The death of the group by a cow. Scientists have revealed the secret of the death of tourists at the Dyatlov pass. Turned out to be the most persistent

The most famous and mysterious case of the death of tourists is the tragedy that happened to the Dyatlov group in early February 1959. The circumstances have not yet been clarified, and several dozen versions have been put forward. This story is known all over the world and formed the basis of several artistic and documentaries... However, few people know that a similar and no less mysterious and tragic story thirty years later took place on one of the passes in Buryatia.

In August 1993, to Irkutsk from Kazakhstan on railroad a group of seven tourists arrived to go to the Khamar-Daban ridge. Forecasters promised suitable weather for the ascent, and the group set off for the mountains. It consisted of three young men, three girls and 41-year-old leader Lyudmila Korovina, who had the title of master of sports in walking tourism. The Khamar-Daban ridge does not shake with its height. The most high point- 2,396 meters. Situated on ledges, with pointed peaks and ridges, the ridge is one of the oldest mountains on our planet. These Beautiful places visited annually by thousands of tourists. Valentina Utochenko Valentina Utochenko The group moved from the village of Murino to one of the most high mountains a ridge named Hanulu. Its height is 2371 meters. After walking about 70 kilometers in 5 - 6 days, the tourists stopped for a halt between the peaks of Golets Yagelny (2204m) and Tritrans (2310m).

Weather forecasters, however, did not guess. For several days in a row, it snowed and rained and the wind blew. At about 11 o'clock on August 5, when the tourists were about to leave the temporary parking lot, one of the guys became ill. Further, from the words of the only survivor Valentina Utochenko:

Relay tower
After some time, the girl stumbled upon an abandoned relay tower at an altitude of 2310 meters, where she spent another night all alone. And in the morning the tourist noticed the pillars going down from the tower. Valentina realized that they should lead her to people, but the houses to which wires had once been forwarded turned out to be abandoned.

But Valentina went to the Snezhnaya River and moved downstream, on the sixth day after the tragedy she accidentally saw her and was picked up by a water tour group. They had already sailed past, but decided to return, it seemed suspicious that the tourist did not answer their greetings. From the shock, the girl did not speak for several days. Interestingly, the daughter of Lyudmila Korovina with another tour group walked along a nearby route and agreed to meet with her mother at their intersection. But when Lyudmila's group did not come to the collection point, Korovina Jr. thought that they were simply late due to bad weather and continued on their way, at the end of which she went home, not suspecting that her mother was no longer alive. For some unknown reason, the search dragged on, the bodies of tourists were found only when about a month had passed since the death of the guys and their leader !!!

The picture was terrible, rescuers recall. The helicopter descended, and everyone on board witnessed a terrible sight: “The bodies are already swollen, everyone's eye sockets are completely eaten away. Almost all of the victims were dressed in thin leotards, while three were barefoot. The leader was lying on top of Alexandra ... ”What happened on the plateau? Why, freezing, did the participants of the hike take off their shoes? Why did the woman lie on the dead guy? Why didn't anyone use sleeping bags? All these questions remained unanswered. In Ulan-Ude, an autopsy was performed, which showed that all six died from hypothermia, and the investigation agreed that the tragedy was caused by the mistakes and incompetence of the group leader. But the facts say the opposite!

Dyatlov pass theme and the mystery of the death of students on it worries many, a lot of hypotheses, films were made. Even in the Battle of the Psychics, they tried to unravel the mystery - every psychic has its own version.
And here's another, apparently not the last "scientifically grounded" version.
New research by scientists has pointed to the possible cause of death of the tourist group Igor Dyatlov in 1959. Experts linked the death of people with a similar accident, when in 1993 a group of tourists from Kazakhstan died in Buryatia in circumstances similar to the history of the "Dyatlovites".

So in the 93rd year, a group of students led Lyudmila Korovina went to the Khamar-Daban pass. Out of seven people, only one returned - Valentina Utochenko... She does not want to remember the horror she experienced.

Vladislav Rzhavtsev- a member of a local tourist club, also walked the fatal route to study the causes of those terrible events, REN-TV reports.

"Then there was a very strong cyclone, the weather deteriorated sharply. If even a day before they passed, well, the weather followed them immediately, but was more or less bearable, then on the morning of August 5, according to the surviving Valentina, it snowed, the temperature dropped sharply, almost to zero", - explains the researcher.

For several days it was snowing and raining over the mountains. Exhausted, the tourists took a break. The mountains in this part are completely bare, only stones, grass and wind. Why the group did not go down to the edge of the forest is unknown. Had to spend the night on a rocky peak. On the morning of August 5, the tourists set off.

"There was a hurricane wind, there was snow, it was cold. Here is the first to fall Alexander Krysin, the strongest, the right hand of Lyudmila Ivanovna Korovina. His nose and mouth are bleeding, and, according to Valentina, he is dying. At least he loses consciousness and cannot go further", continues Rzhavtsev.

After that, complete chaos began in the group. Someone started to hide and run away. Someone banged their heads against stones. The rest behaved like out of their minds. This is what the search and rescue report says. People tore at their clothes. Some had nosebleeds. Lyudmila Korovina died of a heart attack.

"The fact is that Valentina did not understand anything either. Perfectly healthy guys fall, tore their clothes, bang their heads against stones and die one after another. She could not understand what had happened, and when she realized that there was nothing she could do, she just went downstairs to somehow sit out this storm.", - explains Rzhavtsev.

Valentin Utochenko a few days later, picked up by other tourists. The band's official cause of death Korovina- hypothermia. But the researchers insist - people died from something else. Yes, they were lightly dressed, but there were warm clothes in their backpacks.

"They would be able to get dressed, get overcooled, a person cannot freeze so quickly. They died abruptly. They had enough time to get dressed. They began to choke, and by all indications it was poisoning.", - suggests a member of the tourist club Natalia Rzhavtseva.

Researchers insist: in death groups of Igor Dyatlov and Lyudmila Korovina too much in common to be a coincidence. Both those and others left the parking lot in a panic, as if they were frightened by something. The bodies were found in various places. As if people were falling down dead, many were not wearing outerwear.

One of the initiators of the campaign to Holat-Chahl Vladimir Borzenkov I am sure that the cause of death of people was infrasound.

"If you take the top of two neighboring mountains and draw a straight line between them, then along the ridge itself with a wind speed of about 15 meters per second, about 60 tons of air per second passes. I believe that this is the most likely source of this infrasound that could affect the Dyatlov group", - the researcher assures.

Igor Dyatlov's group died on the night of 1 to 2 February 1959. Tourists from the club of the Ural Polytechnic went on a hike to the village of Vizhay Sverdlovsk region... The day before the tragedy, they had already tried to climb the Kholat-Chakhl pass. Because of the stormy wind, they did not succeed, they postponed the ascent for the next day.

"In the dark, the moment "X" came, the so-called, when the group was forced to hastily leave the tent. They could have come out through the entrance, of course. However, they were forced to go to last resort and cut the tent. The urgency of flight is also indicated by the fact that the group was practically not dressed.", - explains Borzenkov.

The Dyatlovites ran out into the frost naked. That night, the temperature dropped to minus 28 degrees. Later, rescuers found warm clothes and shoes in the tent. The bodies of the tourists were found at an impressive distance from the camp.

What made people flee in panic? Some even barefoot.

Hypothermia was recognized as the official cause of death. Many versions have been put forward - from an avalanche to a UFO. However, today we can say: expedition killed by sound waves.

"Only something extraordinary could force one to leave the tent, in particular, for example, some kind of influence on the psyche. The brain, which has its own frequencies, was influenced by something external. In particular, an acoustic wave could have acted", - says the researcher.

Few people know that if a person is exposed to low-frequency sounds, instant death will occur. No doctor will give an explanation for this. Scientists have carried out a number of experiments. The animals were exposed to infrasound, and this led to rupture of cerebral vessels and cardiac arrest.

"Even not very strong levels of infrasound affect the mental state of a person. In particular, a feeling of fear arises, a feeling of insecurity, internal organs begin to tremble. With an increase in the amplitude of the sound, breathing disorders can occur and heart rhythms go astray. Higher sound levels lead to damage associated with oxygen supply to the brain", - explains scientist-acoustician Kanaev.

Fierce winds in the Ural and Transbaikal passes could turn into a tornado. They walked far from the tents and tourist camps. And they didn't even damage them. But the tornado caused an unusual phenomenon. People felt the influence of infrasound, so in a terrible panic they rushed to run.

"Infrasound influences not only the human psyche, but also the whole organism as a whole. These vibrations are dangerous because they are difficult to detect. For example, fluctuations of 7-8 hertz can also cause disturbances in the work of thought processes, panic, a feeling of inexplicable anxiety, danger", - comments Svetlana Artemova, candidate of medical sciences.

Despite the development of science, infrasound is still poorly understood. It is only known that these are low frequency waves. We do not hear them, but we obey them.

The latest research by scientists confirms that infrasound causes panic, horror in people, can drive you crazy and even cause cardiac arrest. The most thorough investigation will not find any traces. Strong winds at sea or in the mountains, thunderstorms and even aurora borealis are one of the reasons for the appearance of infrasound. Now the researchers are sure: the mysterious death of two expeditions is indisputable proof of the existence of a fantastic killer sound.

PS (Valex). My version was that this ball lightning... However, the appearance of fireballs is sometimes accompanied by strange sound waves, so it is possible two in one. Also, there is no need to discard the option of testing psi-weapons in those places, because some options for psi-weapons are just based on infrasonic impact on the subconscious of a person, causing panic in the crowd or in the enemy's army.

The most famous and mysterious case of the death of tourists is the tragedy that happened to the Dyatlov group in early February 1959. The circumstances have not yet been clarified, and several dozen versions have been put forward.

This story is known all over the world and formed the basis for several feature films and documentaries.

It consisted of three young men, three girls and 41-year-old leader Lyudmila Korovina, who had the title of master of sports in walking tourism. The Khamar-Daban ridge does not shake with its height. The highest point is 2,396 meters. Situated on ledges, with pointed peaks and ridges, the ridge is one of the oldest mountains on our planet. Thousands of tourists visit these beautiful places every year.

Valentina Utochenko The group moved from the village of Murino to one of the highest mountains of the ridge called Khanulu. Its height is 2371 meters. After walking about 70 kilometers in 5 - 6 days, the tourists stopped for a halt between the peaks of Golets Yagelny (2204m) and Tritrans (2310m).

Weather forecasters, however, did not guess. For several days in a row, it snowed and rained and the wind blew. At about 11 o'clock on August 5, when the tourists were about to leave the temporary parking lot, one of the guys became ill. Further, from the words of the only survivor Valentina Utochenko:

“Sasha fell, blood began to flow from his ears, foam came from his mouth. Lyudmila Ivanovna Korovina stayed with him, appointed Denis the senior, said to go down as low as possible, but not to enter the forest, then the guys Vika, Tanya, Timur began to fall and roll on the ground - symptoms like a choking person.

Denis said - quickly take the essentials from our backpacks and run downstairs. I bent over my backpack, pulled out my sleeping bag, raised my head: Denis fell and tore his clothes. I tried to drag by the hand with me, but he broke free and ran away. She ran downstairs without letting go of the sleeping bag. I spent the night under a boulder, hiding with my head in a sleeping bag, it was scary. Trees were falling along the edge of the forest from the hurricane. In the morning the wind died down, more or less dawn. I went up to the place of the tragedy. "

Lyudmila Ivanovna was still alive, but she practically could not move, showed in which direction Valya to go out and passed out. Valya closed the eyes of the guys, packed her things, found a compass and went ...

After some time, the girl stumbled upon an abandoned relay tower at an altitude of 2310 meters, where she spent another night all alone. And in the morning the tourist noticed the pillars going down from the tower. Valentina realized that they should lead her to people, but the houses, to which the wires had once been conducted, turned out to be abandoned.

There were seven of them: three girls, three boys and their 41-year-old group leader, a master of sports in hiking. The group set off on the assigned route of the fourth category of difficulty through Khamar-Daban. Only one person returned ...

"The Mystery of the Dyatlov Pass". The film with that name was released last week. The speech in the tape is about one of the most mysterious secrets of the Urals - in February 1959. However, no less scary tale occurred 20 years ago in Buryatia, at the Khamar-Daban pass.

In 1993 in the area Peak Repeater (Mount Tritrans) almost all tourist group... Only one participant of that fateful campaign survived.

This is an attempt to restore the history of the tragic events on Khamar-Daban according to the people who were involved in the search for the tour group and who were investigating the incident. In the course of work on the material, the correspondents were surprised at how much the details of the tragedies converged.

A bit of history

We will not particularly retell the mysterious events that happened to the tourists from the Dyatlov group. The media tried to reconstruct the events on the slope of Mount Kholatchakhl (translated from Mansi as "Mountain of the Dead") at the "Battle of Psychics"; based on the state of emergency, a documentary, and now a feature film, was filmed.

However, all versions (a blow from a secret weapon, tourists went crazy, killed by the military, fell under an avalanche, poisoned with poisons) are only hypothetical. Until now, no one knows what happened on Mount Holotchakhl. Anyone interested in this story can find on the Internet a lot of documentary evidence, photographs, artistic versions and scientific hypotheses.

So this fatal peak is not deprived of attention. But this cannot be said about the incident on Khamar-Daban, where six people from Petropavlovsk-Kazakhskiy died. During the investigation, we had to collect material literally bit by bit.

Unfortunately, little is known about some of the details. And the only survivor of the fatal campaign, which we managed to find through social networks, did not give an answer to our questions. Apparently, it’s just hard for her to remember what happened. rainy august 1993 in the mountains of Buryatia.

A series of strange deaths

There was little media coverage of the tragedy at Tritrans Peak. Of the local editions, only one of the Irkutsk newspapers wrote about the state of emergency. But in Kazakhstan they talked a lot about this event. Therefore, in terms of the chronology of the emergency, we will rely on their messages.

In August 1993, a group of tourists arrived by train from Petropavlovsk-Kazakh.

This is a completely bare part of the mountains, there are only stones, grass and wind, - the words of Leonid Izmailov, the former deputy head of the Trans-Baikal Regional Search and Rescue Service, are quoted on the forum.

For several days it was snowing and raining over the mountains. Exhausted, the group took a break. Below, at a distance of four kilometers, lies the edge of the forest. Why tourists did not descend into the forest is still a mystery.

On the morning of August 5, they got ready to go, when suddenly at about 11 o'clock one of the guys started to foam from his mouth, bleeding from his ears. In front of everyone's eyes, Alexander K-in became ill, and he died suddenly, - said Leonid Izmailov.

After that, according to the surviving Valentina U-ko, complete chaos began in the group. “Denis began to hide behind the stones and run away, Tatyana banged her head against the stones, Victoria and Timur were probably crazy. Lyudmila Ivanovna died of a heart attack ”- such data were recorded in the report on search and rescue and transportation operations from the words of the surviving girl.

And here is how Kazakh athletes describe what happened on the forum:

... “After a while, two girls fall at once, begin to skate, tore off their clothes, grab at their throats, the symptoms are the same, the boy falls behind them. The girl and the guy are left, they decide to leave the essentials in their backpacks and run down. The girl bent over her backpack while she was laying it out, raises her head, the last guy with the same symptoms is rolling on the ground. The girl ran downstairs. I spent the night under a stone, on the edge of a forest zone, trees felling nearby like matches. I got up back in the morning. "

... “Having separated from the group and not knowing how to escape, the tourists died one by one from hypothermia and exhaustion. Stretched out on the slope and died one after another. "

... “I read about it a few years ago on some website ... A hypothesis was put forward about the effect of infrasound: strong wind, specific relief ”.

... "I heard a version about poisoning with some kind of gas ...".

Seeing the dead, Valentina went in search of people. She was rescued by Ukrainian water tourists. They first sailed past, but decided to return - it seemed to them suspicious that the girl did not answer their greetings. The girl did not speak for several days. The corpses were removed almost a month later, they were buried in zinc - the weather, animals and birds did a good job ...

The picture was terrible, rescuers recall. Almost all of the victims were dressed in thin leotards, while three were barefoot. What happened on the plateau? Why, freezing, did the participants of the hike take off their shoes? These questions remained unanswered. An autopsy was performed in Ulan-Ude, which showed that all six died from hypothermia.

So, it is worth summing up some results. The events at Mountain of the Dead and Tritrans Peak have a number of similar details. But there are also differences.

Similarities and differences of incidents.

Dyatlov group.

Time and place of emergency: February 1959, Ural mountains, the slope of Mount Holatchakhl.

Number: 10 people. Killed 9. Only 1 survived (due to illness, he was forced to interrupt the ascent and returned).

Judging by the reports from the emergency site, the group left the parking lot in panic, as if they were terribly frightened by something. The tent was cut open from the inside, personal belongings were thrown.

The bodies were found in various places. The impression was that the Dyatlovites simply fell dead. Many were not wearing outerwear.

The dead were found to have strange intravital trauma to internal organs. The experts explained the trauma of external organs (absence of eyes, tongue) by the fact that the bodies had been lying in the forest for a long time and could become prey for animals.

The official version of death: a spontaneous force, which people were unable to overcome. For all the victims, it was concluded that death was caused by exposure to low temperatures (freezing).

Korovina's group

Time and place of the emergency: August 1993.

Number: 7 people. Killed 6. 1 tourist survived.

According to reports on Kazakh forums, the group panicked. The reason is the sudden death of a tourist. The bodies were found in almost one place. Some were not wearing outerwear. No injuries were found on the bodies. The official version of the death: the tourists froze.

Versions

The tourists are frozen

In the days of August 1993, the rescuer Yuri Golius, well-known in Buryatia, is in charge of the search for the bodies of the dead tourists. Here's what he said:

Specialists of our control and rescue service served climbers, hikers and ski tourists. All organized tourist groups with a route sheet and a route book were registered with the Committee for Civil Defense and Emergencies. Including the group of Lyudmila Korovina, who led a group of children from Kazakhstan.

In 1993, the country hosted the so-called "Turiada" - massive hikes in forests and mountains. The group of Lyudmila Korovina also took part in them. By the way, at that moment on Khamar-Daban, but her daughter was in the other group. The mother and daughter agreed in advance to meet at a certain place, but the second group did not come in time.

I was in Kyren when I was informed that water tourists had brought a girl from a group lost in the mountains to Slyudyanka. I met with Valya U-ko. The girl was in a state of shock. Nevertheless, I asked her to give an explanatory note. According to her, before the onset of the fateful night, the group gathered and dried the golden root at the pass all day. The whole day there was a cold rain with snow, a strong wind was blowing. Exhausted tourists were very cold and hungry.

The version of what happened on the fatal morning of August 5 was discussed above. Now about what happened next.

The girl took the sleeping bag and went down the slope. She spent one night in the forest, and the next morning she climbed the pass, closed the eyes of her dead comrades. After that, she walked along the ridge, saw the pillars going down from a nearby relay tower, went down to the Snezhnaya River and moved downstream. There she was noticed by tourists, - says the lifeguard.

Specialists from Chita and Gusinoozersk joined the detachment of Yuri Golius, and an investigator from the prosecutor's office was in one of the helicopters. When the team from Irkutsk arrived, the bodies of the tourists were found. About a month has passed since the death of the guys and their leader.

According to Yuri Golius, hypothermia and loss of strength became the cause of death of tourists.

Unfavorable coincidence of circumstances

Exactly five years after the tragedy, a well-known journalist in Buryatia and experienced traveler Vladimir Zharov.

There was much that was unclear about this incident. Therefore, I decided to completely repeat the route of the Kazakh group and investigate what had happened on the spot, - Vladimir Zharov told Inform Police.

He timed his trip to the 5-year date of the death of the group.

In the same way, I walked along the Langutai River, through the Langutai Gates pass and went to the Tritrans peak, on the slope of which the group died, - says Zharov.

Inspection of the place of emergency made it possible to draw certain conclusions.

You can talk about a whole chain of tragic circumstances. The most important thing, of course, is the weather. August 1993 was very rainy. Later, the Kazakh athletes who came to the place of the death of the group could not believe in any way - it's summer outside, the heat is at 30 degrees, and our people freeze to death. However, this is most likely the case, - says Vladimir Zharov.

It was raining almost all the days when Korovina's group walked along the route.

Imagine a cold rain pouring down day and night. Clothes and tents are wet. It is difficult to light a fire. On Khamar-Daban and in normal weather, this is difficult to do, everything is damp. And here it rains for several days! Therefore, the guys were tired and cold by August 5, - says Vladimir Zharov.

Food, which was enough only for the so-called "external heating" of the body, did not save me from the cold either. There were a number of other reasons as well. For example, many wondered why the group stopped on the slope, and did not begin to climb to the top, where there was a special platform. There was firewood, a place to rest. It took only 30 minutes to walk to this point. But the group stopped on a bare slope. According to Vladimir Zharov, the reason could be the inaccuracy of the map.

It was 1993. The maps weren't as accurate as they are now. The spread between the data on the map and what it actually was was 100 meters. And in the mountains, 100 meters is already a lot, - the journalist explains.

It is possible that the experienced group leader Lyudmila Korovina simply did not find her way in the coming twilight. Or maybe she took pity on the tired guys and stopped, not reaching the top, blown by the winds.

In the morning, Lyudmila Korovina saw that it had snowed. She was an experienced traveler and immediately understood how this threatened the tired and frozen group. Immediately she gave the order - to immediately fold up and go down to the edge of the forest. The guys did just that. We packed our things, rolled up the tents. And then the tragedy happened. In front of everyone's eyes, the oldest student Alexander suddenly fell and died, - says Zharov.

It was a shock. The strongest and oldest of the guys died, the one who could make a fire, chop branches, help carry heavy things, the support and hope of the leader Lyudmila Korovina. It is not hard to imagine what feelings she could have overwhelmed at that moment. After all, she was responsible for the life of each member of the youth group. Korovin gives the only correct command - all tourists must immediately go down to the forest. But she herself remains next to the body of the deceased guy.

What happened next is difficult to find out now. A group of teenagers began an organized descent to the forest. But then they suddenly returned. Why? Did the group leader call them? Or did they themselves decide not to leave Lyudmila Korovina on the snow-covered slope? But what the children saw plunged them into horror - the leader of the group died.

Further actions of the guys are shrouded in mystery. On the forums, they say that teenagers have fallen into despair. Only Valentina U-ko did not lose her composure and tried to take over the management of the group. She tried to calm down the tourists, demanded to execute the last command of Korovina - to go to the forest. She dragged them by the arms, pushed them in front of her.

But, apparently, they did not obey her. The girl, realizing that all her actions were useless, went to the edge of the forest alone. In the morning, she found that all the other members of the group were dead.

Inspection of the place of emergency, says Vladimir Zharov, showed that hypothermia was the cause of death. In this he completely agrees with Yuri Golius.

I don't see mystics here, - said the traveler. - It was an unfavorable combination of circumstances.
