What If You Never Came Home? Pt. 2 – The Dyatlov Pass Incident
In 1959, nine ski hikers and friends entered the Ural mountains, and never came home. What followed was a months long investigation with little conclusion, as to what happened to the group of hikers. Skiers. Skikers? Hiers?
Through some “unknown compelling force” (as the official explanation would finally say), the nine friends left their tent in below zero temperatures, half-clothed, and proceeded to die of various causes, including crushing of bones, exposure, and removal of body parts. How and why they did what they did, is the topic of today’s episode of The What If? Podcast.
