Engineer and researcher Ronald B. Hardwig presents a comprehensive study of tornado formation and their possible link to aviation disasters in his new book, Science About How Tornadoes and Vortexes Form and How They are Causing Planes to Crash (including MH370). Drawing from decades of professional engineering experience and independent research, Hardwig explores how high-velocity jet streams contribute to the development of tornadoes and vortexes, and how these atmospheric forces may have affected aircraft such as Air France 447, AirAsia 8501, and even the mysterious disappearance of Malaysian Airlines flight MH370.
Hardwig’s fascination with engineering began in childhood and developed through a long career in civil and mechanical engineering. His professional work included designing roads, bridges, and maintenance systems for the Illinois Department of Transportation, where he identified critical design flaws that later influenced bridge safety standards. These experiences, combined with a personal connection to the 1925 Tri-State Tornado that claimed his great-grandfather’s life, sparked his determination to study the mechanics of tornado formation. In his research, Hardwig identifies the High Velocity Overhead Jet Stream (HVOJS) as a major factor in tornado development, introducing the concept of a “tornado threshold” at approximately 58 knots. His studies also examine how vortexes created by both natural forces and human-made structures, such as power plants or volcanic eruptions, can form sudden atmospheric disturbances. Hardwig’s work extends beyond meteorology into aviation safety. The book outlines how aircraft encountering vortexes may experience sudden pressure changes, potentially leading to crashes. Through case studies of multiple aviation accidents, Hardwig suggests that vortex-related conditions could provide alternative explanations to those offered in official reports. One of the most compelling sections of the book addresses MH370, where Hardwig applies his engineering background and satellite mapping techniques to propose a potential crash site. His approach highlights how new perspectives may contribute to ongoing debates about aviation safety and accident investigation.
About the Author Ronald B. Hardwig is a professional engineer whose career spans highway design, bridge maintenance, and computer systems for government and education. His expertise in problem-solving and technical analysis underpins his independent research into tornado formation and aviation safety. Global Book Network - Ronald B.
