She had cell phone reception in eastern Siberia?

spiderman123 · Aug 17, 2011

Local environmental agency officials shot dead the bear and her three small cubs. They explained that if the cubs had tasted human flesh they might attack people again in the future, and thus had to be destroyed.

HOLY SHIT.....

Anyways, when I was younger I used to believe that a human could outrun a bear easily. I was shocked when I learned that they can be much, much faster than us.

Damn, I was planning on having 'Va, Pensiero' from Verdi's 'Nabucco', but that suggestion might have topped it.

I reckon this is the original source.

Try googling for the province in which it happened.

Here is another article.

That sounds more legit, but has none of the details of the English tabloids (including the name of the victim). Hey, maybe they hacked their phone and have a copy of the call.

There was once a butcher selling human flesh as pork in England, and the customers said it was some of the best they've ever had.

Such beautiful music to cause strife by. Has anyone co-opted Mozart's requiem 'Lacrimosa'? I'll choose that instead.

I find it hard enough to dial contacts on a mobile when I'm walking down the street, so I am finding it plenty difficult to understand how someone could do it mid-bear mauling.

jaxword · Aug 17, 2011

Innocent young girl - check.
Horrific shock value - check.
Hook to make it different (live action on cell phone!) - check.
Remote area with low population of dissenting fact-checkers - Check-checked.

Has quite a few ingredients for a tabloid-style recipe of sensational headlines.

If true...this is seriously messed up...but i'd also like to know how she managed to use her cell phone 3 times while mid bear attack. I mean damn.

This story is really hard to believe. Sounds like something a GAF member would do.

I'm being eaten alive, I should post on GAF and let em know how much it hurts.

I mean really, could you even dial a number and speak while being eaten alive. Just sounds too unbelievable.

The story is only believable if you reduce it to the facts given in the original story that smokydave posted.

I feel the rage of a bear

Rex Banner · Aug 17, 2011

A distraught mother listened on a mobile phone as her teenage daughter was eaten alive by a brown bear and its three cubs.

Olga Moskalyova, 19, gave an horrific hour-long running commentary on her own death in three separate calls as the wild animals killed her.

She screamed: 'Mum, the bear is eating me! Mum, its such agony. Mum, help!'

Her mother Tatiana said that at first she thought she was joking.

'But then I heard the real horror and pain in Olgas voice, and the sounds of a bear growling and chewing,' she added. 'I could have died then and there from shock.'

Unknown to Tatiana, the bear had already killed her husband Igor Tsyganenkov - Olgas stepfather - by overpowering him, breaking his neck and smashing his skull.

Olga, a trainee psychologist, saw the attack on her stepfather in tall grass and reeds by a river in Russia and fled for 70 yards before the mother bear grabbed her leg.

As the creature toyed with her, she managed to call Tatiana several times during the prolonged attack.Tatiana rang her husband - not knowing he was already dead - but got no answer.

She alerted the police and relatives in the village of Termalniy, near Petropavlovsk Kamchatskiy, in the extreme east of Siberia.

She begged them to rush to the river where the pair had gone to retrieve a fishing rod that Igor had left.

In a second call, a weak Olga gasped: 'Mum, the bears are back. She came back and brought her three babies. Theyre... eating me.'

Finally, in her last call - almost an hour after the first - Olga sensed she was on the verge of death.

With the bears having apparently left her to die, she said: 'Mum, its not hurting any more. I dont feel the pain. Forgive me for everything, I love you so much.'

The call cut off and that was the last Tatiana heard from her daughter.

Half an hour later, Igors brother Andrei arrived with police to find the mother bear still devouring his body. Badly mauled Olga was also dead.

Six hunters were sent in by the emergency services to kill the mother bear and her three cubs.

The double killing is the latest in a spate of bear attacks across Russia, as the hungry animals seek food in areas where people have encroached and settled on their former habitat.

A weeping Tatiana said that Olga had everything to look forward to, and was happy with her life and boyfriend Stepan.

'My daughter was such fun. She was so cheerful, friendly, and warm,' said Tatiana.

'She had graduated from music school, and just days before the bear attack she got her driving licence.'

Her husband and daughter are due to be buried today.

Was she a trainee psychologist or a music school graduate?

Olga and Igor were having an affair and they've now run off with each other.

You are attacked by a bear and her cubs. Do you:

A. Call your mom to talk about it/if you were on the phone already, keep her on the line to describe the situation.
B. Hang up the damn phone and run like a mother fucker?

A. Yeh it makes no sense until you figure odds are she was already maimed though.
B. You never run from a bear. It will catch you.

Teknoman said:

General advice is to slowly back away. Running usually ends up causing them to chase you down and since they can top 30MPH you're pretty much guaranteed to lose. Reading the article posted above it sounds like she could have gotten away too if she hadn't drawn attention to herself by running

When cubs are involved it's especially dangerous anyway. Such a bad situation to find yourself in.

Uh wild animals don't control what they eat? Of course it is completely natural if they are carnivores to eat and prey on humans. What's not natural is using a cellphone as that was a man-made invention!

Nevertheless terrible story. Do people seriously think it is easy to escape bears here? You also have to take to the equation that if you panic you can also make mistakes and not act rationally.

mocolostrocolos · Aug 17, 2011

It could have been worse, the bear calling the mom to tell that he's eating her child.

I never said it was easy to escape a bear. I said you certainly never run from one as odds are it will almost always cause the bear to pursue you.
