The story of the Detloff Road accident

 







In January 1959, nine Russian university students mysteriously were killed while hiking through the Urals in what is now the Detlov Road Incident or the Devil's Way Incident.


The story begins On January 31, 1959, 23-year-old adventurer and skier Igor Alekseevich Dyatlov and his team of eight professional skiers who were students at the Ural Polytechnical Institute embarked on a journey to reach the summit of Otorten, within the Northern Ural mountain range.



The ice covers the place throughout the year and the height of the mountain is about 1000 meters, but before setting off Yuri Yudin withdrew from the adventure due to the circumstances of his illness and friends continued their journey without him and because of bad weather they decided to set up a camp on the edge of the mountain so as not to descend all the distance they climbed in the hope of completing their adventure the next day, but after several days the bodies of young men were found.



A set of cameras and daily diaries were found after that, and the leader of the group Igor had agreed with the climbing club to send a telegram upon their arrival in the Vizai area on February 12 and no one worried about the absence of students, delays are common, but on February 20, the students' parents demanded the rescue authority to search for them, and the body was made up of volunteers and soldiers from the army in that period The Soviet Union before it dissolved, and on February 26 The student camp was found their tents were torn but all their stuff from cameras and their daily diaries are the same and the clothes and shoes but what made them run away from their tents naked.



The bodies of the students were found in the vicinity of the camp and an investigation began on the bodies that were found and the investigation concluded that the death was the result of hypothermia, but after the rest of the bodies were found, this belief did not last, as they were fatally injured, their skin turned orange and their hair turned gray, and a very high percentage of toxins was found in their bodies, including two bodies that were contaminated with radiation, and the bodies of the ribs were broken, and there were fractures from the inside without wounds. This added to the mystery of their murder.


And strangely enough, one of the bodies was heartless? And the other there was a cut in the chest and the other without a tongue and the wonder there was no trace of snow for their feet, and the investigation concluded that the death of young people was the result of an unknown force and the case was closed quickly after the intervention of the Soviet government led by Stalin and the file was closed very secret, and strangely that one of the members of the rescue body wrote a novel entitled The Devil's Way tells what happened, but he was found dead after that in his car and no one tried to open the accident file and closed Completely.



One of the most prominent theories explained is the occurrence of an avalanche and there is another conclusion by conducting nuclear tests that led to their deaths, and some think that the snowman is the mythical creature who killed them, and some said that it was a brutal attack from a mysterious creature, and after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the case was opened again, but to no avail and remains stuck without any explanation.
