There's a much less well known, but similar incident that also took place in 1993. Khamar Darban was an instance where a group of hikers were making their way through mountains in Western Siberia, close to Mongolia, and died under mysterious circumstances. Only difference is there was an eyewitness survivor, a 17 year old girl who was part of the group. She reported that most died of exposure, but under weird circumstances like trying to rip their clothes off and even banging their heads against rocks, almost like a bout of insanity that overtook them. However, due to the remoteness of the location, it was 3.5 weeks before rescuers could make it up there, so decomposition had affected the bodies pretty badly. Lots of theories ranging from poisoned food to infrasound resulting from a  freak storm that hit them, but interesting incident nonetheless. There's a video on Youtube covering it but aside from that very little except some Russian translations from the early 1990s. The sole survivor changed her name, moved away and has refused all requests for interviews.

The aged Yuri Yudin, the sole survivor of the team, had done a video interview. In it he stated that he doubted the official investigation report about the death of his friends and he believed that the government was somehow involved. Before he passed away, he had asked to be buried in the same place as his friends.

Also, will there be an episode on the trial of Adolf Eichmann in Israel? I'd be interested to know how the U.S. and the Soviets responded to it. Thanks.

I'm not saying it was aliens, but...




That's it, I'm just saying it isn't aliens

The slab avalanche theory has the most physical and circumstantial evidence behind it.

17:50 It would not have needed to be what we consider to be an avalanche. Not a wall of snow barreling down the slope, but rather a relatively small slab of compacted snow.

When they pitched their tent on the slope, they cut out the snow to create a flat area to pitch the tent on. This created a deep notch in the slope. The "avalanche" would have been a block of snow (probably a 3 m wide by 3 m long by 1 metre high = 9 cubic metres) detaching from the slope above the tent, falling into the notch and dropping onto the hikers. A cubic metre/yard of snow weighs a fair bit (50 kg), so a "small" slab of compacted snow weighing around 450 kg (around 990 lbs) dropping on a tent would do a lot of damage. Think of it this way, imagine the effect of dropping about 50kg (110lbs) from a height of 1-2 metres (3-6 ft) onto someone in a tent.

They would have been trapped under the snow in a collapsed tent, so the only way to get out would be to cut the tent. This had the effect of destroying their protection from the cold. It is unlikely they would have been able to find their gear in the tent, and would have been afraid that more of the slope could detach and form a full-sized avalanche. The rest of what happened was probably due in part to panic and effects of hypothermia affecting their ability to make appropriate decisions.

The Swiss study, i.e. the slab avalanche one did simulations of avalanches using software developed for which movie? Disney's Frozen of course. Seems strange bit it is entirely logical that they would have developed this software for a movie about snow.

One thing I remembered about some of the promises you made in one movie. Namely, you were supposed to continue the story of the space rivalry between the USSR and the USA. When I take these stories further, I really like watching your channel because you have much more interesting information than in my country on the subject of the Cold War?

I like that there are 16 likes to the video within the first 20 seconds of publication. Such is our faith that it will be good!

I really appreciate the animation of this video. Give us more of that.

Great stuff, I think this will go down to be one of the definitive videos on Dylatov pass incident.

Lemmino, a YouTuber has an amazing video documentary on this

Thanks

Can you do one on the development of the birth control pill, and specifically, what alternatives were used in the Eastern Bloc?  Also, how did they impact women's Liberation in the 60s and 70s?

Thank you for the "History channel after midnight" reference lol. I've never heard of this incident before, but it sounds like an awful mess whatever the case.
Stay well out there everybody, and God bless you, friends. ✝️ :)

15:52 shows it was time traveling CIA agents from at least the late 80’s because they apparently had a Glock pistol.

Little surprised you didn't mention  Donnie Eichar and his book Dead Mountain. He was the only investigator who met a survivor and personally visited the site. Donnie came up with interesting theory.

This story is more bizarre than the Netflix series “Stranger Things “  My personal theory is that they were attacked by communist zombie vampires sent from space to colonize Russia, but their plan was foiled by….. to be continued ✋🏻

Bedtime Stories has covered this but I still want to hear others covering this incident.

Thanks for the survey of various theories. I would have liked your comments on the photo of the mysterious creature/human.
