My friend, also a student of UPI Moses Akselrod said, that most probably it was an avalanche. I asked him - would you be scared of an avalanche? He shook his head. So Dyatlov wouldn’t be scared as well.
I only knew one person: investigator Ivanov. He behaved surprisingly detached. He didn’t even make enough photos of the crime scene. If I was an investigator, I would be all over the place, documenting everything. And he was indifferent, hands in his pockets. Apparently, everything was clear to him and that's why everything is already indifferent. In my opinion, he did not even approach the bodies
Reading between the lines
True, there was a Moscow radiologist with a dosimeter there on the pass. He took measurements, but we were not informed about the results.
Because they knew the area was contaminated.

And he was indifferent, hands in his pockets. Apparently, everything was clear to him and that's why everything is already indifferent. In my opinion, he did not even approach the bodies. By the way, on the same day Ivanov flew away. We talked with him before the left, and he told me - I promise you as a reward photos from Dyatlov's films. But he didn’t give me anything.
Because he already knew what had happened. This was no longer an investigation, it was about recovering the bodies and covering up the truth.
To transport bodies according to the instructions, we needed a special packing, but we did not have it. And here for the first time Colonel Ortyukov took out a pistol, threatening the pilots. I did not know that he had a gun. But the pilots still refused to board the corpses without the packaging. They were transported the next day, when special bags were provided.
Why special bags? Because they already knew the bodies were likely to be contaminated with radiation. Wasn't this before the clothing and biological samples were taken for radiological analysis?
Why did you decide that on there was a murder on the pass?
– I thought a lot about this and came to the conclusion that no spontaneous force could kill the nine healthy and fit guys. They could not just freeze in those conditions
The above is the opinion of an experienced hiker. He can’t see how they could have frozen to death!
He also likes the theory of the toxic cloud driving them from the tent.
Maybe toxic nitrogen dioxide cloud forces them from camp and affects their breathing to the point where they are confused and function properly which results in the injuries.
He already knows that the rocket theory is a cover up. So what are they covering up and why?

Vladimir Askindazi seems like a convincing and reliable witness. But its only his supposition at play here . Maybe the freezing was a contributory factor to some of the deaths. Toxic Cloud, I would have thought unlikely to have driven them a mile without adequate clothing to survive. And then what about the other strange events, i e the climbing of the Tree, The making of the so called Den, the extraordinary injuries of some at the Ravine. How do they fit in with a Toxic Cloud ! ? Especially abandoning a safe place to go to certain DEATH.

Although he likes the toxic cloud idea. I don't think he really understands how a toxic cloud could have been there. He doesn't say anything about it. On the other hand I can see how a toxic cloud could have descended on the camp. Several square kilometres of it. Enough to drive them from the camp and lead to the events at the cedar, the den and the injuries. A low yield nuke could do it.
In a way I would prefer if a low yield nuke was not a likely option. I think I would prefer that it was just some freak natural accident. Even the Yeti would sit better with me. But after reviewing the files it scores highly. The radiation, the deaths, the injuries, the secrecy and cover up, the moratorium and implications of the truth.
Something happened that night. Something really bad. Even without the tent and the shoes they should have survived.
I think some of them did actually freeze. Dyatlov probably froze to death, and the cold would certainly have the effect of speeding up their demise. But there was something else. Some other hazard or threat that meant that even with their skill and experience there was little hope.

Toxic Cloud as in Gas Cloud ! ? In confined spaces like a small or even large room I would say yes a Gas of some kind could cause people to flee that room in panic. But thats about it. They would then gather their senses, unless the Gbas was of a nature that DISABLED them. The Dyatlov Tent was in a fairly windy location. Any wind would surely blow away any Gas, or maybe the right word is DISSIPATE the Gas. You suggest several kilometres of Gas. If it was poisonous then that amount of Gas would surely kill them all very quickly. So I keep finding holes in the Gas Theory.

Not quite. Let me explain. A nuclear mushroom cloud is toxic. It is radio toxic due to the fission products, but it is also chemically toxic due to the formation of nitrogen dioxide. A 1kt - 3kt low yield device would produce between 5 an 15 metric tonnes of NO2 within a 500 m diameter fire ball. Evenly dispersed this would give a concentration between 37 and 111 parts per million within the mushroom cloud, both concentrations are above the toxic threshold. this cloud if settled over the landscape could form a 6 metre thick blanket over 10 square kilometres. It's a lot.
Under normal circumstances the fire ball and gases would rise and disperse becoming more diluted. The dusts generated can cause seeding and can eventually result in precipitation of water forming a black radioactive rain.
But the conditions on Kholat Syakhl were far from normal. The temperatures were well below zero. Nitrogen dioxide is a liquid at temperatures around 20 Celsius and a white solid at temperatures below -11 Celsius. The mushroom cloud on Kholat Syakhl that night would rapidly cool first precipitating and then freezing the nitrogen dioxide into tiny frozen droplets/particles that being much heavier than air would fall toward the ground, touching down within a kilometre or so. It would probably behave more like frozen water vapour than a gas. In precipitating and freezing it is also more concentrated within the tiny particles. These particles would be whipped up and transported along the ground by the wind, flowing over the mountain Inhalation of this vapour would result in immediate distress and panic. The tiny particles of NO2 when they come into contact with the warm lungs and airways would vaporise again into much larger volumes of toxic gas.
Nitrogen dioxide although toxic can take hours to kill you and can have a delayed effects, as the nitrogen dioxide slowly turns into nitric acid in the lungs eventually resulting in inflammation of the lung tissues and Odema followed by death.
So contrary to how a normal gas would behave and become diluted and be blown away, the circumstances meant that the nitrogen dioxide could actually become more concentrated as it precipitates.

Chlorine gas attack is a good example of how a heavy gas hugs the ground. This is similar to how nitrogen dioxide would behave on Kholat Syakhl.

It's all based on calculation.
The mass of nitrogen dioxide generated is given by m=5000x where x is yield in mega tonnes and m is in tonnes? This from the literature.
For 1E-3 mega tonnes or 1kt gives m = 5 tonnes = 5E6 grammes
Number of moles = 5E6/46. 46 being relative molecular mass of nitrogen dioxide
Number of moles = 108.69 kmoles
Volume of 1 mole of gas is about 21 litres at -20 Celsius or 0.021 cubic metres, calculated using ideal gas equation
Therefore total volume of nitrogen dioxide produced on Kholat Syakhl from 1kt is 2282.6 cubic metres
Volume of 500 metre diameter fire ball = 65.45E6 cubic metres
Concentration of NO2= 2282.6/65.45E6 = 3.5E-5 = 35 ppm
It comes out at 35ppm rather than 37 as I have slightly adjusted for temperatures.
For every 1kt of yield the concentration increases by 35 ppm
65.45E6 cubic metres of gas if stretched out as a 6 metres slab equates to 10.9E6 square metres. 1 square km is 1E6 square metres which gives 10.9 square kilometres of toxic gas.
Nitrogen dioxide even as a gas is heavier than air. It has a relative atomic mass of 46 whereas air has an average relative atomic mass of 29 so it sinks. It's slightly heavier than carbon dioxide gas.
Irrespective of its weight, below 21 Celsius it is a volatile liquid and will precipitate into droplets at nucleation sites such as small dust particles. At -11 Celsius the droplets will freeze into a fine foggy mist. The small solid particles will fall out of the air and be blown along.
It is well known that nitrogen dioxide does not kill you immediately if exposed. It can take many hours before its effects can eventually result in death.
There isn't any guessing in it.

Why did you decide that on there was a murder on the pass?
– I thought a lot about this and came to the conclusion that no spontaneous force could kill the nine healthy and fit guys. They could not just freeze in those conditions
The above is the opinion of an experienced hiker. He can’t see how they could have frozen to death!
He also likes the theory of the toxic cloud driving them from the tent.
Maybe toxic nitrogen dioxide cloud forces them from camp and affects their breathing to the point where they are confused and function properly which results in the injuries.
He already knows that the rocket theory is a cover up. So what are they covering up and why?
Vladimir Askindazi seems like a convincing and reliable witness. But its only his supposition at play here . Maybe the freezing was a contributory factor to some of the deaths. Toxic Cloud, I would have thought unlikely to have driven them a mile without adequate clothing to survive. And then what about the other strange events, i e the climbing of the Tree, The making of the so called Den, the extraordinary injuries of some at the Ravine. How do they fit in with a Toxic Cloud ! ? Especially abandoning a safe place to go to certain DEATH.
Although he likes the toxic cloud idea. I don't think he really understands how a toxic cloud could have been there. He doesn't say anything about it. On the other hand I can see how a toxic cloud could have descended on the camp. Several square kilometres of it. Enough to drive them from the camp and lead to the events at the cedar, the den and the injuries. A low yield nuke could do it.
In a way I would prefer if a low yield nuke was not a likely option. I think I would prefer that it was just some freak natural accident. Even the Yeti would sit better with me. But after reviewing the files it scores highly. The radiation, the deaths, the injuries, the secrecy and cover up, the moratorium and implications of the truth.
Something happened that night. Something really bad. Even without the tent and the shoes they should have survived.
I think some of them did actually freeze. Dyatlov probably froze to death, and the cold would certainly have the effect of speeding up their demise. But there was something else. Some other hazard or threat that meant that even with their skill and experience there was little hope.
Toxic Cloud as in Gas Cloud ! ? In confined spaces like a small or even large room I would say yes a Gas of some kind could cause people to flee that room in panic. But thats about it. They would then gather their senses, unless the Gas was of a nature that DISABLED them. The Dyatlov Tent was in a fairly windy location. Any wind would surely blow away any Gas, or maybe the right word is DISSIPATE the Gas. You suggest several kilometres of Gas. If it was poisonous then that amount of Gas would surely kill them all very quickly. So I keep finding holes in the Gas Theory.
I totally agree with your opinion:
"The Dyatlov Tent was in a fairly windy location. Any wind would surely blow away any Gas, or maybe the right word is DISSIPATE the Gas."
It is important to realize that the whole event has taken place in an open space.
And if they were hit by the toxic gas at the tent, how could they then behave reasonably and logically in the forest and at the den?
The answers to the question you raise are all in the above posts?

They are not answers, they are guesses.
It's all based on calculation.
The mass of nitrogen dioxide generated is given by m=5000x where x is yield in mega tonnes and m is in tonnes? This from the literature.
For 1E-3 mega tonnes or 1kt gives m = 5 tonnes = 5E6 grammes
Number of moles = 5E6/46. 46 being relative molecular mass of nitrogen dioxide
Number of moles = 108.69 kmoles
Volume of 1 mole of gas is about 21 litres at -20 Celsius or 0.021 cubic metres, calculated using ideal gas equation
Therefore total volume of nitrogen dioxide produced on Kholat Syakhl from 1kt is 2282.6 cubic metres
Volume of 500 metre diameter fire ball = 65.45E6 cubic metres
Concentration of NO2= 2282.6/65.45E6 = 3.5E-5 = 35 ppm
It comes out at 35ppm rather than 37 as I have slightly adjusted for temperatures.
For every 1kt of yield the concentration increases by 35 ppm
65.45E6 cubic metres of gas if stretched out as a 6 metres slab equates to 10.9E6 square metres. 1 square km is 1E6 square metres which gives 10.9 square kilometres of toxic gas.

Yes but you do not know if those figures you give are relative to what happened at the Site of the Dyatlov Incident. Thats what I mean by guessing.

All I am really saying is that a low yield device could credibly result in a significant toxic cloud of nitrogen dioxide at the camp and it could be enough to cause them to panic amd flee without collecting their shoes and warm clothes.

It's because normally the tests are not carried out in such frigid conditions and when they are there isn't normally anyone that is exposed to the direct fallout. The chemical toxicity of the cloud is not really what they are interested in as it's only minor compared to the full impact.

When you dug them out, supposedly Semen Zolotaryov had a notebook in one hand, and in another pencil?
– Yes, the memory of the episode with a notebook made a big impression on me. Because Colonel Ortyukov, who directed the searches, somehow behaved inadequately. He jumped like a madman when he saw that there was a notebook in the hands of one of the bodies. We couldn’t say who that was. We didn’t know the guys, and they were practically unrecognizable. So, Ortyukov grabbed the notebook and began to turn the pages, and I stood beside him. She flipped back and forth, but it is empty. And Ortyukov cursed in his heart, I do not remember words exactly, but he said, approximately, something like: "Ah, slug, couldn’t write anything ...".

"Ah, slug, couldn’t write anything ...". It almost feels to me like Colonel Ortyukov felt dissapointed in Zolotaryov for not documenting something he was supposed to. It feels to me like the Colonel was frustrated that (metaphor) his soldier did not succesfully complete his task which was appointed to him.
Rushing towards the notebook is understandable for two reasons;
The notebook may have held the last thoughts of Zolotaryov and possibly the other members of the group, and possibly crucial, lead information about the incident.
The notebook may have been the vital part of documentation on the instructed ''mission''.
And let's not forget the camera carried with Zolotaryov.
What do you think? I find it very odd that most of the officials behaved like they knew what had happened and are just making sure that the aftermath is being dealt with.
And where is this notebook? I suppose it is the same answer as it is with the tent...
