it would be scary if you got sucked into one!

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

@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.

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......

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.

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.

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
