Definition of a whirlpool
A rapid circular current of liquid. [syn: vortex, maelstrom]
A vortex is any whirlpool with a downdraft.
A maelstrom is the term applied to the most powerful whirlpools.
The most powerful natural whirlpools are the result of tidal changes and the resulting fast-flowing water through narrow shallow straits.
But most people are more familar with smaller less dangerous whirlpools that occur in streams or at the bottom of waterfalls. To be sure, these whirlpools can cause lots of problems for watercraft, and they can pull people down and not let them up. So they are dangerous, but not to the scale of a maelstrom whirlpool that can swallow a boat. Real or Fake? Whirlpool!](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/bYBt2Km2BYo/mqdefault.jpg)
![Bermuda Triangle Whirlpool! (Exclusive)
The Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devils Triangle, is a region in the western part of the North Atlantic Ocean where a number of aircraft and surface vessels are said to have disappeared under mysterious circumstances. Popular culture has attributed these disappearances to the paranormal or activity by extraterrestrial beings.[1] Documented evidence indicates that a significant percentage of the incidents were spurious, inaccurately reported, or embellished by later authors.[2][3][4] Contrary to popular belief, insurance companies dont charge higher rates for passage through this area

![The Biggist Whirlpool In The World!?
The five strongest whirlpools in the world[citation needed] are the Saltstraumen outside Bodø in Norway, which reaches speeds of 37 km/h (23 mph); the Moskstraumen off the Lofoten islands in Norway (the original maelstrom), which reaches speeds of 27.8 km/h (17.3 mph); the Old Sow in Eastport, Maine, United States, which has been measured with a speed of up to 27.6 km/h (17.1 mph); the Naruto whirlpools in Japan,[2] which have a speed of 20 km/h (12 mph); and the Corryvreckan in Scotland, which reaches speeds of 18 km/h (11 mph).
Powerful whirlpools have killed unlucky seafarers, but their power tends to be exaggerated by laymen. There are virtually no stories of large ships ever being sucked into a whirlpool. Tales like those by Paul the Deacon, Jules Verne and Edgar Allan Poe are entirely fictional. The closest equivalent might have been[original research?] the short-lived whirlpool that sucked in a portion of Lake Peigneur in New Iberia, Louisiana, United States after a drilling mishap in 1980. This was not a naturally-occurring whirlpool, but a man-made disaster caused by breaking through the roof of a salt mine. The lake then behaved like a gigantic bathtub being drained, until the mine filled and the water levels equalized.

![Lion Attacks Man (Horrific Lion Attack!)
Hunters get attacked by a lion
An African lion killed a worker Wednesday at a wildlife sanctuary called Cat Haven in Dunlap, California.
Twenty-four-year-old Dianna Hanson of Seattle died after a 350-pound (160-kilogram) lion named Cous Cous escaped a smaller pen and attacked Hanson as she was cleaning its main enclosure, according to CNN. Hanson reportedly died quickly of a broken neck, and the lion inflicted other injuries after death. The Fresno County sheriff deputy shot and killed the lion in an effort to stop the attack, but it was too late, according to news reports. (Also see Pittsburgh Zoo Tragedy: Why Did African Wild Dogs Attack Boy?)
We asked two leading big cat experts to weigh in on the tragedy: Craig Packer, a 2012 National Geographic Waitt grantee and ecologist at the University of Minnesota; and conservation scientist Luke Dollar, grant-program director of the National Geographic Societys Big Cats Initiative.
What was your reaction to the news?
Craig Packer: The young woman was apparently attacked when the lion broke out of its holding cage and caught her while she was cleaning out its enclosure. Fully-fledged zoos are always extremely careful to keep their staff out of harms way with heavy duty holding facilities.
Luke Dollar: I hope we dont try to vilify a law-enforcement officer who was acting on short notice in an attempt to get medical attention to the victim as quickly as possible. The danger has to be removed.
The lion is a predator and its a big, powerful animal. Whether it intended to attack and devour the keeper or simply played too rough is not clear at present. Whats certain is that these animals demand a great deal of respect and constant vigilance.
Is there any bigger takeaway from this incident?
CP: Lions attract a lot of attention: Lion Country Safari, the Lion King, Born Free, Chronicles of Narnia, the Cowardly Lion, etc. They are big fluffy mammals with cute cubs and affectionate family relationships.
Most of the time they seem relaxed and cuddly—so its easy to forget that they react to meat with the reflexive instincts of a shark. Ten years ago Roy Horne (of Siegfried and Roy) was attacked by a tiger that they had handled for years—these attacks happen when people forget about the shark inside.
Can wild animals like lions be domesticated?
LD: To take a big cat and treat it as a pet is ill advised. It really is wonderful to love and respect these creatures, but it is truly folly [to think] that one can commune and be friends with them. We have learned that lesson over and over, whether its with bears or big cats or venomous snakes.
We have this fascination [with dangerous animals such as lions] because of their potential lethality, but for some reason we still cross the line that should never be crossed. ... Anthropomorphization is a dangerous thing. These are wild animals—this is not Simba from the Lion King.
