Daredevil photographer drowns after being sucked into deadly whirlpool

Hayle Harbour, United Kingdom, 2013

The Whirlpool

"The whirlpool in Hayle Harbour only appears a few times a year. It was a quirk of Victorian engineering devised to stop the harbour silting up. Water would be stored in a pool at high tide and, once the tide had retreated, released back into the harbour to wash away the sand. The water would get into the pool through a tunnel beneath a quay. But sometimes the tide would come back in faster than the water could pass through the tunnel."

This would create the whirlpool.

Fuckwit wearing a horse mask does some dumb shit.... who would have thought it? What a right wanker.

The well educated English people who are apparently unable to spell words in their native language also mistake marvelous engineering for mother nature- Jacob should have dragged his friends in with him and upped the collective IQ of the area.

They all have room temperature IQ over there. Along with awful teeth.
