The Dyatlov Pass Incident

Oh my goodness. Was it an incident on the Matterhorn ride, when Disneyland first opened?

This is a most necessary thread.

How do you pronounce it?

Diet-Love?

Getting the pronunciation right is a great start because to my knowledge no Datalounger has ever uttered the word!

A gruesome story -But not as much of a mystery as people like to claim. Avalanche. That was the conclusion of the original investigation, and the later one that concluded last year. Extreme sport is risky, and you really have to know what you're doing.

They weren't doing sports R6. People who were to handle the remains were told to prepare themselves for high levels of radiation (suits & drugs). An avalanche scene wouldn't require that.

Also it has come out (from Russian soldiers on their death beds) that they had made more than one trip to where the victims were found (but the other trips were keep top secret).

Victims were missing a tongue, breast tissue & suffered what some called radiation burns. Animals attacks or a natural disaster are only conclusions for the stupid.

I have heard of it, OP. Really interesting mystery. Good topic for a thread.

Yes OP I have heard of it but for some reason it never interested me much. What do the DL sleuths think happened?

Perhaps Gandalf was there and told them “You shall not pass the Dyatlov Pass!”

That's why I love DL - always on the cutting edge of investigating mysterious, unknown tragedies.

I believe COVID's a current manifestation of the Dyatlov Pass Incident.

Clearly God struck them down for unmarried men and women sleeping together in the same tent!

So it's pronounced Death-Love,?

There's an interesting movie about it (fictional). Kind of silly, but entertaining.

Only one body exhibited higher-than-normal radiation. What were first thought to be radiation burns were discovered to be the result of the bodies being buried in ice and ice water for several months. The submersion also explains missing eyes and tongue -First things fish and sea creatures go for. As for "classified missions" the Soviet government routinely classified EVERYTHING. It took several expeditions to locate all of the bodies, and every single one of them was classified as top secret for years.

If the Russians had developed some sort of atomic weapon/ray gun -whatever, its effects would have been seen on all of the bodies, rather than just a couple. And we would have seen subsequent examples of its use in the last 60 years. Everything that was found was consistent with severe weather and an avalanche. Most died of exposure, having fled the tent without proper clothing. Others were buried and crushed under the snow, and their bodies eventually became fish food. Occam's Razor, people!!

Conclusion: a big nothing burger.

Yeppers

Didn’t they eat each other?

What's next? A Keddie Murders thread?

Pick a conspiracy theory -ANY conspiracy theory!

I still wonder if it was wolves or bears? To me, Bigfoot can not be proven...maybe they are from another dimension?

Dyatlov Pass is the natural habitat for both bats and pangolins.

I have never heard of this. Tell me more?

R24, it's a good topic for a thread.

Wolves and otters. Theys my favorites.

R16, that's the sort of party pooping we have no need of here.

Bear? Bears are sweet! Besides, you ever see a bear with forty-foot feet?

Aliens!

IKR?

OMG!

Dyatlov right?

I thought I came across it somewhere in another thread, then read the wiki article. Somehow I remember this team of expert mountain trekkers and scientists took off from a capmsite in the middle of the night and vanished without a trace, high in the Urals or Caucusus or some Soviet bloc mountain range...

I'm quite certain you did not. It must've been a post about another similar incident.

R33 was me. Sorry. Jumpt in without reading

I hope one day we’ll have a thread about it, but I’m not getting my hopes up.

Ok, I know this “incident” is brought up a lot here, but I’ve never heard any really well thought out conspiracy theories for this.

Yetis!

This is what I love about Datalounge: Always something new to explore.

Yuri Yudin the only really cute one survived. So it has a happy ending.

Dyatlov has been thoroughly explored by Datalounge. It comes up again every couple of years or so. It's definitely in the DL Hall of Fame of Strange Occurrences, Disappearances, and Grisly Murders.

Whoooosh!

Until we get a thread, maybe we should rate their dreaminess as though they're K-Pop stars.

Yuri Y's favorite color is dusty rose!

Yuri D was a steamy Scorpio!

Igor D loves Disney movies!

Aleksander K's favorite ice cream flavor is mint chocolate chip!

Yuri K was a premature baby!

I can’t even begin to understand why this is the very first time ever this incident has been the subject of a Datalounge thread. We’re all going to learn so much previously unknown information!

Rustem S always brings freshly baked cookies to a first date!

Nikolay TB loves long walks in the rain!

Semyon Z is acknowledged to be the prankster of the group!

I want to believe it was something supernatural

Apparently one of the hikers got worried that there wouldn't be enough food so he led the rest of the mountain climbers except for the well hung one that he was enamoured with to a plateau that was quite a distance from where they originally set up camp. When the hikers suddenly found themselves in a blizzard, he suggested that they set up camp so that they could keep warm during the storm. Being the only one with any direction sense, he knew that if he left the hikers there, they wouldn't be able to find their way back to the camp where he planned on spending the rest of the day sucking off the well hung guy he liked. Unknown to him, one of the hikers who saw their dickmatized leader ogling the well hung man's package had become suspicious that this might happen, so he left a trail of pirogies that his grandmother packed in his backpack for him before he left for the expedition. Unfortunately, Ming, the Chinese tourist--unreported as one of the mountain climbers by the news--gobbled up all of the pirogies ravenously as they were led away from the camp, foiling the plans of the mountain climber who has left them on the ground to help them all find their way back if they found themselves left to die in the blizzard. The mountain climbers who were led out into the blizzard were forgotten by the leader as he was busy deepthroating the well hung guy and froze to death as they attempted and failed to return find their way back to the camp. Worried that the mountain climbers may have gotten lost, the well hung man set off to find them, with the dickmatized hiker trailing behind him drooling. After what seemed like hours of searching without success, the two men decided to return to camp. Distressed by the potential loss of the other hikers and also frightened for his own life, the well hung man was not able to get it up for the dickmatized one. The dickmatized guy, who couldn't satisfy his hunger for big dick started to experience shlong withdrawal then proceeded to shoot the well hung guy and then himself and no one ever heard from any of the hikers again.

The End.

R51 looks a bit like Benedict Cumberbatch with a mustache.

Can someone start a thread on "There's Something Wrong With Aunt Diane" ? We might as well tackle that mystery too while we are all shut in.
