Cotter Posted February 7, 2019 Posted February 7, 2019 Came across this today, the Dyatlov Pass Incident is being reopened. https://www.foxnews.com/world/russian-officials-reopen-probe-into-mysterious-deaths-of-nine-skiers-in-1959-dyatlov-pass-incident
NatFoot Posted February 7, 2019 Posted February 7, 2019 Don't expect much. From the new inspector: "There is not a single proof, even an indirect one, to favor this (criminal) version. It was either an avalanche, a snow slab or a hurricane,” he said

Patterson-Gimlin Posted February 7, 2019 Posted February 7, 2019 I have read about this and watched several related videos I tend to believe the avalanche, hypothermia hypothesis. Animals after death scavenging the eyes and tongue. Falling in a ravine for the broken bones. Not really much of a mystery to me. The idea of Sasquatch and the Patterson film subject is much more interesting.
Little Foot Posted February 7, 2019 Posted February 7, 2019 I'm curious as to what the autopsy reports say. I don't know whether the Russians (soviets at the time) required autopsies after death in unknown circumstances or not, but I would hope they did. If they didn't, there's no way to say which injuries were peri- and which were post-mortem, meaning there's no way to prove one way or the other. "IF" they did, would they even release that information?
VAfooter Posted February 8, 2019 Admin Posted February 8, 2019 I am certainly not an expert, but from what I know of the Soviets, they most likely conducted very intensive autopsies and examinations of the bodies.
NCBFr Posted February 8, 2019 Posted February 8, 2019 Fascinating story. No clue what happened as you really cannot trust what is presented in shows on the incident. However, looking at the raw pictures clearly show it is not a result of avalanche.

Doesn't explain the figure following them that was captured on their camera unless a coincidence that they saw a Yaren and then were accidentally killed in a military exercise.

I don't think it was an avalanche either.
NCBFr Posted February 8, 2019 Posted February 8, 2019 Do you think this pic is real or made up by producers of the Russian Yeti? I think it is simply a fat dude in dark clothing. 1
Patterson-Gimlin Posted February 8, 2019 Posted February 8, 2019 (edited) Obviously nothing to consider here. I am not surprised by the responses. I would expect no less from people who are easily convinced that mythical creatures exist. Edited February 8, 2019 by Patterson-Gimlin 1
Huntster Posted February 8, 2019 Posted February 8, 2019 While I believe that reopening a case decades old like this without compelling new evidence is usually silly, I will opine that Russians are more likely to "discover" these hominids before North Americans are.

Doug Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 I think the infrasound theory I read somewhere about this is interesting.
Patterson-Gimlin Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 I also read that. Interesting but not very convincing
