    The Dyantlov pass incident is quite strange. I do believe they got scared of something that made them abandon everything and leave as fast as possible. Knowing they were advanced hikers they probably know the sound of an avalanche going off. That would get me going quick. Or the sound of parachute bombs going off around you.
    These two seem most believable to me.
    They were only found after 26 days to 3 months (defuse time) after the tragedy. Probably enough time to cover tracks, markings, indentations in the snow.

      Except it couldn't have been an avalanche. Being heavily covered in snow isn't the same thing as being totally buried. The avalanche and bomb theory doesn't explain enough of the odd circumstances. Not the campfire spooky stuff, but the real documented facts that happened that can't be adequately explained. It was probably a combination of a couple things, and it was probably something that hasn't been thought of yet.

    Pertaining to the hikers. During my tenure in the Marines, I've personally witnessed delirium from dehydration in the cold, underestimating the need for hydration in the cold.
    I've also witnessed hyponatremia (albeit never in cold weather conditions) from under-eating over-hydrating. The incident I was there for, the Marine had no clue where or even who he was, and was identified because he was staring into the treeline swaying back and forth, away from others.
    So there might be a simple explanation that they didn't think to test for back then.

      I think the other problem people have with accepting the avalanche hypothesis is most people hear that word and get the image of the giant wall of snow careening down a mountainside crushing everything in its path. That is just one scale of avalanche, not all avalanches. The smallest avalanches are sluffs and are less than 50m and around 100 cubic metres of snow and unlikely to actually bury someone (per European avalanche services). A slab avalanche at the higher scale of a sluff could perfectly explain what happened. Buuuuuut that's not as exciting so like you said, no one wants to hear it.

    I think that the Dyatlov expedition tragedy has classic elements of your good ol’ hypothermia of Russian winters - and if im not mistaken - the last stages of hypothermia include PARADOXICAL UNDRESSING - where the person believes that by taking their clothes OFF - they will feel warmer. Late stage of Hypothermia also includes mental confusion and unusual behaviour in general- that’s what I assume most likely happened to these unfortunate young people. RIP

      And no signs on burns or any radioactive damage, so probably it was just extreme cold and lack of preparation.
      For me as a Russian who hiked in cold weather it's pretty recognizable thing, without proper training and gear most people in extreme cold will be exhausted very quick and probably just will give up and die. People got used to being in comfort with clothes and worm place everywhere, so we think that cold is just cold and no biggie, we tend to forget how dangerous it actually is for us.

What is more accurate & not misleadingly trying to paint everything throughout history with such a broad brush is that history was written by those who actually wrote- widespread literacy hasnt been a common thing for the majority of the population for very long at all. Yes at times its been written by the "winners" but there are cases where the "losers" have written about the same subject, same specific topic/time/location. Take WW2 for example there have been many German writers/historians who have confirmed whats been written by the "winners". Depending on the historical topic there are at times multiple sources outside of anything written, the eruption of Mt Vesuvius (yes there is written account) there is also carbon dating that aligns with the date of that written account along with tangible evidence- Pompeii & Herculaneum

    About the hikers,its proven hyperthermia can make a person crazy, so my theory is that extreme hyperthermia set in and made them crazy or another theory is that extremely cold winds were pushing the tent violently and it was nearly impossible to open the tents door and considering 9 men were in that tent and it looks like the tent cant even hold half that number and they decided to use a knife to escape but at the last minute the tent door finally opened, so they ran in different directions, it could be possible that they all ran in different directions and just got to each other as they went in similar ways and with lack of food and water they slowly died from that reason, and also suffocation like the 3rd group near the ravine and 2nd died of the extreme winds just following after the extreme wind that violently pushed the tent and 1st had ran and died because of lack of clothing.

    Hikers: I think some or all of them went crazy either due to dehydration or eating tainted food like wild mushrooms (or tainted food cans). Then either hallucinated or tried to run from someone going crazy/turning on each other. The removal of clothes etc can actually paradoxically be a symptom of hypothermia, so could happen after they were forced to run away.

      It was not an avalanche.
      The hikers had decided to make camp on the snow covered mountain side. In order to have a flat space to pitch the tent, they dug snow off of the slanted mountain side until they had a small flat area.
      At some point before the hike, the tent had been modified to include a portable stove, which would keep the inhabitants of the tent comfortably warm.
      After pitching the tent, the hikers retired into the tent and went to sleep. In the middle of the night, a specific known type of snow movement (I dismember the name of this phenomenon), but which has rarely happened, caused some volume of snow to slide off the snow base immediately above the tent, and fall directly onto the tent, crushing it to the ground.
      This event caused immediate pandemonium inside the tent. In their panic, they cut open the tent fabric, and emerged into the great outdoors, clad only in what they had been wearing while sleeping, which wasn't much.
      In their panic, they fled downhill towards the treeline in slightly different trajectories, and then died in slightly different ways.
      The tent had been covered with too much snow for the hikers to clear off, and it had a large slit in the side. Therefore, the hikers could not go back upslope to recover the tent into a life saving shelter, nor could they recover their clothing from the tent interior.
      After that, all of the supposedly odd deaths were simply the results of insufficiently dressed people trying different ways to save themselves from cold, and ultimately failing.
      I wish I had kept the link, but I am certain that anyone could google it, and locate the article. It is a truly fascinating event that has kept me wondering for decades!

    I wonder if it could have been a bear with the hikers in Russia? Like the tent was crushed and ripped up so maybe it attacked the tent and they all scattered and then got lost in the dark snowy area for too long and froze. Maybe they were underdressed to keep their gear from getting sweaty for the next day. If you've ever hiked or camped out like that you want to be sure to keep your gear dry or it's easy to get too cold and since their tent was way too small for the amount of people they had maybe they decided to strip and keep warm with skin contact instead of all pack in in their gear and risk sweating in their gear. It would explain why they didn't have a chance to get gear on

    Dyatlov pass (or however you spell it) It's just another Soviet cover up, for them accidentally killing civilians, not that they cared, but it's just another cover up. It was clearly due to some type of radioactive or nuclear testing, or dumping waste. They died because of the government, I don't think that's much of a mystery. It is the only explanation. The Soviets were notorious for this type of crap, and Chernobyl didn't even have to happen. They could have evacuated everybody, instead, they doubled down and told everybody that everything was fine, and let them drop like flies.

    The hikers in Russian, I believe this was an avalanche. It explains the injuries, it explains why they had to cut out the tent, it explains why some were dressed and others not. Be this hyperthermia where you undress when you get too cold, or survivors staking cloths from the deceased. It is the most likely explanation. It was also normal practice to set up a safe spot some distance away due to avalanche, the movement they made would appear to be an attempt to reach this safe place.

    I love this channel, but I have 2 (fairly obvious) notes…both regarding the title: a) you can’t call the episode “…Mysteries You Can’t Solve,” when you literally have the explanation(s) (the train case, which it was obviously carbon monoxide poisoning BEFORE you went ahead and actually STATED AS MUCH in the video itself; as well as the Smith murder case, which was more “successful witness tampering” than a “mystery”) and b) the word “CAN’T” should be capitalized in the title of the video, not the word “YOU.” Capitalizing “you” implies the mysteries CAN be solved, just not by any of us viewers; whereas if “can’t” were capitalized instead, it would imply the mysteries are too difficult/complex/etc. to be solved by anyone, with any resources, that they LITERALLY “cannot be solved” (for the argument as to why this assertion is “false” please refer back to point “a)” herein).
