The Vortex of Thorold Ontario(2 videos!)
about 10 feet below the water surface is a huge tube. This is what causes the vortex. If you fall in, you will die, the tube will carry you at a very fast rate right to the valve pit, the from there you will be extruded through several small openings. its part of a working canal. the water goes through a tube and over a spillway. the "vortex" is caused by the water being drained out of the pond so quickly. this all has to do with the welland canal. located in Ontario Canada.

That's an accident waiting to happen and it will be a child who pays the price over curiosity.

I'd so love to see my ex-wife swirling around in that, screaming while I stand on a boat with a life vest in my hand, laughing....no, I really would.

@The Judge And to my kids...that's why I said what I said here, and I sincerely meant it. I would really and truly enjoy watching her swirl around and get sucked down into this thing. My kids would, too, and we'd probably even make popcorn for the event.

Here is a crazy idea. Why dont they seal this area off. Looks like a serial killers ideal dumping ground. Just blame it on some poor soul who feel in the water.

Do you have the coordinates? I'm in that area most weekends in the summer. This is the first I've heard about it.

@Slugo4 They're calling 80% chance of thunder showers, so I'm thinking it'll be a wash, even though it's bright & sunny out now. Maybe next week, I'll bring my helmet cam, just might be able to find it :@)
