7 Went on a Trip & Only 1 Returned | Korovina Group Tragedy

1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,870
Tatiana: Two Ukrainian tourist or kayaking
along a river and the Hamar Dibond

2
00:00:03,870 --> 00:00:05,700
mountain range and Southern Siberia.

3
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:07,670
While they're paddling along.

4
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:10,370
They look over into the
surrounding wilderness.

5
00:00:10,700 --> 00:00:14,450
And see a girl standing there
screaming and waving her arms.

6
00:00:14,950 --> 00:00:19,180
It was so desperate looking that they
immediately realized something was wrong.

7
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:23,370
So they go to the shore and the
girl rushes to the woman and just

8
00:00:23,370 --> 00:00:25,530
sobs on her chest for a long time.

9
00:00:26,030 --> 00:00:27,740
And then the crying girl says.

10
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:30,490
People had died and she was scared.

11
00:00:30,990 --> 00:00:34,320
So the tourist immediately took
the girl to the rescue service.

12
00:00:34,820 --> 00:00:36,980
It's August 9th, 1993.

13
00:00:37,190 --> 00:00:41,870
And what the girl told the kayakers
sounded strangely similar to the Loft

14
00:00:41,900 --> 00:00:44,480
past incident that happened in 1959.

15
00:00:44,980 --> 00:00:49,690
When she finally does tell her story, it
would be one of two times she ever spoke

16
00:00:49,690 --> 00:00:51,790
about the bloody and violent incident.

17
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:54,680
That has sparked conspiracy
theories for decades.

18
00:00:54,930 --> 00:00:58,349
And when she gave a very
brief interview in 2018.

19
00:00:58,709 --> 00:01:01,019
It's still left many
questions and answered.

20
00:01:01,519 --> 00:01:04,789
This is the story of the
Corvina group disaster.

21
00:01:05,289 --> 00:01:06,190
I'm Tatiana.

22
00:01:06,690 --> 00:01:08,250
And this is occurrence.

23
00:01:16,532 --> 00:01:19,411
Seven hikers from Kazakhstan,
we're planning a hiking trip

24
00:01:19,442 --> 00:01:21,271
that spanned almost 50 miles.

25
00:01:21,692 --> 00:01:25,561
The group had adults and young
teenagers in it and was planning a

26
00:01:25,561 --> 00:01:27,661
route of category four difficulty.

27
00:01:28,161 --> 00:01:32,211
The highest difficulty at the
time was category five or six.

28
00:01:32,711 --> 00:01:35,591
It was the summer and the weather
was forecasted to be tame.

29
00:01:36,091 --> 00:01:39,001
But as we'll come to find out
that wasn't the case at all.

30
00:01:39,501 --> 00:01:41,241
This hype was led by lewd Milla.

31
00:01:41,331 --> 00:01:46,221
Corvina a 41 year old woman who was
an experienced leader and considered

32
00:01:46,221 --> 00:01:47,931
a master of sports and tourism.

33
00:01:48,431 --> 00:01:51,402
She was a leader in a tourist club
and that's where the rest of the

34
00:01:51,402 --> 00:01:52,722
hikers and the group came from.

35
00:01:53,222 --> 00:01:57,482
For six months, she had the young hikers
preparing in advance for the hike.

36
00:01:58,032 --> 00:01:59,952
they wrote out their meals for each day.

37
00:02:00,452 --> 00:02:05,042
Ludmilla plan a clear route down
to the hour and she determined who

38
00:02:05,042 --> 00:02:08,812
would carry what everyone had been
on multiple hikes with her already.

39
00:02:08,812 --> 00:02:11,122
So she was familiar
with their capabilities.

40
00:02:11,622 --> 00:02:13,332
Tatiana Filipino was there.

41
00:02:13,631 --> 00:02:16,361
She was 24 years old
and loved the mountains.

42
00:02:16,861 --> 00:02:20,971
Alexander Christen was 23 years old
and met lewd Milla as a teenager.

43
00:02:21,471 --> 00:02:21,862
Dennis

44
00:02:22,865 --> 00:02:25,895
was 19 years old and gone
to the group by accident.

45
00:02:26,395 --> 00:02:28,915
He was a member of the
tourist club and new Corvina.

46
00:02:28,915 --> 00:02:32,305
Well, but he replaced a guy whose
parents wouldn't let him go.

47
00:02:32,805 --> 00:02:35,595
Dennis, his parents were actually
at a resort when this happened.

48
00:02:35,595 --> 00:02:40,005
So he left them a note saying,
quote, I went to the mountains.

49
00:02:40,155 --> 00:02:41,115
I'll be back soon.

50
00:02:41,615 --> 00:02:42,125
End quote.

51
00:02:42,625 --> 00:02:43,495
Valentina Udo.

52
00:02:43,495 --> 00:02:48,085
Chico was 17 years old and she grew up
in a village and was always on the farm.

53
00:02:48,585 --> 00:02:53,145
Now Victoria is Ella Sova was
16 years old and the one person

54
00:02:53,145 --> 00:02:54,735
who'd Milla didn't want to take.

55
00:02:55,235 --> 00:02:59,225
Victoria would lose her temper when
she was tired and became unstable.

56
00:02:59,725 --> 00:03:03,715
But her mother told lewd Mila, she
would behave and not let anyone down.

57
00:03:03,985 --> 00:03:05,425
So she was allowed to join.

58
00:03:05,925 --> 00:03:08,295
The youngest in the group
was Timur backing off.

59
00:03:08,295 --> 00:03:10,875
And he was 15 years old and
grew up in the mountains.

60
00:03:11,055 --> 00:03:13,605
His parents were fond of sports, tourism.

61
00:03:13,655 --> 00:03:15,035
and raised him to love it too.

62
00:03:15,535 --> 00:03:17,305
While lewd Miller's group was hiking.

63
00:03:17,335 --> 00:03:20,005
There would be three more
groups passing nearby.

64
00:03:20,505 --> 00:03:24,454
One of them was led by 16
year old daughter, Natalia.

65
00:03:24,954 --> 00:03:27,925
They plan to meet at the end
of the route on lake pat off.

66
00:03:28,425 --> 00:03:31,665
Lewd Mila had said that her group
was backup for an Italian group.

67
00:03:31,695 --> 00:03:32,925
If anything went wrong.

68
00:03:33,425 --> 00:03:37,954
So on August 2nd, 1993, the
group set off for their journey.

69
00:03:38,165 --> 00:03:39,454
And at first things were good.

70
00:03:39,704 --> 00:03:42,855
The weather was decent and the
group was ahead of schedule to hit

71
00:03:42,855 --> 00:03:46,515
the meeting spot with Natalia's
group, but they would never make it.

72
00:03:47,015 --> 00:03:49,835
Two days later, they reached
a treeless Alpine area.

73
00:03:50,225 --> 00:03:53,945
They prepared food on premise
stoves and by 4:00 PM they

74
00:03:53,945 --> 00:03:55,385
had made some more progress.

75
00:03:55,635 --> 00:03:57,405
But the weather was horrible now.

76
00:03:57,655 --> 00:04:01,165
It was cold and they were being
hit with heavy rain and some snow,

77
00:04:01,375 --> 00:04:04,315
which soaked through their supplies
and slowed them down because of

78
00:04:04,315 --> 00:04:05,815
how heavy it made everything.

79
00:04:06,315 --> 00:04:11,325
But instead of moving down into the nearby
forest or continuing up another 30 minutes

80
00:04:11,325 --> 00:04:16,185
to an established shelter, who'd Mila
had them set up camp on an exposed slope.

81
00:04:16,685 --> 00:04:19,505
They set up two tents and went
down for the night, but at

82
00:04:19,505 --> 00:04:21,425
4:00 AM, the tent ropes broke.

83
00:04:21,925 --> 00:04:26,365
They were fixed, but by 6:00 AM, the
sleeping bags were wet and Valentina

84
00:04:26,395 --> 00:04:28,375
had been physically ill and vomited.

85
00:04:28,875 --> 00:04:30,645
By 10:00 AM on August 5th.

86
00:04:31,145 --> 00:04:33,905
Alexander went and said
they were wet and freezing.

87
00:04:34,235 --> 00:04:37,115
And I assume that this, him coming
to the tent with lewd, Mila and

88
00:04:37,115 --> 00:04:38,855
Valentina in it and saying that.

89
00:04:39,355 --> 00:04:41,215
They were supposed to
meet Natalia that day.

90
00:04:41,715 --> 00:04:45,525
But later that evening, when Natalia's
group made it to the meeting spot.

91
00:04:45,775 --> 00:04:49,225
Lewd Miller's group would not
show and Natalia's group moved on.

92
00:04:49,255 --> 00:04:52,675
Just assuming her mother's group was
delayed from the weather, but fine.

93
00:04:52,925 --> 00:04:54,905
The reality was far different.

94
00:04:55,405 --> 00:04:58,855
After they ate breakfast, lewd Mila
had everyone gathered their backpacks

95
00:04:58,855 --> 00:05:00,475
and started climbing down the hill.

96
00:05:00,975 --> 00:05:05,295
They made it about 30 feet and then
Alexander just started screaming.

97
00:05:05,795 --> 00:05:07,295
He was in the back of the group.

98
00:05:07,355 --> 00:05:11,315
So everyone turned to look at what
was happening and they saw that

99
00:05:11,315 --> 00:05:15,035
he's bleeding from his eyes and
ears and frothing at the mouth.

100
00:05:15,535 --> 00:05:18,325
Then he falls to the ground
and starts convulsing.

101
00:05:18,825 --> 00:05:20,325
And then he stops.

102
00:05:20,325 --> 00:05:24,555
Ludmilla orders everyone else to get down
the slope while she runs to Alexander.

103
00:05:24,805 --> 00:05:27,265
She's distraught and trying
to get him to wake up.

104
00:05:27,265 --> 00:05:29,365
But then the group here
is lewd Miller cry out.

105
00:05:29,425 --> 00:05:32,215
So they stop running and
turn to go back to her.

106
00:05:32,465 --> 00:05:35,195
As they're running back to see
why she was making that sound.

107
00:05:35,435 --> 00:05:38,855
They see, she has the exact
same symptoms as Alexander.

108
00:05:39,105 --> 00:05:40,575
Ludmilla eyes and nose.

109
00:05:40,605 --> 00:05:41,715
We're pouring blood.

110
00:05:41,715 --> 00:05:43,455
And she was frothing at the mouth.

111
00:05:43,705 --> 00:05:47,575
Then she started convulsing and
collapsed on top of Alexander.

112
00:05:47,825 --> 00:05:50,855
At that point, Tatiana was
the first truthfully Myla.

113
00:05:50,855 --> 00:05:53,284
And she collapsed grabbing at her throat.

114
00:05:53,284 --> 00:05:54,305
Like she couldn't breathe.

115
00:05:54,805 --> 00:05:56,965
Then she started crawling towards a rock.

116
00:05:57,145 --> 00:05:58,255
And when she reached it,

117
00:05:58,755 --> 00:06:02,295
Tatiana started bashing your head
against it until she went limp.

118
00:06:02,795 --> 00:06:07,909
Now Victoria and Timur started running
around and Dennis had behind a rock.

119
00:06:07,909 --> 00:06:09,566
Valentina is just stuck.

120
00:06:09,806 --> 00:06:10,916
She's frozen in place.

121
00:06:10,916 --> 00:06:12,956
And just watching everyone die around her.

122
00:06:13,206 --> 00:06:14,976
It only felt like a few minutes.

123
00:06:15,226 --> 00:06:18,466
Victoria and Tamara collapsed
while running and started grabbing

124
00:06:18,646 --> 00:06:21,886
their throats and tearing off their
clothes while throwing up blood.

125
00:06:22,386 --> 00:06:25,986
Dennis runs to Victoria and kicks her
and tells her to run down the slope.

126
00:06:26,016 --> 00:06:26,736
So they do.

127
00:06:26,986 --> 00:06:30,496
But as they were running, Dennis
collapsed and started convulsing.

128
00:06:30,746 --> 00:06:34,106
Valentina, obviously scared
for her life kept running until

129
00:06:34,106 --> 00:06:37,226
she was away from what she just
witnessed and surrounded by trees.

130
00:06:37,476 --> 00:06:39,426
She only had a tent for supplies.

131
00:06:39,456 --> 00:06:42,066
So she set up her tent for
the night and fell asleep.

132
00:06:42,316 --> 00:06:44,986
The next morning, realizing
she was still alive.

133
00:06:45,286 --> 00:06:45,646
Felon.

134
00:06:45,646 --> 00:06:47,446
Tina knew she needed to find people.

135
00:06:47,756 --> 00:06:49,406
She knew a river was nearby.

136
00:06:49,796 --> 00:06:52,136
And if she followed the
river, she would be saved.

137
00:06:52,386 --> 00:06:55,746
So she returned to where she
left the others still in moving.

138
00:06:55,996 --> 00:06:59,836
She took a map in food from their
belongings and closed their open eyes.

139
00:07:00,336 --> 00:07:02,796
According to a rescuer who
discovered the group later.

140
00:07:03,006 --> 00:07:03,336
Felon.

141
00:07:03,366 --> 00:07:05,346
Tina also covered them with a tent.

142
00:07:05,596 --> 00:07:08,266
Which may have contributed to
the state they were found in,

143
00:07:08,296 --> 00:07:09,946
but I'll get back to that later.

144
00:07:10,446 --> 00:07:14,016
Valentina made it to the river by
following power lines, but was unable

145
00:07:14,016 --> 00:07:17,706
to walk on the Rocky shores or walk in
the water due to the strong current.

146
00:07:18,206 --> 00:07:21,686
She had a fever and strong cough
and could tell she was falling ill.

147
00:07:21,716 --> 00:07:23,936
So she began to prepare to die.

148
00:07:24,186 --> 00:07:26,376
But she didn't want to die dirty and ugly.

149
00:07:26,436 --> 00:07:30,366
So she washed herself and all her
dirty items off in the icy river.

150
00:07:30,866 --> 00:07:35,306
Then she changed into her clean clothes
and hung the wet items on branches to dry.

151
00:07:35,806 --> 00:07:39,566
And it was at this point, she
spotted the kayakers and was saved.

152
00:07:40,066 --> 00:07:43,576
Valentina Udo Chenko was the
only survivor of this disaster.

153
00:07:44,056 --> 00:07:47,696
And the story of her group's deaths
sparked All kinds of theories.

154
00:07:47,946 --> 00:07:50,646
It would take two weeks for the
rescuers to locate the group's

155
00:07:50,676 --> 00:07:54,846
remains because allegedly the weather
was too bad to use a helicopter.

156
00:07:54,936 --> 00:07:57,996
So rescuers had to go on foot
when the weather was better

157
00:07:58,266 --> 00:07:59,676
to go and find the group.

158
00:07:59,926 --> 00:08:04,156
And when they were found, it was so
horrific that to this day, the rescuers

159
00:08:04,156 --> 00:08:05,986
voice is tremble when they talk about it.

160
00:08:06,236 --> 00:08:10,436
Now due to the descriptions of their
deaths, there's obviously something amiss.

161
00:08:10,936 --> 00:08:15,936
Conspiracy similar to the pass, came
out, including nerve gas, military

162
00:08:15,936 --> 00:08:18,366
weapons, aliens, and so much more.

163
00:08:18,616 --> 00:08:19,426
But I'll tell you why.

164
00:08:19,426 --> 00:08:21,856
I don't quiet by it being
a conspiracy at all later.

165
00:08:22,106 --> 00:08:23,126
URI Golias.

166
00:08:23,126 --> 00:08:25,196
was honored for his work and the rescue.

167
00:08:25,196 --> 00:08:26,876
And he said it was a terrible scene.

168
00:08:27,376 --> 00:08:29,956
everyone was found lying on a small ledge.

169
00:08:30,226 --> 00:08:33,316
Some very close together
and others further away.

170
00:08:33,816 --> 00:08:37,836
They had very little clothing on,
some were just wearing thin leotards

171
00:08:37,836 --> 00:08:39,456
and some were without shoes.

172
00:08:39,706 --> 00:08:44,176
There were no eyes, just worms
and MTI sockets and open mounts.

173
00:08:44,426 --> 00:08:47,336
Due to them being covered with
the tent, the decomposition

174
00:08:47,366 --> 00:08:49,376
and the smell of that process.

175
00:08:49,826 --> 00:08:51,206
Even in the body bags.

176
00:08:51,206 --> 00:08:53,576
I made the helicopter ride back, quote.

177
00:08:53,906 --> 00:08:54,506
Impossible.

178
00:08:54,756 --> 00:08:58,716
The autopsy would reveal the cause of
death for everyone to be hypothermia.

179
00:08:58,966 --> 00:09:01,846
Except for lead Milla
who had a heart attack.

180
00:09:02,096 --> 00:09:06,386
Everyone had signs of Bruce lungs and
protein deficiency from malnutrition

181
00:09:06,596 --> 00:09:08,726
and the deaths were ruled accidental.

182
00:09:08,976 --> 00:09:13,536
Now clearly the official report and
Valentina story don't seem to match.

183
00:09:13,786 --> 00:09:18,136
Like I said before, Russian military
experiments and conspiracies were

184
00:09:18,136 --> 00:09:21,736
a big one for this tragedy, but
the Hamar, Dubai and mountains

185
00:09:21,796 --> 00:09:23,926
are a very public hiking location.

186
00:09:24,176 --> 00:09:25,706
At least where these hikers were at.

187
00:09:25,706 --> 00:09:29,846
With many people traveling throughout
any time, especially in the summer.

188
00:09:30,346 --> 00:09:32,716
And don't forget they
were in an open area.

189
00:09:32,926 --> 00:09:36,856
They weren't surrounded by trees in some
remote area that would make more sense

190
00:09:36,856 --> 00:09:38,776
for a top secret military experiment.

191
00:09:39,276 --> 00:09:40,146
It's Siberia.

192
00:09:40,206 --> 00:09:44,256
There are so many other locations for
something like that to be taking place.

193
00:09:44,756 --> 00:09:46,826
Now the nerve agent is kind of plausible.

194
00:09:46,856 --> 00:09:49,165
if this group just had very bad luck.

195
00:09:49,415 --> 00:09:52,836
And this theory is from
YouTuber cadaver and Natasha M's

196
00:09:52,866 --> 00:09:54,576
medium article on this event.

197
00:09:55,076 --> 00:09:58,196
It may have been possible for
a specific gas to be the cause.

198
00:09:58,446 --> 00:10:02,736
Apparently this class of nerve agents
was created and used by Soviet Russia

199
00:10:02,766 --> 00:10:07,686
until 1993 and is believed to be
the deadliest nerve agent to exist.

200
00:10:08,186 --> 00:10:11,486
The nerve agents were reportedly
tested in areas near the Hamar.

201
00:10:11,666 --> 00:10:16,286
The bond region and the rapid death that
caused mimics what happened to the hikers?

202
00:10:16,536 --> 00:10:19,926
it's water soluble and can
take four months to evaporate.

203
00:10:20,286 --> 00:10:22,956
And the particles often
float close to the ground.

204
00:10:23,206 --> 00:10:24,856
According to Natasha's article.

205
00:10:25,306 --> 00:10:28,936
If the agent had been tested high up
in the mountains a few months prior.

206
00:10:29,386 --> 00:10:32,536
Then the constant rain would have
washed the tested product down

207
00:10:32,566 --> 00:10:34,096
the mountain and to their hill.

208
00:10:34,346 --> 00:10:36,956
And the morning, most of the
water evaporated with the sun.

209
00:10:37,346 --> 00:10:41,096
But somehow Alexander stepped
into a contaminated spot and

210
00:10:41,126 --> 00:10:45,266
everyone going to that area minus
Valentina, since she kept away.

211
00:10:45,686 --> 00:10:46,586
Eventually died.

212
00:10:47,086 --> 00:10:50,506
My problem with that theory is
that they were wet that night.

213
00:10:51,006 --> 00:10:51,876
That very morning.

214
00:10:51,876 --> 00:10:55,146
Alexander said how cold and
what everyone was in Belen.

215
00:10:55,146 --> 00:10:57,366
Tina reported everyone's
sleeping bags were wet.

216
00:10:57,616 --> 00:11:01,516
So if there was an ERV agent
coming through the rain or running

217
00:11:01,516 --> 00:11:04,426
down the hill, it would have
gotten to everyone overnight.

218
00:11:04,726 --> 00:11:08,116
And contaminated drinking water would
have had other groups in the mountain

219
00:11:08,116 --> 00:11:10,186
experience, a similar situation.

220
00:11:10,686 --> 00:11:14,436
Mushroom poisoning is plausible
and people who are hallucinating

221
00:11:14,436 --> 00:11:16,536
do often see others crying blood.

222
00:11:16,786 --> 00:11:21,016
It would explain the inconsistency
with Valentina story and the autopsy.

223
00:11:21,516 --> 00:11:23,256
But here's what I think happened.

224
00:11:23,676 --> 00:11:26,226
It's largely from URI,
the rescuers belief.

225
00:11:26,726 --> 00:11:30,256
URI is positive that the hikers
were killed by their leader.

226
00:11:30,316 --> 00:11:31,516
Lewd Milla Corvina.

227
00:11:32,016 --> 00:11:33,036
Before you freak out.

228
00:11:33,216 --> 00:11:34,026
Let me explain.

229
00:11:34,526 --> 00:11:37,946
You see, you're renewed Milla
way before this tragedy.

230
00:11:38,306 --> 00:11:41,336
She was athletic
strong-willed and beautiful.

231
00:11:41,756 --> 00:11:43,856
And they once cross paths on a mountain.

232
00:11:44,106 --> 00:11:49,086
She was with two 16 ish year old boys
and they looked absolutely exhausted.

233
00:11:49,586 --> 00:11:51,415
One of the boys was so weak.

234
00:11:51,566 --> 00:11:54,086
He couldn't even lift
an ax to chop firewood.

235
00:11:54,336 --> 00:11:56,376
So you're he gave them tea and bread.

236
00:11:56,626 --> 00:11:58,036
Allegedly, they inhaled it.

237
00:11:58,036 --> 00:12:00,256
Like they've never eaten
anything in their life.

238
00:12:00,506 --> 00:12:05,156
In response to that, Ludmilla said that
she practices the school of survival.

239
00:12:05,406 --> 00:12:09,036
This is when a group goes on a hike
with minimal food and clothing.

240
00:12:09,536 --> 00:12:13,556
It's apparently how she raises them
to be ready for unforeseen situations.

241
00:12:13,556 --> 00:12:15,656
And this was a regular
thing for her hikes.

242
00:12:15,656 --> 00:12:17,366
Allegedly the students would come back.

243
00:12:17,396 --> 00:12:20,456
Absolutely exhausted
nearly every single time.

244
00:12:20,456 --> 00:12:23,636
To the point where some parents didn't
want their kids hiking with lewd Myla.

245
00:12:23,886 --> 00:12:26,916
She believed in no extra
or excessive clothing.

246
00:12:27,166 --> 00:12:29,926
No extra food and packing very lightly.

247
00:12:30,176 --> 00:12:33,176
So I believe since she thought
the weather would be okay.

248
00:12:33,446 --> 00:12:36,536
The hikers weren't in loud clothing
that would've kept them warm and

249
00:12:36,536 --> 00:12:37,946
the weather that they experienced.

250
00:12:38,366 --> 00:12:41,496
Even though at night it said
a jacket still needed on that

251
00:12:41,496 --> 00:12:42,876
mountain, even in the summer.

252
00:12:43,126 --> 00:12:46,096
I believe with the cold weather
and with the minimal clothing,

253
00:12:46,186 --> 00:12:48,856
the hikers were suffering from
the beginnings of hyperthermia.

254
00:12:49,106 --> 00:12:52,106
And I think they were also
suffering from mountain sickness.

255
00:12:52,356 --> 00:12:56,136
Mountain sickness is when after reaching
2000 meters on a mountain, you start

256
00:12:56,136 --> 00:12:57,996
to suffer from oxygen, starvation.

257
00:12:57,996 --> 00:13:01,806
And since everyone died at 2,300 meters.

258
00:13:02,056 --> 00:13:03,406
I'd say that was possible.

259
00:13:03,656 --> 00:13:07,166
Weakness, headache and nausea
accompany that sickness and

260
00:13:07,166 --> 00:13:08,696
Valentina threw up that morning.

261
00:13:08,896 --> 00:13:12,046
her weakness and detachment
are very present in her story.

262
00:13:12,346 --> 00:13:16,666
in her more recent interview, Valentina
swears, they ate four times a day.

263
00:13:17,166 --> 00:13:21,126
However in her first interview, closer
to after when this event happened.

264
00:13:21,376 --> 00:13:25,246
She said they add out of those little
stoves, which do not hold a lot of food.

265
00:13:25,746 --> 00:13:29,496
And when Yuri was searching for the
hikers, he saw that there was evidence of

266
00:13:29,496 --> 00:13:33,486
only one can of soup being shared between
seven hikers for breakfast that morning.

267
00:13:33,736 --> 00:13:35,986
So I believe that they were malnourished.

268
00:13:36,226 --> 00:13:38,986
They were suffering from
hypothermia and mountain sickness.

269
00:13:39,236 --> 00:13:42,776
Alexander collapsed first, being the
largest and strongest and needing the

270
00:13:42,776 --> 00:13:44,636
most calories in those conditions.

271
00:13:44,886 --> 00:13:46,956
Him being the first to
die caused lewd Mila.

272
00:13:47,046 --> 00:13:50,706
I have a heart attack because she
was so close to Alexander and it

273
00:13:50,706 --> 00:13:52,616
said that she saw him As her own son.

274
00:13:53,165 --> 00:13:57,006
This causes a spike in the stress levels
and blood pressure of the rest of the

275
00:13:57,006 --> 00:13:59,646
group causing their symptoms to expedite.

276
00:13:59,956 --> 00:14:02,206
And lead to having a pulmonary edema.

277
00:14:02,706 --> 00:14:06,726
I'm not sure if I believe everyone died
back to back or if it was more spread out.

278
00:14:07,056 --> 00:14:10,296
And Valentina later said she wasn't
sure how long it lasted either.

279
00:14:10,546 --> 00:14:14,446
But I do think Valentina survived
because she said she had been chewing

280
00:14:14,476 --> 00:14:18,436
on a lot of golden roots, which
are rich in nutrients and vitamins.

281
00:14:18,686 --> 00:14:21,536
Everyone had a spiny of it in
their bags, but it's unknown.

282
00:14:21,536 --> 00:14:23,486
If the others were
snacking, like Valentina.

283
00:14:23,736 --> 00:14:26,916
I would guess not since I'm
assuming it wasn't allowed.

284
00:14:26,916 --> 00:14:31,196
Because apparently while on the mountain,
lewd Mila made a long stop with the group

285
00:14:31,406 --> 00:14:33,566
and had everyone collect golden roots.

286
00:14:33,816 --> 00:14:37,956
Ludmilla had two large bags of the
roots in her backpack and its belief.

287
00:14:37,956 --> 00:14:39,486
She collected it to sell later.

288
00:14:39,486 --> 00:14:41,106
Even though you aren't
supposed to do this.

289
00:14:41,606 --> 00:14:44,576
If I'm being honest, I think
Valentina didn't want to talk about

290
00:14:44,576 --> 00:14:47,696
what happened for a long time,
because she didn't know what to say.

291
00:14:47,946 --> 00:14:51,366
It's my opinion that she didn't
want to disparage lewd Milla.

292
00:14:51,665 --> 00:14:53,976
And if she told the truth of
what happened, it would've

293
00:14:53,976 --> 00:14:57,156
been twisted into even worse
stories than there already were.

294
00:14:57,156 --> 00:14:58,206
Following the tragedy.

295
00:14:58,456 --> 00:15:02,186
I can't say I blame her for being young
at the time and wanting to not further

296
00:15:02,186 --> 00:15:04,016
upset the parents of the other hikers.

297
00:15:04,266 --> 00:15:08,606
Who to this day still trusted, mellow
and don't believe she did anything wrong.

298
00:15:09,106 --> 00:15:13,006
I do want to be clear and say, I don't
think lewd Milla had an intention of

299
00:15:13,066 --> 00:15:15,196
anything even close to this happening.

300
00:15:15,696 --> 00:15:19,146
Her greatest mistake in my book
was trusting the weather service.

301
00:15:19,396 --> 00:15:23,606
And instead of preparing for a hike with
the worst case scenario in mind, as far

302
00:15:23,606 --> 00:15:28,166
as preparation and supplies, she went with
the mindset that nothing would go wrong.

303
00:15:28,256 --> 00:15:31,736
And if it did, they could figure it
out using simple survival skills.

304
00:15:31,986 --> 00:15:35,646
To me, this is a cautionary tale
about a disaster that didn't have

305
00:15:35,646 --> 00:15:37,626
to happen, but unfortunately did.

306
00:15:38,126 --> 00:15:39,746
Everyone is a victim in this story.

307
00:15:39,866 --> 00:15:41,996
