Corryvrechan Whirlpool, Scotland

[katie11xoxo]

I live near the corryvreckan been through it loads xx

[zanville1]

holy crap, I wouldn't want to fall overboard anywhere that footage was taken.

[dude7198]

I couldn't see the whirl of the pool. If that's the 2nd largest tidal whirlpool in the world then how is it recored so close up? hmmm......

[TVLandon]

if the ocean is deep, your longs collapse like you went diving, if you reach the ocean floor, the whirlpools force crushes your corneas (Eye pupils), your lungs, and at times, although gross and people will be immature, your testicalls. I don't think anyone will mess with them after reading these 3 posts. Please do not mess with Mother Nature. When you mess with her, you mess with God.

[blacksupra001]

@TVLandon haha you said testicles :P and no i will never go near a whirlpool im kinda phobic about big water, yikes !!! :O

[TVLandon]

no matter how big or small, how slow or fast it's sppining, NEVER go within 100 feet of it. It is a terrible fate of drowning, and a whirlpool is 5x as worse. If you drown in a whirlpool, it is a slow death, it is not like drowning. When you are sucked in, as it swirls it gives you air, then sucks you back down, slowly ruining your lungs and making you tired and drowsy. When you finally lose the battle, you get shot at a speed of 15mph (depending on size really) to the ocean floor.

[TVLandon]

It's all fun and games now, but what they don't realize is that every second counts. Even when not fully formed, they are extremely dangerous. That whirlpool could, in seconds, have a irregular gravitational callapsion. To simple that up, it could completely bottom out at a maximum speed of 3-4 seconds. Otherwise it turns to a big whirlpool in seconds. I will tell all of you right now, and you better listen, never mess with Mother Nature. If you see water swirling, no matter.. see other comment

[Pirategoth]

All I saw in that was a small waterspout...

[SceeeneX]

It's the 3rd biggest in the world so everyone can stfu

[brownbrador45]

it wouldnt be me ps is there enough petrol in the tank

[mrbassman2010]

"oh a big whirlpool? hmm. we gotta find a damn boat and see this thing up close."

[hmnanda]

i am aquaphobic and watching this makes me queasy

[r3mote]

@hmnanda what do aquaphobes feel about rain?

[De3xtra]

this must be one of those you had to be there instances

[DeeDeeShayy]

Ive been here! You can hear it from 2 miles away when it is at full speed! Its really cool and im only 14

[DeeDeeShayy]

Ive been here!

[weert6666]

so whirlpool is like choppy water and loud noise? 

[halsamdu]

where is the whirlpool ? here only sea currents, and relatively weak

[maxbedford1987]

apparently a doco team threw in a mannequin with a life jacket, it got pulled to a depth of 262 metres and was dragged on the bottom. well according to wikipedia, anyway.

[zadienne]

I can make a bigger one in the bath tub

[knomip666]

retarded



[EyeMaske]

Holy shit bro. Lets drive up to it in a boat and ruin the worlds 2nd largest tidal whirlpool.

[maxxor363]

i dint c anything

[godofwar6511]

i be scarecas shit to be caught in 1

[stewinsalot]

You'd think the world's largest whirlpool would look more distinctly like a whirlpool...

[TheOne74613]

when i see such nonesense like driving over it over and over again i think you deserve to get sucked in there and die painfully, no joke

[123tommycool]

@conorava1 it aint gonna be that scary your fallng thro a endless hole cant be to scary bring a picknick ill give u 2 years if u live ill pay u 10 BILLION POUNDS

[synystergates07]

ook 2 theories: 1, they're foreigners and they dont know wtf a whirlpool actually is. 2: from the look of if half way through the video the boat looked to be going in circles as maybe to attempt to create a whirlpool.,. either way....Dumb.

[jamieclark420]

pfft

[Duckhammer]

Contrary to popular fiction, whirlpools, even big ones (maelstroms) are very rarely strong enough to suck in boats. Of course, you better not be near one without a boat unless you happen to be a champion swimmer who can hold his breath for six minutes. And then I still would strongly recommend against it.

[dinobird11]

wtf? O_O :O

[benreichLIVE]

wanna know where to see heaps of whirlpools at one time... The Kimberly Coast.

[sc400on6z]

holy mother of pizza dat is hella big

[Zardul]

Look, a whirlpool! I have the greatest of ideas, we'll drive the boat right over it! :O

[LMAOProductionsHAHA]

Tht shit is scary. OMG, i wouldnt wanna get in tht.

[serpenta2tete]

My first Fear is the wirlpool and the black hole .

[IvanDrago187]

what would happen if you fell into the water there? 

[cameronasa4]

@IvanDrago187 you die

[On1Ei8htSe7en]

@IvanDrago187

You would get wet... that much I can guarantee.

[tudortoomey]

Och aye the waterr be movin'

[ForzaRacingGenk91]

the stupid thing is u are filming it before u know it u get sucked in to one and then there is no escaping from it anymore how damn stupid can u people be ???? .......

[PurplePunisher69]

Whirlpool actually means a place where whirls (eddies or vortices ) "pool" or collect - it defines an actual stretch of water . The whirls come and go like tornadoes spawning and dieing - but most people expect , when they hear of say "Niagara rapids whirlpool" , to see something that is there in the same place 24/7/365

[KHROMATICxKHAOS]

HOLY SHIT! THAT THING IS GIANT! How could you not see it!?

[msharleybaby]

i didnt see the whirl pool it would be cool if some one jumpt in it lol next one it would be funny and throu a pop can it would be funny see it go whirl pool diving

[lepora6]

Whirlpool????????????????

[TheBaziiN]

@lepora6 this is it relatively quite...you cant go there when it is strong 

[dungeoneer]

Nekr60 - where about is this, I live in Scotland and would like to see it, is that an official boat tour? thanks!

[24934637]

@dungeoneer.

The Waverly paddle steamer does a visit there.

Leaves from near the Glasgow Science centre.

[dungeoneer]

@24934637

Cool thanks, will check it out next time I'm In Glasgow.

[mariopianist]

the largest whirlpool in the world is the saltstraumen whirlpool in norway or netherlands

[baroose67]

Actually the 2nd largest whirlpool in th world is the Old Sow between Deer Island New Brunswick and Eastport Maine and the third is in Japan. This may be the fourth but I'd have to research it to say that for sure.

[yaminyaz77889]

lol that is so cool, fun ride (joke) what about the fishes, or birds that sit on it not noticing :/

[islamisit12]

you know, they say when whirlpools occur its the kraken coming up for air

[alxgunshot]

HOLY SHIT!

Be at shore its Charybdis!

[conorava1]

it would be scary if you got sucked into one!

[JubeJubeJuliet]

@conorava1 those are glory holes. not whirlpools buuut it is possible in scotland. xD

[CuurlyBro]

@conorava1 I've been sucked into one. Most scary thing that has ever happened.

[arniewarnie]

a maelstrom/whirlpool is when 2 ocean currents are like colliding and they are going the opposite direction making the water caught up in the place where the currents clash spin round causing a whirlpool/maelstrom

[roflingcoptering]

well thats not the only way for whirlpools to be created but the other ways are much more complicated to explain

[TroyaE117]

Careful.

This is an awful place in unsettled weather.

[spcyamada808]

Whirlpools keep my shit in check. Literally

[noobainator]

if u jump inside a whirlpool if its not deeper then twice your body length you will break the whirlpool and be able to come up at will if u jump in at an ocean (idiot) u will be sucked into the bottom of the sea just more quick and confusing then swimming there ppl dont understand the power of these things once a person got her intestines pulled out partially through a place (doctors saved her)

[philly442]

where the fuck you go if you dive in that some bitch

[dentonbrowne]

u will just go to the bottom of the ocean, its just a current swirling under water i believe

[bryanttie]

3rd largest but still big. And technically its a maelstrom not a whirlpool

[Koroush51]

doesn't look that big...

[loadeduk]

i seen a program about this, the reason it does this is because under that water there is a MASSIVE rock, and as the tide goes in/out it is pushed up over this massive rock causing the whirlpool. the rock almost comes upto the surface its massive. It has nothing to do with green monsters or space monkeys.

[bikeawsome]

nah dude your wrong, pretty sure it was the space monkeys..

[yoozum]

just saw a history channel special on this stuff last night! clashing currents alone won't create the spin, but there needs to be a circular flow to the clashing waters. the circular flow can be caused by a large underwater obstacle, like an underwater mountain.

dsmoke8180: the spin does not come from the Earth's rotation, which is pretty obvious even if you know squat about physics. and i'm not sure what astronomy has to do with whirlpools, as you so referenced...

[xxstealerxx]

umm im gonna sound stupid but how exactly does a whirlpool form?

[globetrotter1121]

there number of ways

1. suction like drain etc the spin comes from earth rotation

2. fast flowing water being obstructed like by bridge pylon .

3. number of water flows (currents) hitting each other

[dsmoke8180]

lol the spin comes from the earth rotation...someone needs a class in astronomy/physics

[globetrotter1121]

yes it does northern hemisphere opposite to the southern on equator it does not spin. look it up. I seen it with my own eyes :)) also nothing to do astronomy but with the Coriolis Effects. So read up

[RaTionaLisT13]

lol i know,, that explanation is against physics......

[kecola]

@dsmoke8180 LOL You can't possibly be serious.

[TheresAGhostInMyBeer]

The KRAKEN!!!

[stormjib3]

Great vid, brings back memories of  diving the pinnacle at slack water, think it was about 1994, we were all experienced drift divers, but on the way out on the boat there was just silence from the divers as we were all apprehensive of the dive, the way back, we were all buzzin......Great dive.

[skypogi923]

loves it but you need the high quality of your cam :p

[jbrabec22]

That's the Loch Ness Monster you turkeys!

[001jellybee]

LLOOOOOOOOOOOL XD THATS FLIPPING BRITAIN O_O I SEEN ONE.

jailhousefilms your friends brother was killed by a whirlpool how sad

[nuggbubbler]

OLD SOW motherfuckerz!!!

[Zippyraww]

i wonder too

[frasei28]

Yeah how we aint all died yet is amazing

[pilotdave1000]

is it scary to be in one?

[28902895]

a real one drags you down to the bottom of where its coming from which could be quite dangerous. yes.

[tupac2furious]

thats just a trail of water forming circle from the stupid boat! i wanted to see a bloody whirlpool!

[luckliberty]

all I saw was water. where was the damn whirlpool

[Bimfirestarter]

@luckliberty -I know what you mean. I always hope to see this huge swirling mass of water like the one that ate up the Pequod in the old Moby Dick film....been afraid of whirlpools ever since....

[justme6677]

@luckliberty look where the water looks lowered

[deeFUNKtify]

@luckliberty lol if u observed, the water flowed in a clockwise direction, the foam bit they cruised through at 0.13 was the centre of the whirlpool...its not gonna look like the whirlpool in pirates of the carribean 3, cuz its only a tidal whirlpool...bit its big for one.

[autopsy90]

@luckliberty its a tidal whirlpool.....

[aquanette123]

@luckliberty they r somewhat in it. no hole was formed but that water, if u look, was going around.

[K1w1scot]

@luckliberty Look at the whitrwatr between when the woman says "Jura" and the man saying "beauty". Notice the water flowing in different directions. Although not a 'clean' whirlpool, there sure as hell was a lot of power in it, judging by the immense upwelling.

[nvstewart]

Saw a documentary about the whirlpools in scotland. They put small boat in one, and it pulled it down.  They also put a dummy in one that waights the same as a human, attached to a wire. The dummy was pulled down several hundered metres, you would not survive....

[sloshmold]

Yea i saw that shit, its cool stuff

[Zerosupersayan]

i got a question, what if a whirlpool sucks you in, u can drown, right?

[gotjitz420]

Are u serious with that question?

[MuckyxxMassacre]

where is the whirlpool?

[tristan01101]

.. there's nothing remotely unusual about this video. I see no whirlpool. A tide rip, maybe. But no whirl pool.

[getserious666]

Its the Corryvreckon Whirpool the 3rd largest in the world! So in response its not simply a tide rip! donut!

[itfcsam]

isnt that between Islay and Jura. I think we've wanted to go there but havent been there. Good to find a video of it. Nice one

[GrantonianDan]

I'd be like,

"HEY!? WTF ARE YOU DOING!?!"

[benamps]

so is it always there?

[phillip93]

and they arn't afraid of it?

[MaterialgirlxxoQ]

Whirl pools arent anything to be afraid of if you're ontop of the water. I've surfed over one b4 and it kinda almost sucked me in but it didn't, its was like a baby pushing you...lol

[speeps84]

cause it was probably really small and also you were on top of something that floated

[MaterialgirlxxoQ]

It was just like this one...and Durr

[noahwang615]

where is the whirlpool

[Thor7036]

well, whats the largest whirlpool then ?

[tdlr94]

No, this one is one of the largest in the world, but the LARGEST is in Norway

[Thor7036]

i know, it's saltstraumen

[jurassicjoshua]

i read that i while ago in w i k i p e d i a it's one of the strongest in the world

[charlieclockwerk]

BFD

[emalou13]

are u in the middle of it?

[theboywithnoface]

wat causes a whirlpool

[Inaura17]

Its a natural vortex where the two tides meet in the water.

Looks impressive

[chuckeieio]

Spinning water.

This one is tidal but others are caused by vortex same as your sink. (mostly near intakes nearby dams and power facilities.

[mrarbuckle69]

There is one off Vancouver Island But its bigger

[chuckeieio]

Show us, or it doesn't exist!

:):):)

[mrarbuckle69]

And why is that hard to believe? Its only a whirlpool.. Their all over the world, in all kinds of sizes.

[chuckeieio]

There's one bigger out front of my house too!

You're right, they're everywhere!! Yikes!

Sorry my camera is broken, same as yours.:)

[mrarbuckle69]

Lmao i need a boat to get to where it is lol and i dont have a boat.......can i use your boat?

[chuckeieio]

Mine was a tin boat with a 9.9hp

Got sucked up last year in the big "Whirpool of 08"

Lost my wife and dog to that monstrosity too. Damn i miss that dog!

LOL. Cheers

[mrarbuckle69]

Aww poor doggie, atleast you walked away Wife? ah you can always find a new one..

[yankeedoodlecajun]

sorry.hope you find a new one

[chowmeen]

isn't it dangerous?

[impalabeeper]

duh.

[Blabist]

I dont see it

[VideoGuy18]

I never realized it was that big. Did everyone survive?

[22bujinkan]

thats alittle to close

[killer102065]

kind of gay

[alienpatentoffice]

Nice video! I wonder what it look like taken from a helicopter. Anybody who knows of a video taken from above it, please, please let me know.

[hatesquests]

WOOT! finally I get a video of a whirlpool, not some stupid song by a band that no one cares about.

[csskid]

2nd largest? hhmmmm all the more reason to stay away from it...

[Ohfishyfishyfish]

That's one theory. It's most likely just caused when someone pulls out the plug.

[mkfan09]

lol

[cha0s28]

sometimes in volcanic regions whirlpools are caused when hot magma rises to the bed of the ocean floor but does not break through it, the heating of the water causes hot water to rise and the colder water surrounding it to swirl in and repeat the same process.. megaplumes i believe its called.. imho

[neilandfi]

This one is caused by an intense tidal race,which in turn is caused by the tide being funnelled through a narrowing gap between two islands. But then, as the tide is chrging through the gap,which is narrow but deep, it hits a steep submerged peak. This forces the current to be diverted straight up,and then get sucked straight down the other side. I saw a test where a human dummy was dropped into the water there. Within a minute it was 200 ft down,and resurfaced hundreds of yards away

[Sharkotron]

There is also a great big steep underwater mountain peak that helps the whirlpool form.

[yankeedoodlecajun]

basically an underwater tornado

[DBXROCKIN]

dont call me stupid or nothing please=/ i just need a little explaining but i dont see nothing dramatic about this besides at 10.. and thats barley n e thing==/ i thogut a whirlpool had like a big circle in the middle and the water spins around very fast or something=/?

[sean6932]

the water underneath is spinning much faster. think of a tornado.

[dagothnicaraguan]

Even if it doesn't suck you down I would still be scared go ontop of it, its would just feel so surreal.

[TroyaE117]

This is an awful place in unsettled weather.

If there is a wind from the west, and the tide is running against it, then beware, beware, beware.

You will get shipwrecked.

[Pendulum711]

Man overboard!

[hechser]

People die in Corryvrechan when they go swimming just before the tides change.

They get sucked in, and the rip currents drag their bodies out to sea or smash them into rocks.

Nobody survives.

[freerunskate]

haha, god that was dramatic

NOBODY SURVIVES

[hechser]

well i do try ;)

haha

[Poloapzy]

this whirlpool is nothing compared to the Old Sow. I went to it and it was huge! i saw a whirlpool easily over 15 feet across

[h1pp1911]

can you send me the url of the video

[cybersilvermoon]

you should read the comments, that question has been asked by different people and has been answered already :)

[Swampertchamp]

The wirlpool is HUGE! ,but the seconf largest.

[ebulldozer68]

u need a hole and water :)

thts wht i c on this clip!

im just wonderin if any hole works....like A.Hole!?

nt sure btw :))

[cybersilvermoon]

like bastaman i too would like to know what happens if you get "swallowed" by it. We all know what happens in the middle of hurricanes and tornadoes. Can someone explainwhat happens if you fall in a whirlpool?

[fuckyouLiLcunts]

ok well there are two type of whirl pools but both will grab oyu nd suck you down

1. Caused by a gap or hole in the ground or a crack,the air escapes sucking water into its place.

2. By 2 different current hitting each other at a low point below the surface,usually occuring near bridge pole legs in the ocean these could last all day

Hope this helped :)

[cybersilvermoon]

Thank you very much for your reply :)

You seem like a nice person, with all due respect and hoping not to offend you: you may want to change your user name to reflect your niceness :) It´s hard to find serious, knowledgeable and nice people on the internet :)

[Redtopaz14]

WEEEEEEEE!?

[HerJollyRoger]

oh what a whirl, what a whirl...

[belfastgypo]

lol I went in that whirlpool, was really calm though so I hardly felt a thing when I was on it

[bastaman123]

what happens if you get in 1?

[stevemb88]

you go to the center of the earth DUH

[funnyblackmans]

hah ye an then touch earths core

[bastaman123]

didnt know. got a problem with it?

[justgobananas12]

well...it spins you in and you can't get out. the end!

[TheRandomSlacker]

did i just hear right, that guy just called it a fucking beauty whats wrong with those ppl gtfo the water lol

[Papaya916]

if i was there ill cry ill be scared Lol. i don't wanna die get suck in whirlpool

[adventureorfun]

Awesome sight! thanks 4 the vid!!! I love whilpools! They are truly stunning!

[jonatube28]

Och aye the nooo!

[randomalldaway]

the first biggest is in the movie pirates of the carrabians right?

[DontLogOffordie]

haha good movie

[jessesem]

i hate canadians

[TheHusky9]

arent they dangerous?

[zaqgt5]

yes, very.

[Southpark124]

Eggbagg lol I don't think anyone would ever find your shovel lol Though how much would you pay?

LOL
