The 8th dyatlov pass headline on Hacker News. It's like Groundhog Day.
A thread from 2016: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11828346
This is one of those mysteries where the sensational story covered up fairly mundane facts.

They also made a movie out of it https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_dyatlov_pass_incident used to be on Netflix, not sure if it still is. It wasn't bad.
Terminal burial. Paradoxical undressing. People do strange things when they get cold. In winter mountains, it is not unusual to find bodies in unusual situations. People abandon warm tents, walk barefoot, and make stupid route decisions.
I first heard about this from those mini-documentaries that lemmino does on youtube
it's a great video explaining many of the theories revolving this incident
Tent put in stupid spot on snow slope leading to it being hit by small avalanche in night, which slammed metal stove and wooden bunks into injured victims. Panicked, they cut open the tent from inside and ran from the slope, fearing another, worse avalance, taking injured people with them (leaving torch on tent in rush). Put the most injured in a small snow cave, wrapped her with their clothing, thinking they could go back for more and stay warm with a fire, but ran out of firewood (all small lower branches were broken from surrounding trees). Person/s tried to go back to tent and died of cold on way, others died quickly afterwards (paradoxical undressing etc). Nothing weird happened at all. Probably too much alcohol, stupidity, dumb decisions and then panick. There is a full Russian coroners report online.
