Tornado???
hoosiergose:
Just wondering if a tornado could account for death of the hikers? If they heard one approaching the obvious choice would be to immediately seek shelter in the ravine. No time to gather or put on clothing.
However there is one fly in the oatmeal to this theory.....
According to the autopsy report Dyatlov appeared to have circular injuries around his ankles as if he had been bound or tied. If this happened then we can safely dismiss the severe weather theory. The evidence would then point to outside attackers. Or???? Did Dyatlovs fellow hikers bind him for some reason? It is interesting & curious to note that Igor Dyatlov suffered far less physical injuries than the majority of his fellow hikers.

Tornado Theory crops up occasionally in this Forum. Karmen Vortex is another Term used. But the Dyatlov Group would have been aware of the various weather phenomenon that occurred in that part of Siberia.

There is no guarantee or evidence, that the group would have been aware of the different weather phenomenons or anomalies for that matter. Also, being aware is one thing, experiencing the effect/s in real life situation is another. We tend to easily presume, that the group was ultra-experienced so to say, as if there was nothing they can`t anticipate or could go wrong. Obviously this was not the case.

Well its true they couldnt have expected what they encounted, but they would have had some idea of what the weather could throw at them in that region of Siberia.

To Sarapuk
Being aware of local weather is one thing - but tornados can form & appear quite suddenly- sometimes with very little warning & no time to react- sometimes a mere matter of seconds can mean the difference between life or death. I am very familiar with tornados as I have lived my entire life in tornado alley. They can descend upon you in the blink of an eye. One of the most destructive forces on the planet.
The scenario I suggest is that the hikers heard the approaching tornado (sound of a locomotive) bearing down on them (keep in mind it is dark and they could not see it, only hear it) - they promptly cut open and fled the tent and a few of them who suffered the most serious injuries were possibly hit by flying debris or picked up and slammed into the ground or trees. In their haste and in total darkness they may have inadvertently walked out in front of it or dangerously close.
BTW - a so called Karmin Vortex & a tornado are entirely two different things - two entirely different phenomenon.
A Karmin Vortex does not have the devastating power of a tornado. It can generate an infrasound, but not destroy buildings or uproot trees.
