Dyatlov

Hegarty linked to a Mark Morford article about a really creepy story of Russian Hikers in the 50's who experienced severe trauma in the middle of nowhere. Holy cow. 

"Why did they rush out, unable to even grab a coat or blanket? What came at them? The three-month investigation revealed that five of the trekkers died from simple hypothermia, with no apparent trauma at all, no signs of attack, struggle, no outward injuries of any kind. However, two of the other four apparently suffered massive internal traumas to the chest, like you would if you were hit by a car. One's skull was crushed. All four of these were found far from the other five. But still, no signs of external injuries."
