? The wind can absolutely cause serious injuries when debris are blowing around. To attribute the less serious injuries of this incident to objects that were blown around isn't unreasonable at all. And as far as why they didn't grab their bags.... Perhaps they panicked and couldn't find them in the chaos, and in their fear they weren't thinking logically. Who knows honestly. But the fact that something similar happened to another group, and a survivor was able to explain an event that was very similar to this would suggest that it's not just a ridiculous theory
Winds flattened their tent on top of them. I'd figure that'd cause enough of a panic as to want to get the hell out, hence the stabbing through the tent. It might be unlikely that all of them would forget to take their bags, but it's not impossible since people are typically driven to irrationality when a life-threatening surprise hits them in the face. I do have to say though it's the most plausible theory.
I think the thing to remember is that experience doesn't make you immune to panic. You can be well-prepared and still find yourself in a situation you didnt see coming. And once somebody panics, it doesn't necessarily take long for the situation to go FUBAR.
Very well done! Great job on the narration, the writing of the program, and great job on the artwork. Thank-you for your hard work and putting together this informative program. Super job!
Fantastic production. Thanks. You have cracked it. Keeps the grey mater ticking over in these difficult days. Gb may your g or no g be with you.
Without a doubt the best channel on youtube, you totally deserve a Nobel prize
Thank you so much for another excellent video, keep up your good work. And let's be honest this is an interesting theory based on sound logic and not just theoretical speculation. Let me say a couple of things though. I'm a mountaineer and outdoorsman and I have always looked at this from an outdoor person's perspective. I'm clear that to leave boots and life essential equipment the group were running for their lives... Why has remained a mystery and has fuelled so much speculation. Many years ago I was climbing in Western Nepal and was caught in a short savage storm that was not expected. Under the pressure of the wind my tent collapsed due to insufficient staking out, this happened in the middle in the night in complete darkness. It was a disorientating, scary and very cold. Nevertheless, I calmly turned on the head torch. My climbing mate sat up to create some space. I put on my hat, my mid layer jacket, my salopettes, my down jacket, my polypropylene gloves, my fleece gloves, my plastic boots and finally I put my goretex over mitts on . I'm guessing in the wind chill and white out conditions it was at least - 35c maybe more. I could barely stand in the wind. It took my an hour to secure the tent. Nothing would have made me leave that tent without essential clothing as that is deadly, nothing short of imminent death would make me abandon the tent, as that is also deadly. The actions I took that night are instinctive to a mountaineer. Perhaps, this latest theory is the explanation. Perhaps, not..... I know one thing those young people ran for their lives in a manner that suggests they were in terror.
My thoughts literally. While I’m not a mountaineer at all, the only way I would ever leave shelter in such conditions without proper clothing is if my life was in immediate danger from something that would scare me beyond reason.
Welcome back rich, interesting episode, wouldn't have been the same without ya.
Came here for the Dyatlov series, subscribing because your format is outstanding!
to leave the tents in such a manner they must have been terrified of something or someone ?
Exactly. They might have been scared by an unknown sound that they believed the sound source was getting closer and thus they couldn’t waste any time in getting away.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: the respect you guys present to the victims of these real life tragedies is so heartwarming that I see my faith in humanity restored. Keep it up!
There are still a few things that don't seem to fit but this theory does make some good guesses. Though as mentioned, we'll likely never know; and perhaps that's for the best...
Great work as always!
It is the most compelling theory thus far, explaining every part of the tragic end of the students at Dyatlov’s with a scientific explanation, although putting and end to a 60 year-long mistery is always difficult, nobody wants to let go on a good mistery... Also, the artwork on this episode was particularly beautifull and detailed! Congrats to Mikey on it!
Its not explains everything
Out of any explanation I've ever heard this one has to be the best. I'm from an area that receives sudden violent wind/ thunderstorms so it makes sense to me. There was an incident where my mom nearly took me to an oktoberfest celebration but at the last minute we decided not to go because my mom had a bad feeling about it. Sudden downburst collapsed the tent and injured quite a few people. No way to see it coming. If it were below freezing I could absolutely see people dying. It's just nobody thinks of wind as being dangerous but it is.
Fascinating, this is among the most plausible hypotheses I have heard about this event. This could finally be the answer.
I just tapped this video so hard. Been looking forward to this one.
Alright so I'm curious. If the Swedish incident was a mirror of this event, why wasn't this theory about what happened more of a thing before this? This does seem like the most plausible explanation, so I'm surprised it didn't come up before this.
Other questions I have for people who know better include; why didn't they camp closer to the trees? Why didn't they apparently have access to any layers they could put on quickly before going out? I understand they mightve panicked but they were experienced hikers
The military was already in the vicinity when this tragedy occurred. What were they doing and maybe they caused the hikers to freak out.
Why do people not know of paradoxical undressing... I thought it was common knowledge that with extreme hypothermia your body feels likes its burning and causes people to undress
why didn't they camp closer to the trees?.... Excellent question, one of the first ones i had when i heard about it all.... There are many variations about it, i know three different possible answers to it, if you are truly curious, reply to me, it will show me that you are really interested about it and i will type it up for you... i have gotten so weary to type stuff to people who actually don't even care, or already have some weird concepts formed in their minds, and i am just plain tried to argue with dumb people...
@@declaringpond2276 This still doesn't really make sense, they *left* the tent undressed but then survived for several more hours, and some took clothing from the dead. If they were that far into hypothermia, they couldn't have survived that much longer, and if they felt like they were burning why would they have built a fire or taken one another's clothes?
@@Julia_F_i_r I'm curious as to what you have to say about why they didn't camp closer to the trees. I honestly can't come up with a possible answer myself and it's one of the nagging questions I have that cross over all the theories.
Comparing parts 1and 2 to this one, it's amazing how the art in these videos has improved so much over the course of a year!
I noticed that, too. The refinements are palpable.
Just discovered this channel today and I must of watched 10 videos already, absolutely fantastic stuff, brilliant!
This seems to be the best and most well investigated explanation of this tragic historical event. And it's probably the correct one.
Thanks for revisiting this topic. Ever since I saw your original 2-part coverage of the incident, I've wondered what could possibly have driven the hikers out of their tent with so little in the way of clothing & equipment. This newer theory does indeed seem more plausible than the rest.
Dude. You just put one of my greatest curiosities to rest. This may not be entirely correct but it makes perfect sense. Thank you
