I saw this on another site and was amazed, especially about the river in Yorkshire.

 

[mnewsham]

that river is crazy

 

[AgentUnknown]

never heard of any of these. The strid looks crazy b/c it looks normal.

 

[CraKaJaX]

cool read. we'll have to check that lake out if we end up going to Dominica for vacation this year...

 

[GagHalfrunt]

All the more reason to not get tricked by this "save the planet" crap. If it's trying to kill us, we should be trying to kill it.

 

[Cuda1447]

Good article. The Strid is the one that is most scary. Innocent looking, 100% mortality rate. That's a problem right there.

 

[SAWYER]

I cant believe none of these were on Planet Earth

I wonder how many corpses are in the Strid. People know about it now, but back in the day(most of the days before today) I don't imagine many knew of it, and it looks like a nice place to get cleaned up, or a drink of water.

 

[AlienCraft]

Wow!

 

[ThatsABigOne]

Strid -- Mind blown.

Nuke it from Orbit?

Note to self: Never trust "creeks".

 

[manimal]

maelstrom was as cool as anything I have ever seen

 

[Matthiasa]

That river hacks.
But seriously yeah, I've walked through and jumped over stuff that looks exactly like that.

 

[GagHalfrunt]

Nuke it from Orbit?

It's the only way. It has to be stopped now before it grows more powerful.

 

[911paramedic]

Yeah, just let me fill my water bottle up in this creek over here and we'll be

HAHAHA. nicely done :thumbsup:

The camera crews didn't survive.

 

[Mr. Pedantic]

Someone should drop a camera down the Strid.

<3 Cracked

 

[SAWYER]

That is the first time I have ever been on that site. I clicked the about to get ate by a lion article and it was f'ing horrible. I won't go back

They should take the mannequin with the life jacket they threw into the whirlpool and throw it into the river.

 

[DisgruntledVirus]

They should take the mannequin with the life jacket they threw into the whirlpool and throw it into the river.

Or just use sonar/LIDAR

It's probably not a straight drop. The Yorkshire area is a well-known example of extremely eroded limestone. Millions of years from now, assuming that England continues to get rainfall, it'll probably look like that site in Madagascar at the beginning of the article.

 

[alkemyst]

cracked is a bit stretching the truth in these.
