What Killed 9 Hikers at Dyatlov Pass?

In 1959, nine hikers vanished in Russia’s Ural Mountains. Their tent was slashed from the inside. Bodies were found barefoot in the snow—some with catastrophic internal injuries, one with a missing tongue—and traces of radiation on their clothing. To this day, the Dyatlov Pass Incident remains unsolved.

In this video, we walk through the facts and the leading theories: avalanche or slab slide, katabatic winds, military tests (pressure-wave/parachute mines), and the stranger reports—glowing lights, bizarre injuries, and a cover-up that never quite adds up.
