Dyatlov Pass Incident

Fri, 11 Dec 2009 21:57:09 -0500

The Dyatlov Pass incident refers to an event that resulted in the deaths of nine ski hikers in the northern Ural mountains on the night of February 2, 1959. It happened on the east shoulder of the mountain Kholat Syakhl (Холат Сяхл) (a Mansi name, meaning Mountain of the Dead). The mountain pass where the incident occurred has since been named Dyatlov Pass (Перевал Дятлова) after the group’s leader, Igor Dyatlov (Игорь Дятлов).

The lack of eyewitnesses and subsequent investigations into the hikers’ deaths have inspired much speculation. Investigators determined that the hikers tore open their tent from within, departing barefoot in heavy snow. Though the corpses showed no signs of struggle, two victims had fractured skulls, two had broken ribs, and one was missing her tongue. According to sources, four of the victims’ clothing contained high levels of radiation—though no mention of this fact made of it in contemporary documentation, and only appears in later documents. Soviet investigators determined only that “a compelling unknown force” had caused the deaths. Access to the area was barred for three years after the incident. The chronology of the incident remains unclear due to the lack of survivors.

[…] On February 26, the searchers found the abandoned camp on Kholat Syakhl. The tent was badly damaged. A chain of footprints could be followed, leading down towards the edge of nearby woods (on the opposite side of the pass, 1.5km north-east), but after 500 meters they were covered with snow. At the forest edge, under a large old pine, the searchers found the remains of a fire, along with the first two dead bodies, those of Krivonischenko and Doroshenko, shoeless and dressed only in their underwear. Between the pine and the camp the searchers found three more corpses—Dyatlov, Kolmogorova and Slobodin—who seemed to have died in poses suggesting that they were attempting to return to the camp. They were found separately at distances of 300, 480 and 630 meters from the pine tree.

Searching for the remaining four travelers took more than two months. They were finally found on May 4, under four meters of snow, in a ravine in a stream valley further into the wood from the pine tree.

A legal inquest had been started immediately after finding the first five bodies. A medical examination found no injuries which might have led to their deaths, and it was concluded that they had all died of hypothermia. One person had a small crack in his skull, but it was not thought to be a fatal wound.

An examination of the four bodies which were found in May changed the picture. Three of them had fatal injuries: the body of Thibeaux-Brignolle had major skull damage, and both Dubunina and Zolotarev had major chest fractures. The force required to cause such damage would have been extremely high, with one expert comparing it to the force of a car crash. Notably, the bodies had no external wounds, as if they were crippled by a high level of pressure. One woman was found to be missing her tongue. There had initially been some speculation that the indigenous Mansi people might have attacked and murdered the group for encroaching upon their lands, but investigation indicated that the nature of their deaths did not support this thesis; the hikers’ footprints alone were visible, and they showed no sign of hand-to-hand struggle.

There was evidence that the team was forced to leave the camp during the night, as they were sleeping. Though the temperature was very low (around -25° to -30°C) with a storm blowing, the dead were dressed only partially, and certainly inadequately for the conditions. Some of them had only one shoe, while others had no shoes or wore only socks. Some were found wrapped in snips of ripped clothes which seemed to be cut from those who were already dead.

“This is a killer dossier; a heat-pounding and sensational masterpiece that largely exposes Uganda’s shameless men and un-abashed women that have deliberately exported the western evils to our dear and sacred society. They have been influential in spreading the gay and Lesbian vices in schools to kill the morals of our lovely kids!!

So nerve-breaking the article is that hypertension victims should not dare comb through! Today, we expose the big forces that have been secretly on rampage — mercilessly terrorizing the hairy bums of hundreds and the details of women that have been enjoying steamy orgies and dangerous snogs with fellow women.

Ssebagala: He is a top city business man. He travels a lot especially to the US on big business trips. This homo star resides in Ntinda. He is tall, fat and with curved legs. He likes sharing boys with fellow bum bonkers. In his early 40s, this gentleman covers his romantic eyes with black goggles. He has a post car and is a shareholder in a bar where gay superstars camp for parties.

Opio: He sells shoes. He’s black, slender and tall. He is called Leticia in the gay community. He stays in Gaba. He changes boys like nappies. He usually bonks Abel, a businessman from Masaka. He shakes booty like a babe while walking.”
