In England. Sort of like a small flooded slot canyon: it has a 100% kill if you fall in the narrow section.

The one short shot of that highly aerated water is where more emphasis should have been placed. Lots of people float in water. Everyone sinks in air.

Fall in, sink in aeration, get maytagged forever and ever down below...

Same thing can and does happen when offshore drilling rigs have an underwater 'blow-out'. Boats have sunk trying to back up to the platform to rescue rig workers.

Interesting video. I clicked on it thinking you’d misspelled Styx. The river that separates the living from the dead.
The aerated water having less buoyancy makes sense . I believe that what causes sinking ship to drag down swimmers when they go down.

Same thing if you fall into the aeration tank at your local sewage treatment plant. Big as a public swimming pool but much deeper.

I think it's just pure suction when a large ship sinks. They try to teach recruits to be drown-proof in Navy boot, and they tell you if you ever have to abandon ship, get as far away from it as you can because it'll suck you down right behind it when it goes down.


Don't be the darkness.

America will perish while those who should be standing guard are satisfying their lusts.

"Russia sucks."
---- Me, US Army (retired) 12B & 51B

Russian Admiral said, after the Moskva sank, "we have the world's worst navy but we aren't as bad as our army".
