What would histology tell us?

[GlennM]

I read that the lack of histological tests is possible justification to re open the case. What are those tests going to yield? To me, the priority would be first and foremost, locating the original samples. Once any samples were obtained, I can only think that poisoning would be the one and only thing to be ruled out. Does anybody seriously believe the group was accidentally or intentionally poisoned? I think not.! Further I do not think hallucinogens as a poison were involved . The hikers left the tent in far too straight a line.

Later, the rescue team drank the alcohol. Canned goods were appropriated. Nobody died.Nobody flipped out.

What I think is going on is the missing histological reports is the proverbial thin entering wedge to open and widen this case. To what end? To better assess the 1959 case records and revise them. Next, to discredit the loose and sensationalistic commentary by persons directly and indirectly associated with the case. Exhuming 60+ year old remains is not going to reveal much.

What I would like to see is whether there is a link between the geological activities at the time and the DPI. I would like to see the weather report that Teddy could not get without paying a ransom for. I would like confirmation that there was no military activity nor cover up associated with the DPI.  I want confirmation of any meteorite or bolide which would link to a slab slide.
I would like wind tunnel tests and computer modelling.

Personally, I think it is all down to weather...except the DP9 acted differently in many regards than I would given the circumstances.

Only the weather as the cause of DP9's death does not fit with this statement by Ivanov:

„The true causes of the deaths were hidden from the people, and only a few knew these reasons: the former first secretary of the regional committee A.P. Kirilenko, the second secretary of the regional committee A.F. Eshtokin, the regional prosecutor N. I. Klimov and the author of these lines, who were investigating the case“

And the rocket theory does not correspond to these words of Ivanov:

„Someone needed to frighten or punish people, or show their strength, and they did this, killing three people“.

Conclusion:
So there was something to hide, but it wasn't rockets.

Killing 9 Soviet athletes questing for Master of Sport who in their turn exemplify Russian ideals to their friends an d community youth at a time when the national government is putting its best foot forward is wrong headed thinking and policy.

Those who later advocate for that explanation gamble with their own lives.

Or

It is sensationalized smoke and mirrors.
