  as thick as a blizzard. Join us as we follow the

  train. And I've Del a town in the
• 0:56
  northern regions of the Soviet Union.
• 0:59
  After disembarking, they took a truck to Voi Che the last
• 1:02
  inhabited settlement so far, north.
• 1:06
  The group was composed of eight men and two women.
• 1:09
  Most of whom were students are graduates of your old
• 1:12
  polytechnical Institute. Their mission was to embark on a
• 1:16
  14-day expedition to reach or toward a summit in the icy
• 1:20
  Wilderness whose native name means dead Mount.
• 1:24
  This expedition was classified as a category 3 which was
• 1:27
  considered the most difficult to complete and luckily all members
• 1:32
  were experienced and long ski hours and mountainous.
• 1:35
  Expeditions the group began hiking on January 27th, the next
• 1:40
  day. However, one of the members,
• 1:42
  Yuri, yudin was forced to turn back due to illness.
• 1:46
  You would have no idea that this would be the last time he sees
• 1:49
  companions among the living. The original plan of the dyatlov
• 1:54
  expedition was to send a telegram to their Sports Club
• 1:58
  when they return to vsj by the 12th.
• 2:01
  However, dyatlov told Yuri yudin that he suspected.
• 2:05
  They would take longer when the date passed and no message had
• 2:09
  been sent there. There wasn't an immediate
• 2:11
  reaction since delays on missions like this or not
• 2:14
  uncommon. It was only after the families
• 2:17
  of the group demanded a rescue operation, that the first group
• 2:20
  of volunteers students and teachers went out on February
• 2:23
  the 20th later on, police, and military would become involved
• 2:28
  in the search, and the discoveries that followed her.
• 2:31
  Of strange, that rumbles of speculation remain to this
• 2:35
  present day. The total number of men who
• 2:38
  participated in the search amounted to 120.
• 2:41
  The search was made difficult on account of the fact that Igor
• 2:44
  had not filed, the proper map or the rooh documentation prior to
• 2:48
  the trip, on February 25th, the ski Trail was found and on the
• 2:54
  very next day, the 10th used by the dyatlov group, was
• 2:57
  discovered, the 10 was in shambles with none of the Hikers
• 3:02
  to be found and stranger. Still, the sides had been cut
• 3:06
  from the inside the official report, stated the nature and
• 3:11
  form of all Cuts, suggest that they were formed by contact with
• 3:14
  the canvas, inside the tent with the blade of some weapon.
• 3:17
  Presumably a knife on the morning of the 27th.
• 3:22
  Rescuers found the bodies of Yuri doroshenko and Eureka's.
• 3:26
  A fog machine go near a cedar tree with broken branches and
• 3:30
  the remains of a fire. Searchers would discover the
• 3:33
  bodies of more hikers. The next day, including dyatlov
• 3:37
  himself, a fifth, hiker would be found on March, the 5th.
• 3:41
  And the remaining four would not be found until months later with
• 3:45
  the winter snow. Did thought enough to review the
• 3:47
  bodies though it is tragic that these hikers lost their lives.
• 3:51
  The findings of the search and autopsies of the bodies, have
• 3:55
  only served to deepen the mystery piecing, together a
• 3:59
  potential Narrative of events It's from diary and journal
• 4:02
  entries, along with the evidence present near the campsite has
• 4:06
  yielded, the following the hikers, reach the mountain of
• 4:10
  khoya to cycle on the first of February, leaving a Depot
• 4:14
  supplies near the foot of the slope, they ascended and set up
• 4:18
  camp. As the weather conditions.
• 4:20
  Lowered visibility, something went horribly wrong on the 2nd
• 4:25
  and the middle of the night, the group cut, open the tent and
• 4:29
  Hike single-file downhill towards the woods and their
• 4:32
  pajamas and away from the supply cached, they left near the
• 4:36
  mountain once there. Some of them climbed up the
• 4:39
  trees, either to grab firewood or to try and spot the 10th.
• 4:44
  Some of them stayed to unsuccessfully start a fire and
• 4:48
  others tried to walk back to the 10 and all eventually succumbed
• 4:52
  to hypothermia. Others move deeper into the
• 4:55
  forest, where they fell into a ravine, sustaining heavy
• 4:59
  injuries and eventually dying as well.
• 5:03
  The events that led to their deaths is still unclear.
• 5:06
  What made the hikers? Leave the safety of their tent
• 5:08
  during a blizzard with little to no clothing and without Panic,
• 5:13
  the hikers were not exactly poorly armed.
• 5:16
  They had plenty of items like axes that they could have used
• 5:19
  for protection. The only thing that could have
• 5:22
  forced them out of the tent and into the Hours of the icy
• 5:25
  Wilderness would have been an immediate threat of death at the
• 5:28
  tent and an immediate threat of death that mere axes, or knives
• 5:33
  couldn't have stopped. Why were thick limbs broken off
• 5:36
  the cedar tree when dry branches were readily available for
• 5:40
  firewood and why was the fifth hiker found with head trauma?
• 5:44
  That can't be explained Away by accident or clumsiness?
• 5:48
  Why were some of the hikers articles of clothing found with
• 5:51
  radiation on them? Even after months of being
• 5:54
  exposed? Stu water.
• 5:56
  Why did the pilots refused to airlift?
• 5:58
  The bodies out of the Ravine and why did the corner lists the
• 6:01
  cause of death for the hikers? The movie as a compelling,
• 6:04
  natural force of Unknown Origin. There are many theories
• 6:10
  postulated to explain the fate of the dyatlov group ranging,
• 6:14
  from the bazaar to the unbelievable, the Abominable
• 6:17
  Snowman UFOs. And other Supernatural
• 6:21
  explanations have been put forward for the deaths of the
• 6:24
  hike. Hers.
• 6:25
  A man in charge of the dyatlov pass investigation named live
• 6:29
  ivanoff was forced to retract the statement he made.
• 6:33
  And 1959, his statement is the following We found that some of
• 6:39
  the young pine trees at the edge of the forest had burned marks.
• 6:43
  But those marks did not have a con eccentric form or some other
• 6:46
  pattern, there was no epicenter. This once again, confirmed that
• 6:51
  heated beams of a strong but completely unknown at least to
• 6:55
  US. Energy were directing their
• 6:57
  Firepower towards specific objects and this case people
• 7:02
  acting selectively another theory, put forth by author
• 7:07
  Alexia track eaten suggested that the three of the hikers
• 7:11
  were KGB agents on a mission to uncover a cell of CIA agents
• 7:16
  when something went wrong and the CIA agents killed the group
• 7:21
  The Strange issues such as radioactivity on the clothing
• 7:24
  have led some Credence to this idea but have not impressed
• 7:27
  those who were the friends of the dyatlov hikers, one of the
• 7:32
  more accepted theories as that of Katabatic wind also known as
• 7:37
  gravity went, this is a natural phenomena were high.
• 7:40
  Density are from higher. Elevation is carrying doubt,
• 7:43
  slopes by winds that can equal the force of a hurricane, the
• 7:48
  wind would have forced the hikers out of the tent with only
• 7:51
  a few seconds of warning. Maybe they cut their way out.
• 7:54
  Piled snow on top of the 10 and left a flashlight on top of the
• 7:58
  site and calmly walk, downhill to the tree line to await better
• 8:02
  conditions only dressed in their Their pajamas.
• 8:05
  They all would have succumbed to the elements.
• 8:08
  However, while this may explain some of the mystery, it does not
• 8:12
  cover all the questions. This Enigma poses.
• 8:16
  The mystery of what really happened to the detox.
• 8:18
  Love group in 1959 is still alive in the hearts and minds of
• 8:22
  many, who find their story tragic, and fascinating, the
• 8:27
  absence of certain answers within the investigation along,
• 8:30
  with conflicting accounts on behalf of The Rescuers has
• 8:33
  sparked speculation, movies, books and TV shows of all
• 8:39
  attempted to give their own explanations but fact-based and
• 8:43
  Sensational. However, it is an important.
• 8:46
  Important note that behind this Enigma is the very real loss of
• 8:49
  nine, human lives all. But one of the hikers died in
• 8:53
  their early 20s with Simon sole author of being the oldest a 38,
• 8:58

  Hundreds of kilometers away from human settlements.
