The death of the expedition Dyatlov (17 photos)

We already wrote about it. Found new photos.

For some reason, late at night on February 2, sleeping in a tent on the treeless hillside, people suddenly woke up in a hurry left the tent and headed down the hill to the forest. People left part is not dressed, without shoes, without taking out of the tent and equipment necessary things, not even wearing a robe.



tragic story, chilling soul. A group of nine young, strong people this accident literally "smashed to pieces." Six cold - died from hypothermia. Three others died from severe injuries - Lyudmila Dubinin bilateral fracture of the ribs, Alexander Zolotarev - unilateral fracture, Nicholas Thibault Brignole severe head trauma ... closed head injury (fracture of the skull, discovered only at autopsy anatomist) even at Rustem Slobodina killed from the cold. At the time this story shocked the Sverdlovsk and, especially, the Ural Polytechnic Institute, where I studied the dead boys - graduates and undergraduates, enough experienced hikers, skiers. Rescuers have found their tent - tent with food and equipment was abandoned and very noticeable snow. She stood on the hillside Bathrobe-Sjahyl (1079) - "Mountain of the Dead" is translated from the Mansi. Some fatal force compelled them to leave his camp, to go down to the woods, at a distance of just over a kilometer. In this case, the tent footprints led down - they were without shoes.

Presumably on the way back to the tent. All five were killed by freezing.



Four others (Lucy Dubinin, Alexander Zolotarev, Kohl Tibo Brignoles and Sasha Kolevatov) were separately in the bed of the stream under a thick, 4-meter layer of snow. They were found later, in mid-May. Here, three died from severe injuries, and Kolevatov - Frost (based on expertise).



History has created a lot of speculation, speculation, riddles. It is unclear why the body Luda Dubinina extracted from the stream, there was no language? .. Why some fragments of clothing Dubinina and Zolotarev had traces of radioactivity. Survivor participant group (descended from the route to the accident), Yury Yudin recognized affiliation of many found objects. Affiliation of the subjects has not been established: things mixed up. Two subjects Yudin is not recognized as the things he saw at the victims, but have been found next to them: the sheath of hard rubber (for knife - found in the tent) and a small piece of cloth greatcoat (found on the installation of the hollow trunks of trees in the stream next to the bodies of four dead) ...
