@Witch's Brew Views He is surely dead because once at the bottom of this whirlwind the water and all his force and his weight crashed on him has can be more than 80km / h (for a man it is as if you fell from Niagara Falls and you stayed under the most powerful water column. Or since this whirlwind must have lasted before it died out, it may have died of drowning.
There needs to be an eradication program for cormorants, they eat their own weight in juvenil fish per day, and they are in plague numbers. The stupid greenies and politicians blame the fish depletion on human fishery.
@@grancito2 maybe so. I don’t know much about cormorants, but regardless of whether the cormorants are an issue, I still want to see the cute little bird be okay. I can’t help it. I’m a sucker for any animal.
I live in Southern CA and have never been to Napa, but I'd rather spend ten minutes watching that spillway (after a heavy rainy season) than spend half a day pleasantly drunk on some winery tour. Ever since I learned about bellmouth spillways a few years ago, they've been fascinating to me. I've only seen online footage; these structures are awesome and somewhat scary. There are videos from trespassers (rappelling down the hole or walking through the horizontal conduit) during dry spells. Fortunately there's been only one human fatality in the spillway at Lake Berryessa. The one at Ladybower in the UK and the one in Wicklow, Ireland are in especially beautiful surroundings.
Didn't a young girl fall in there years back? I answered my own question. The only recorded Berryessa spillway death is that of swimmer Emily Schwalek, 41, of Davis who was killed in 1997 when she was sucked down the Monticello Dam at Lake Berryessa spillway. Lake Berryessa hole acts as a “giant drain” for the Monticello Dam in Napa Valley, California.
Water fowl can survive pretty brutal currents. I live near the Skagit River (major undertow), I've watched ducks diving in and get shot out hundred of yards downstream, no issue. Doesn't phase em.
It's amazing how all of these boneheads run this story and never once mention that Cormorants dive underwater to catch fish. Gee, do you think that may have something to do with how it survived.
Duck- im just gonna explore this hole mommy Mama duck- nooooo Duck- its ok nothing gonna happ.. help! Mama duck- noooo 2 years later Mama duck- son is that u? Duck- shut up, and never talk about that place again
Everybody talking about the bird I want to know more about that drain. Doesn't even seem possible. Is it man made? Does it open and close? So many questions it's unreal.
I feel like a human could survive in a special bubble-like thing as long as it kept forward momentum and didn’t get crushed. Hopefully someone a lot smarter in physics could explain
I think a human could easily go down there as long as they stayed on the curved side of the pipe, they would just go along with the flow. I'd say the worst part would be coming out of the end.
They shouldn’t have placed the drain along the shoreline. I bet hundreds of animals have fallen into it over the years. It should be away from the shore and have a screen that comes up several feet above the water. This is dangerous even to boaters, swimmers,
I am sure you have the expertise required to say such things. "They shouldn’t have placed the drain along the shoreline." Why? You say this with NOTHING to back it up. Do you know the geology of the area? Are you a civil engineer who has experience with this specific lake? If not, then you are talking out your ass. You're not qualified. "I bet hundreds of animals have fallen into it over the years." Sure, but do you know why the drain is there in the first place? Do you know how many more animals would die due to flooding? "It should be away from the shore and have a screen that comes up several feet above the water." - So the screen will need to be maintained, it will get clogged, and animals will get stuck on it. Your plan is shortsighted, and it's clear you're still talking out your ass. "This is dangerous even to boaters, swimmers," - Give me a fucking break. Seriously, are you that dumb? This is your objection? That boaters and swimmers would be swimming near the drain? You're definitely special. If you do have experience, I would like to know where they should have placed the drain and why. I am sure they just randomly placed the drain, just threw a dart and decided that was a good spot! Dumbasses SMH. Random youtuber knows all! You heard it here first, Swimbait1 knows everything. He would have done the job in one day with the correct placement! How? Well, he is an expert at the youtubes. He just knows the drain should go somewhere else, he doesn't need any actual information about the area and the makeup of the rock layers or anything like that. Nope, just eyeball it. Swimbait1, you will save the Earth trillions with your brilliant ideas. We cut out the expensive engineers who just place the drains randomly and you should do it because you know best.
Of course he's going to say it survived. He's the one that's gonna have to install the protective barrier when animal rights activists start protesting, and he doesn't want to have to do that job.
The 'Fall' is full of turbulent air and water and therefore is not moving fast (not as fast as it looks) and not filling the pipe solid with water. It is how people survive going over waterfalls.
disgusts me that they can't net/fence off just the area surrounding the drain with small enough holes that water gets through enough but the birds can't get in? so if it was a durable non rusting metal fence (idk what won't rust, sorry) built like a dome/monkey toy jungle gym thing with small enough holes that under the surface fish are okay and if this is happening to a bird instead of what happened here it would just get caught and able to climb up and dry off and fly away? who do I need to talk to to tell them this idea I feel like it's not hard to think up I'm half asleep so tired at 5am I was looking up bird sounds and diving ducks and found this. so idk. it seems doable? 1. lower big fence with ground penetrating spikes into water around hole *will look like big pig pen* 2. lower another layer, or this one in pieces for easier assembly, and weld it to the first layer 3. another layer if needed 4. when needed, top layer *will look like sphere cage ball that motorcycle Daredevils would drive around in* 5. animals are ok
I don't know how many year ago that was but definitely not 2019. I go wakeboarding there every year and the water level was at least 10ft lower than what it used to be for several years. It's sad to see the glory hole becoming effectively obsolete.
A human wouldn't survive because of our weight. A bird doesn't weigh much and the feathers help it to be buoyant and float on the water. With that amount of water going over, it is likely 3-4 feet deep in a pool at the bottom where the elbow turns towards the dam and the bird was cushioned and floated on the water. A human would have crash landed into the concrete even if that water was 6-8 feet deep. Huge difference.
"It looked like a duck, but turns out it's not. More on that in a second." That's the most local news thing I've ever heard.

They drown in a tube like augustus gloop.
@Stacy with no E Yes it was this exact same place. I live 5 miles from here and no she did not survive.
Her name was Emily Schwalek.
I don't know about you, but any other kind of spillway is comfortable to be around. This one is straight up terrifying.
Yes agreed. I’ve always had a fear of spillways and damns, but this one takes the cake.
Yeah this doesn’t look like the type of dam whose lake would be ideal for water activities, just for power generation, irrigation and flood protection

It's a Cormorant which dives inside water and catch and eat fish. It is simply doing what it does, just that it is also having too much fun here.
Cormorants dive quite deep to hunt fish so the bird could definitely survive if he survived the fall.

It didn't survive. At the bottom of the shaft, it was smashed on the concrete by falling water.
Why won’t their county build some kind of Barrier fence around that hole?? Omg
As teenagers we used to go down the glory hole and you just get spit out into Putah Creek below the dam. It was an adrenaline rush for sure.
