Dyatlov coincidence

Regarding the Dyatlov Pass mystery [FT403:4]: I was struck by the coincidence that according to the Sky dramatisation of the 1986 Chernobyl disaster, the main culprit for

the accident was the deputy chief engineer, Anatoly Dyatlov. He died early from radiation-related illness. In the 1959 Dyatlov Pass incident, “very high levels of radiation were found on the bodies and clothes of four of the skiers, and witnesses at the funeral reported that their skin was a nut brown or orange, as if suntanned” [FT377:4]. The skiing group leader was Igor Dyatlov, 23.
