In Memory of KALINA DAMYANOVA (https://dyatlovpass.com/death-in-the-alps)

A recipe for a disaster. The incident happened in 2018 but I only recently learned details from a Swiss documentary, that made me reflect and want to create a source of true information, because the case like every other multiple deaths incidents became a clickbait for YouTube videos and if that is what you need to do, fine, but please get your facts straight. In Memory of Kalina Damyanova.

What was knew for me is that there were not just two groups, the Italians and the French, but also Steve House group of 5. The new details show how different was the destiny of all of them when at the beginning of the day Mario Castiglioni's group wouldn't be the best bet that won't live through the night. As always, I am giving you the details, and urge you to form your own opinion. So many things stacked against Mario. The more I read, the more I am convinced they needed a little break. Saying they should not have gone means they were doomed from the moment they left that morning. But two more groups did the same, and none of them says we shouldn't have. Look at the happy faces of the Steve House group. Mario and Kalina were so close to being in that same frame. If you survive, it is "an adventure". If someone dies, it automatically becomes a catastrophe.

Steve House: "I've been in such situations too many times and know how quickly things can go wrong and you end up on the wrong side. It's often a very narrow ridge. And if you're on the wrong side, it's a matter of life and death."

[ Extreme weather conditions are always likely to be a contributing factor in disasters in mountainous or remote areas such as the Alps or the Urals. I use the word disaster, but with the Dyatlov mystery, obviously, it could be something else. ]

With Sasha Konstantinov, Shura Alekseenkov, and the All-Russian Research Institute of Hydrometeorological Information – World Data Center (http://meteo.ru/) we are working on a more accurate data research on the weather 30 January-2 February 1959.  The Sverdlovsk Region Prosecutor's Office published data from Burmantovo in 2019-2020 (https://dyatlovpass.com/burmantovo-weather-february-1959). Sasha Konstantinov believes that it was wrong or incomplete and wants to prove this using the available materials and his on-site research.

Sasha Konstantinov is the researchers who is helping me with the tree cores. He and Shura Alekseenkov. I downloaded from the National Centers for Environmental Information (https://www.ncei.noaa.gov) data for 149 weather stations in Russia, but as it turned out the data for the dates we are interested and most importantly - hour by hour, turns out to be incomplete for the location we are interested in.

Sasha Konstantinov knows from other sources that there was an Icelandic cyclone that passed nearby but the questions is how close. Furthermore, as his analysis shows, extremely dangerous weather conditions periodically arise in the Dyatlov Pass area. Given the increasing influx of tourists, this could lead to tragic events. This natural disaster goes undetected by the Russian meteorological services do not report or predict due to its lack of research and localized nature.

I hope to have an answer this week from the All-Russian Research Institute of Hydrometeorological Information – World Data Center (http://meteo.ru/). Will keep you posted.

Was there a bora or foehn phenomenon at the Dyatlov Pass on the night of the incident? (https://dyatlovpass.com/donations-for-meteodata)

It's a possibility. The weather could have played a part in this mystery. But if it did, then how much of a part did it play? The group apparently managed to walk to the forest, which was nearly a mile away. So if it was a factor, was it an important factor or just an addition to the mystery, but not the reason for the mystery?

I am not blaming the atmospheric conditions for the death of the Dyatlov group. I am trying to prove that there was a super storm that tipped over the tree on top of their tent. Usually trees do not fall in winter in the taiga.
