The Dyatlov Pass incident explained by modern science

The Dyatlov Pass incident explained by modern science

Background: "Search parties would discover the bodies of all nine students, in separate locations, all approximately a mile from their camp site. The seven men and two women were found half-dressed, nearly all without boots (left behind in their tent) and some without socks. Autopsies would reveal that six of the nine died from hypothermia, but three were deemed to have perished from violent injuries, with one victim missing her tongue. Adding to the mystery, a radiologist determined that the hikers’ clothing contained abnormal levels of radiation, and it was established that the group’s tent had been cut open from the inside out. What no one could explain was what possessed the inadequately-dressed skier-hikers to venture away from their only source of shelter into the bitter cold of a dark, windy, midwinter night."
