I came across an interesting article in the St. Petersburg Times this week. Apparently 49 years ago 9 young skiers died in the Ural mountains under unusual circumstances. When they failed to show up on time searchers discovered their camp had been vacated quickly. Apparently they had cut open the tent and ran down slope from the camp wearing only their nightclothes and without any footware on! Five the bodies were located immediately and had succumbed to exposure from the very cold temperatures. Here’s an excerpt from the original article about the remaining skiers :
“It took two months to locate the remaining skiers. Their bodies were found buried under four meters of snow in a forest ravine, 75 meters away from the pine tree. The four — Nicolas Thibeaux-Brignollel, 24, Ludmila Dubinina, 21, Alexander Zolotaryov, 37, and Alexander Kolevatov, 25 — appeared to have suffered traumatic deaths. Thibeaux-Brignollel’s skull had been crushed, and Dubunina and Zolotarev had numerous broken ribs. Dubinina also had no tongue. ”
