1959?

Drugs.

They're all in one tent?

Everyone freaked out at a percieved rumble of an avalanch ... took off running and the cold slapped them into some semblance of sanity ... but they had ran too far to get back in time to warm their bodies ... 4 went over a cliff.

Drugs ... perhaps even acid.

A view of the tent as the rescuers found it on Feb. 26, 1959. The tent had been cut open from inside, and most of the skiers had fled in socks or barefoot.

Interesting stuff. The avalanche theory doesn't sound right to me, and it doesn't explain the woman's missing tongue.

Only one thing explains this: “Arkancide.”
