Near the banks of the Daugava River in Dviete, Latvia, a monstrous world pool was filmed devouring all that nears it. Most whirlpools form when two fast moving currents meet, flowing against eachother in opposite directions. This whirlpool, however, was formed when water from the swollen river began flowing into an inlet upstream. As it flowed on the upstream side of a bridge, everything sucked in- massive ice chunks, plants, and other floating debris- everything was funneled under the road which the spectators are standing on in this video. Janis Astics, who took the footage, described that the powerful whirlpool is "swallowing everything dragged towards its direction".
