I know this is completely out of left field, but has anyone ever heard of this tragedy from 1959? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyatlov_Pass_incident
Crazy story. I have limited media entertainment sources on the ship, and watched an episode about this on the Discovery Network.
Yup -- it's absolutely fascinating. I only heard about it a year or two back because You're Wrong About had a great episode with Blair Braverman that went into the story. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQFw32uZLvg&list=PL3AQlUaEy3QL4ghqypSNbF3WQx_u2m7mL&index=10

The avalanche theory makes sense to me, especially after seeing it on the Discovery Channel, but you never know for sure.

I agree, but that letter showing the investigation began a week earlier than the supposed discovery does raise questions.
reply
the story as we know it was so distorted by the communist disinformation dept that we can't be sure of anything. They always add more deceitful info to move people's attention on a false path.
reply
That's why I say we'll never know for sure. One thing I do know is that people love a good conspiracy theory and a juicy investigative story. This case is just another one that piques people's curiosity. And coming from Russia, well, we know how that goes...

Yes, there's also a movie about. Is good.

There seems to have been some government cover-up (surprise!) and many possibilities.

The gov coverup it is expected. Remember that was during the peak of the communist regime in URSS and these kind of events they were always trying to coverup with more lies. The communist regimes had a powerful propaganda and disinformation machine. Sometimes the members of this machine are so obedient and scrupulous in doing their job, that even go way beyond the instructions they receive, looking only for theirown personal goals to climb the ladder in the party for a better position that could bring them more privileges. Let me search for that movie and will post here the link. Is really good.

I definitely want to see the movie. Maybe it's a case of the government just covering up because that's how they operate, when there was really nothing to cover up. On the other hand, the missile fragment and the high radiation levels are interesting.

I will give a little spoiler: it wasn't any UFO or something like that.... Here, now you have even more suspense 😂😂😂
Here you have the torrent to download it https://www.magnetdl.com/d/devils-pass/

In the Discovery episode I think they said they never even tried to ignite the stove? That was odd considering the incredible cold. Maybe they were referring to a separate heater? I don't know for sure.
