Veteran pilots, why did they suddenly die after losing their front hooves during regular training? Rumors are rife from all walks of life, which one is the closest to the truth? There is only one truth! Next, let's explore the truth about Gagarin's death! ---- primer
Hello everyone, I'm Bamboo. Today, let's explore the truth about the death of "space first man" Gagarin with Bamboo. Before the story begins, Bamboo gives everyone a popular science about this "first person in space". The protagonist of today's story, Comrade Gagarin, has a legendary life. Gagarin was born in 1934 in a small town in the former Soviet Union to poor peasant parents, and the family struggled to feed themselves. In order to solve the family's financial problems, Gagarin dropped out of school in junior high school and entered the factory to become a sand turner. Despite this, Gagarin did not give up on his dream, working in the factory during the day and entering adult night school at night to learn knowledge.

Kung Fu pays off, and Gagarin completed his studies with excellent results with super perseverance. He completed all the courses from vocational middle school to industrial technical school to aviation school in one go, and finally successfully entered the coveted aviation military school and became an excellent pilot with near-perfect results. In 1957, Gagarin met the love of his life and successfully entered the palace of marriage. Gagarin at this stage can be described as a double harvest of love, and in 1960 and 1961, Gagarin completed a major turning point in his life, from a pilot to a national hero.
In 1960, Gagarin joined the Communist Party and was selected for the Soviet Astronaut Corps to train for the Soviet Space Expedition Program. In 1961, Gagarin sailed into space alone in a spaceship of the Soviet Union's own design, perfectly completing the first human space voyage around the earth, and shortly after returning to the Soviet Union, Gagarin was awarded the title of "national hero". The Soviet government gave this hero a great deal of recognition, and he became a hero of the whole world. However, these years are destined to be extraordinary years for Gagarin.
Heroes are killed
Being able to stand out among the many pilots and become the first person to independently fly a flying machine into space, Takeko believes that he must have excellent professionalism and skills. According to Bamboo, Gagarin has flown almost all types of military aircraft in the former Soviet Union, and his results are very good, such an excellent pilot, but in a daily training, a major accident occurred! At the end of March 1968, Gagarin conducted regular training with another pilot. The two men took off from a training base in Moscow in a MiG-15 inflatable plane, which flew in the air for about 10 minutes, and even flew down like a fierce son, head down, and the ground personnel did not react.
I saw two seasoned pilots trying to make amends and use their best efforts to get the aircraft out of the dive state, but the altitude of the flight at that time was estimated to be less than 500 meters according to the post-mortem measurements, and even the experienced "first man in space" was difficult to achieve rescue. Eventually the plane crashed. Gagarin and the coach both died. Gagarin died at the age of 34. It was this time that ordinary training, which could no longer be ordinary, became the hero's last training. The hero stays in this moment forever! As soon as the news came out, the whole country of the Soviet Union was deeply saddened. At the same time, I can't help but wonder why Gagarin died so suddenly?
The cause of death is a mystery
As soon as the news of Gagarin's death came out, the Soviet government organized a special investigation team to investigate the whole thing, and the investigation team of hundreds of people has handed in dozens of questionnaires, but so far there is no conclusive conclusion on the cause of Gagarin's death. Takeshi had previously made a brief collation of various speculations about the cause of Gagarin's death, and found that it could be roughly summarized into the following statements.
The first: the natural assertion. Scholars who hold this theory have proposed that Gagarin encountered sudden changes in weather conditions while flying the plane, making it impossible for Gagarin to accurately estimate the flight conditions. Some people think that the weather conditions at that time were not very good, although the height of the cloud layer was nearly a kilometer according to the data analysis, but the actual height was only about 500 meters, and the difference between the two was nearly 500 meters, which caused misleading the pilot's judgment, during the flight, there was no measure to change the flight state, and it was thought that there was still time to adjust below, but when the problem was found, it was too late. Another group of people made this statement based on the situation at the training site at the time, saying that not only one of Gagarin's planes participated in the training that day, but also two or three planes.
But at that time the management of air traffic was very chaotic, Gagarin piloted the plane to avoid the collision of various aircraft, but did not dodge the air vortex stirred up after the various aircraft wiped himself, at this time Gagarin adjusted the flight angle with superb technology, intending to rush out of the whirlpool, and the angle of dive is getting bigger and bigger, has been from the position of four thousand meters from the land to a thousand meters, there are relevant experts concluded that if Gagarin adjusts the dive angle in this process, there may be a glimmer of hope of survival, But Gagarin did not make adjustments.
It may be because Gagarin's instrument misestimation of the thickness of the atmosphere caused the misjudgment of Gagarin and other two experienced pilots, and when it was found that it was a misjudgment, there was no chance of change at all, even the chance of escape and self-help was slim, and finally the plane directly rushed to the ground, and the plane was destroyed. Some scientists have suggested that if Gagarin could find the problem two seconds in advance, pull the plane up, or save himself, the tragedy could be avoided. Bamboo can't help but sigh, two seconds can also change the fate of the possible is Gagarin, this damn two seconds ah! But these are all conclusive speculations, who is the real murderer who caused the death of the national hero?
Another way of saying that nature is that birds hit, but what is going on? According to the relevant Soviet site survey, the remains of a suspected bird were found in Gagarin's crash pit, and it was inferred that the plane piloted by Gagarin was likely to collide with the bird, causing the aircraft to malfunction and causing a catastrophe. However, after many studies by ornithologists, it was concluded that this bird could not have been the cause of the crash, and even that the bird was killed by another creature, and he had nothing to do with gagarin's cause of death. Bamboo thought of a sentence at this time, this pot this bird seems to be unable to carry.
Another argument is said by more authoritative people, who? The second person to go into space, Gherman Titov, said that it was very likely that the emergency response to avoid the weather balloon led to the crash of the plane, and the former Soviet investigators also supported and affirmed this statement, saying: Yes, there were indeed more than a dozen weather balloons in this area at that time. But whether Gagarin had an accident to avoid the weather balloon, no one could give conclusive evidence.
The first theory, some people assert that Gagarin took part in a cocktail party before participating in training and then trained, he is drunk driving! And also broke the photo of him attending the cocktail party happy to drink, which can be said to be conclusive evidence, bamboo so drunk driving vehicles are very dangerous, not to mention that he is a plane! But at this time, the training records released by the former Soviet government confirmed that Gagarin did not drink alcohol on the day of training, and there was no case of drunk driving. At the same time, other pilots who participated in the training also came out to testify that Gagarin was training in normal conditions, and this kind of drunk driving rhetoric was self-defeating. Another argument is that the components of the MiG-15 aircraft piloted by Gagarin are aging, and this argument is not unreasonable.
This type of aircraft is indeed an older aircraft, the equipment equipped with it is not sound, and the reflected data is also very easy to cause wrong guidance to the pilot, just a few seconds before the crash, the data shows that it is still in normal condition, so the aircraft is old and temporarily appears to be in a situation that bamboo feels very likely. In addition, there are relevant engineers who deduce that this accident is also likely to be caused by man, how to say it? It is very likely that the engineer did not close the ventilation plate before preparing for the flight, resulting in a disturbance of air pressure in this cabin. In the end, the machine was destroyed, but soon the government produced relevant evidence that this statement was false. So what exactly will cause the destruction of the Gagarin machine? The truth is even more confusing!
The third argument is politics and conspiracy theory. Conspiracy theories say gagarin was murdered, but who is it? In the process of search and rescue, the former Soviet government found that the parachute of the plane was cut with a knife, which may have been the reason why Gagarin could not escape, but a small number of locals said that this was not the case at all, when the plane was found, the parachute was found to be intact, they thought of such a good rope, they might use it, directly take the knife and cut it. Another theory is that the U.S. government murdered Gagarin, fearing that the Soviet space program would interfere in the development of the United States, of course, this assertion is only speculation. Political theory holds that Gagarin went to participate in another secret space program, which had been secretly launched the day before, and that the accident was only a smoke bomb to cover up the plan.
The fourth theory is more mysterious, saying that this is that the aliens kidnapped Gagarin and caused the accident, in fact, Gagarin did not die, but went to the alien planet. To take the bamboo to say ah, the above statements seem to have a certain truth, whether it is caused by aliens or natural causes, it is people's urgent hope to find the cause of the hero's death. "The first man in space" Gagarin has been dead for more than half a century, and the cause of his death has been debated endlessly in the academic community, but no matter what the ending, who is the murderer, Bamboo believes that the truth will one day come out, and the hero will always be worthy of our admiration.
Okay, that's it for today's article, so did Gagarin die of natural or unnatural causes? Welcome to leave a message for bamboo, like bamboo articles, don't forget to like.
