i know there’s the joke that as kids we thought that the bermuda triangle and quicksand were way more serious than they actually are but you know what else i thought was a notable danger? whirlpools. i thought they just kind of popped up in the ocean randomly and sucked down giant ships to the bottom of the ocean and it was a big problem.
do you know how many recorded cases there have been of whirlpools sucking down large ships? zero. it’s never fucking happened in real life.
what i thought whirlpools were like
vs the actual third largest whirlpool in the world
That’s the Gulf of Corryvreckan off the coast of Scotland. Granted, it doesn’t look as impressive as the whirlpools we imagined as kids. However, it’s just as deadly.
