DYATLOV PASS INCIDENT: 6 Most Plausible Theories Explained / Will We Ever Know the Truth?

The Dyatlov Pass incident is one of the most famous events in the history of Soviet mountaineering.
In 1959, the Igor Dyatlov group set out for a 14-day skiing expedition along a Category III route and never came back... I’ve decided to concentrate on possible explanations – what happened in the northern Urals in February of 1959?

It’s worth considering that mild hypothermia impairs decision making, and moderate-severe hypothermia absolutely destroys our abilities to think clearly, regulate emotion, and make even basic decisions

[Boneworm]

I think something that keeps tragedies like this ripe for wild speculation is the idea that "people don't just die." Like, look at the people who die climbing mountains with professional guides on well-traveled routes; accidents happen and life is uncomfortably fragile. Heck, people die from hypothermia in the middle of cities.

I do like this format of skipping right to the theories around a more heavily-covered topic and not spending a lot of time on the ufo/Bigfoot/conspiracy stuff.

Ever since I first found out about this years ago, I’ve been fascinated by it. There are just so many creepy, unexplainable factors. Bodies giving a radioactive reading, one of them being “tinted orange”, and some bodies having extreme internal injuries with little to no external injuries are just some of the most insane.

Definitely like this format, even though I have seen a bunch of videos on this before to the point that I've skipped some, the focus on theories rather than rehashing the background meant I was looking forward to watching this.

Nice job blending old photos into the area now. It really brought it to life

[liberteus]

a kgb agent tipped off a bigfoot about a group of hikers entering a sacred mountain. Bigfoot hopped in his UFO, blasted a nearby rocket with ultrasound that exploded over the mountain triggering an avalanche. The group, already fragile from internal strife, descended into madness and fought each other, then exited the tent... And that's my favorite version.

Easily one of the best and most thorough covering of the story.

The theory that Bedtime Stories presented in their 3rd video on the Dyatlov Pass that concerned Katabatic winds was another interesting possibility. Seemed as plausible as some of the other theories considering everything the researchers discovered about it and compared to a Swedish hiking incident in 2019.

Out of all the videos I've seen about this mystery, Archie's Archive is the best!

[JenSalvatore]

I love both types of stories. Thank you for creating these videos, Archie!

This is one of my favorite conspiracies to talk about because so many theories are plausible. All we know for sure is those folks must have had very scary deaths.

[mysticx]

i would love to see more of these "further investigation" type vids about these types of incidents. too many videos dont go into depth about the theories. this was great.

[chrislastname]

The avalanche theory makes no sense at all. The most interesting point is that the investigation was classified. This indicates it was something that wouldn't be perceived well by the public.

[garlickebagg]

This is my favourite channel, mountain disasters. This here video was one of your best. You brought together all the bits which I've heard for years. Thank you. Wonder which incident will be in the next one. Also, I like your voice and accent.

[cleggsycleggsy]

Something they heard made them slice that tent open. Whatever they saw made them run, no time thinking just running. They heard and saw something that terrified them. I've always been fascinated by this case and this was a great documentary. Thank you 😊

[heather]

I'm another one who truly appreciates the amount of work you put in, not just stock photos that you use in your videos. I'll never climb a mountain, therefore they will never kill me. But I love to watch well done tragedy/survival tales, particularly of cavediving and mountaineering. Thanks so much.

tHE PITCH OF THE GRADE WAS ALMOST FLAT AS YOU CAN SEE FROM PHOTO'S, NO AVALANCH

[englishcanuck]

Thanks for the upload. As usual, LOVE your material ❤

Hypothermia initiating the incident doesn't even pass the first hurdle. There's no doubt many of them got hypothermia from exposure to -30 Celsius for several hours, but the idea that hypothermia started the incident is clearly impossible. The first hurdle is that something scared all of them so badly, so instantaneously, that they cut/ destroyed their only protection against the elements. Their decision making later on was directed & purposeful. They headed to the treeline for protection against the wind. They started a fire. When team members died, the survivors took items of clothing. The last 4 took measures to create a den/shelter with a large quantity of branches collected from tree tops to protect their feet. The idea that 9 people all wake up with hypothermic delirium at the exact same moment is laughable. The severe injuries of the 4 in the ravine is nit a mystery. Their shelter collapsed on them and several tonnes of snow was on top of them for several months. The missing eyes and tongues is basic animal depredation. The radioactive clothes can also be explained through the work environment of a number of the hikers. The mystery is what caused all of them, simultaneously, to think that destroying their tent and walking calmly out into -30 degrees was the preferable option.

When you were explaining the love triangle it got really confusing. You stated their first and last names and then referred to Zena by her first name and Yuri by his last and then switched to referring to Zena by her last name also. Their last names are difficult to discern for an English speaking audience, so why not just refer to them by their first names?

love your videos dude always look forward to them!
