Immediately after Gagarin's accident, * * * set up a special investigation committee with the participation of about 200 experts and submitted dozens of reports. However, these materials have been shelved for many years. A hero in a spaceship died in an ordinary flight training, which is really unacceptable to many people, especially Gagarin's admirers. For a time, there were endless speculations about the cause of death of this space hero, and rumors spread everywhere. Today, let's take a look at n versions of Gagarin's death in history:
The most complicated version
Coincidentally, the scouts in charge of meteorological reconnaissance did not go to the airspace where Gagarin was about to conduct flight training, resulting in the two pilots not accurately grasping the data about the height of clouds; Coincidentally, after Gagarin and Serekin's MIG-15 took off, another plane numbered 6 14 also took off. Coincidentally, this plane didn't see Gagarin's plane, and flew unscrupulously in front of it, forming a vortex area at its tail and being involved in Gagarin's plane; Coincidentally, Gagarin's plane was between two thick clouds. Because he can't see the horizon, he can't correctly judge his position and situation. The two pilots thought that the remaining altitude was enough to change direction, so they calmly drove the plane out of the whirlpool. However, after flying out of the clouds, they found that the height was much smaller than they expected, and it was too late to eject ... It is said that "they lacked about two seconds".
Comments: Gagarin is really unlucky when so many coincidences collide.
Bird impact theory
Gagarin's plane crashed after colliding with a bird.
Comments: The bird hitting the plane is not news. Two days ago, a "giant crane" collided with a Delta Air Lines plane. But since Gagarin's plane has no corresponding trace, the "bird theory" is naturally untenable.
Man-made accident theory
Kuznetsov, a retired Soviet aircraft engineer, speculated that a pilot forgot to turn off the ventilation window board in the cockpit during the pre-flight preparation, which led to a decrease in cabin pressure, and the two later lost consciousness.
Comments: This possibility is not ruled out in theory. After all, many accidents are caused by human illegal operations.
Instructor's disease theory
There is something wrong with Seryokin's heart. He may have had a heart attack on the plane and suddenly lost consciousness. Gagarin was caught off guard and could not control the plane.
Comments: We all know that heart patients can't be pilots.
Drunk driving theory
Gagarin and Selyogin drank vodka before the flight.
Comments: Russian personnel of the Polish Presidential Investigation Committee on the Crash once pointed out that alcohol was detected in the body of non-crew members in the cockpit, which may be that the official ordered the captain to land forcibly. The theory of drunkenness really highlights the character of eastern Europeans.
Gagarin in a spacesuit
The oldest version
Gagarin was envied by Brezhnev, and the plane crash was designed by KGB.
Comments: In the eyes of some people, as long as celebrities in the former Soviet Union died abnormally, they were all thanks to the KGB, whether they were rock stars or space heroes. The KGB is like the "East Factory" of the Soviet Union.
An upgraded version of KGB's murder theory
Gagarin did not die, but was arrested by Russian agents. After plastic surgery, he was thrown into a mental hospital in a remote area and died.
Comments: Why not say it is a good thing for the * * * Economic Association?
Alien hijacking theory
Vanga Dimitrova, a legendary blind Bulgarian prophet, said in 1979 that Gagarin did not die, but was kidnapped by aliens. Moreover, it seems that there are many witnesses who can provide strong evidence for this statement.
Comments: Dimitrova is famous for her accurate prediction. However, prophecy and aliens are, after all, areas that cannot be verified by contemporary human science and technology.
The most imaginative version
Gagarin faked his death, then spent the rest of his life in a village in orenburg, and died in a hunting accident in his later years.
Comments: It is really appropriate to release this kind of news on April Fool's Day.
Space race theory
Gagarin actually died a few days before the plane crash, in a secret space launch by Russia to implement the moon landing program.
Comments: It's a pity that the creator of this version didn't go to Hollywood as a screenwriter.
