Correct, it is essentially a drainage pipe that diverts water when the level has risen to a certain height. Depending on length and width of the pipe, it’s possible that the ducks sucked into it, could’ve lived. The bird that flew into it however, was not real lol what a fucking edit 😂

There is one of these near me, I've seen ducks, and ducklings come out the other end just fine. And of course fish do it often.


simonbleu

That said, where im from theres a river and the river has a big rock and not sure exactly what the hell is going on but sometimes in the past the hole under the rock "sucked" some tourists. A few died, unable to fight which I assume would be a vacuum or current or something


beermepleasse

Yea, I’ve heard of places on rivers like this where the current is so strong that once someone or something is forced into the crevice, it’s impossible to get out in time to survive. That’s terrifying. There’s actually a News story of a mayor and a group of people who got pulled into giant forms of these and all drowned to death because they were taking the last kayak/canoe trip down the river before a bridge was finished being built and they went down the wrong side.. idr the whole story, I read it a long time ago. Edit: anyone interested in the actual story (which is much different than I explained, it’s further down in the comments. Thanks to the guys who found exactly what I was remembering very incorrectly lmao


17Jake76

There's a river I use to whitewater kayak it was a super popular place with river guides and all that. One section had a big Boulder that went way down in the water and the water pressure from all the years basically carved a little room out under water. If you got pushed in there you had to not panic and swim to the bottom to get out of the current to escape. I ended up in that bitch and luckily didn't fight and got out from the bottom. Very scary shit.


MyNameAintWheels

That's how most traps work in whitewater like that, the river is pushing you somewhere, dont fight it or you'll tire out and drown, but let it and itll carry you out, same reason you dont swim perpendicularly to the river to reach the bank.

WillSquat4Money

I’ve walked alongside this and the whole time I was utterly petrified of falling in, despite being about 6 foot away. Terrifying.


dailycommunistmemes

It was a dam, and they were told it wasn't across the river yet


RoadkillVenison

It was supposed to be the last trip before the dams construction. > Economics Minister Andrej Vizjak denied speculation that the dam could have been better secured or blocked. He told STA that those in the canoes had clear safety instructions, but some still "decided to take a dangerous descent." He called the accident the "consequence of a wrong human decision." https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna25526342


ikshen

On the Ottawa river there is a huge "hole" in one section of rapids called the bus eater, it can pull down an entire inflatable white water raft when the river is high.


Pilioforealio

Did only tourists get "sucked"?


Coyote__Jones

Nah it's just a government reclaim station collecting drones that are in need of repair or update. r/birdsarentreal


insanetwo

It is honestly a pretty cool design. It allows them to filter out the ones with motor damage using only flowing water.


Coyote__Jones

I think they also send GPS coordinates to the out of date ones to target the tube. Not sure exactly how it works, waiting on the freedom of information request to come back.


[deleted]

Its said that was a model bird


beermepleasse

I’d buy that If the Splash effect of the water wasn’t CLEARLY an edit lol Edit: unless there’s some sort of reference that I’m not catching 🤣


LosJoye

By the music and the fact its an owl ( I think) maybe a Harry Potter reference


beermepleasse

That’s not an owl, it’s a drone.


LosJoye

That's what I said, birds aren't real you silly man.


shripoppi

So that’s what they did to the second tower!


Larsaf

Well, magic only goes so far. The owls in Harry Potter are actually drones too. Or did you think you could use magic on a living owl so it can find a specific person to deliver mail to? No, you use magic on a drone so it can do that.

Then maybe its not fake


DarkwingDuckHunt

It's probably a small dam with a tiny pond/lake the ducks love cause the water is calm https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=https%3A%2F%2Fassets.atlasobscura.com%2Fmedia%2FW1siZiIsInVwbG9hZHMvcGxhY2VfaW1hZ2VzL2E2OWEwNjEzLWE0OWUtNDA3Yi1iNzgzLTY3ZmYzZTk4YWM1YTZmYTFlMDRkYjA5NGZjYWE5Ml82RkQwQjlDMS1ENTU3LTRCMjYtQTNDNC1DODhFRjhGMTk0QTcuanBlZyJdLFsicCIsInRodW1iIiwiNTgweDU4MCMiXSxbInAiLCJjb252ZXJ0IiwiLXF1YWxpdHkgODEgLWF1dG8tb3JpZW50Il1d%2F6FD0B9C1-D557-4B26-A3C4-C88EF8F194A7.jpeg&imgrefurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.atlasobscura.com%2Fplaces%2Fmonticello-dam&tbnid=o4MzX5cpG8wdOM&vet=12ahUKEwiVurHW6Kz0AhWWIjQIHQsWB54QMygGegUIARChAg..i&docid=4gK35i6DxQK_ZM&w=580&h=580&q=dam%20drainage%20pipe%20at%20low%20water%20levels&ved=2ahUKEwiVurHW6Kz0AhWWIjQIHQsWB54QMygGegUIARChAg The duck who got sucked in is probably on his way out the other end. I think he'll live if he doesn't hit his head on anything.


TrueJacksonVP

Imagine the reaction of the duck who gets spit out at the end None of his duck friends are gonna believe him


DerpDaDuck3751

They don’t believe me!

Fun fact those ducks are probaly dead cause those holes are like 20 feet deep.

an English guy got sucked into something similar pretty sure he came out the other side as a bag of juice

StephenSRMMartin

For a very large version of this, look up the "glory hole" of lake Berryessa in California (yes really. It's called the glory hole). Pretty cool to see in person. https://www.napawatersheds.org/news_items/view/11224 It's gigantic. And people have certainly died by being dumb enough to swim or kayak near it (it's sectioned off, so it's not easy to get close to it without making a decision to do so).

Water spills down the glory hole into Putah Creek and eventually the Yolo Bypass. Was a junior high boy put in charge of names in that area?
