The witness testified: In the second half of January 1959 I saw two groups of hikers in the village of Vizhay.
Which were going to the area of the Ural mountain range, I didn't talk to them in person.
At the beginning of February 1959 there were strong winds in the village of Vizhay.
The wind drifted the snow mass and heaped up on the open road although there was virtually no rainfall. I live in the village in Vizhay since 1951 and don't remember such winds like they were in the beginning of February 1959
