I’d never be able to shut up about the woman who was murdered there if I was visiting.

In 1997 a woman was killed after being pulled inside the spillway.

Jeeeeeeeeesus!

Found some further info. There’s a little video of the water flowing in too:

That thing is nightmare fuel. If you swim in the vicinity of that you are either suicidal or a fucking idiot.

A glory hole is a glory hole.

I know, that's a horrific way to die knowing the full time that you're dying that you'll forever be tied to a thing colloquially referred to as the glory hole.

Nooooo, the little duck :(

Why isn’t there a safety grate on top to prevent larger objects like wood...or people from being sucked in? risk of clogging?

[–] Warl0k3@lemmy.world 16 points 2 days ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Depressing that it almost never looks like this anymore due to climate change. Last time was a year ago, before that it was six years without the water level hitting spill height.

edit: this is what it looks like most of the time.

I mean yeah I guess.. pretty disappointing that its just a man-made spillway, I got my hopes up that it was some crazy natural phenomenon.

Used to live near a pond with something like this. Not nearly as big, and was square, but could also climb down and see the underside where the water fell down and formed a stream.

Was pretty cool.

I'd classify that as more of a Hell Mouth than a Glory Hole.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 14 points 2 days ago

IDK... It looks like it sucks pretty good, and it's wet. Sounds like a glory hole to me.

[–] 9point6@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

Is there not a large equivalent of a shower drain cover we could put on that thing?

[–] ephrin@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago

Alice is a delight. Highly recommend her Mastodon.

[–] davidagain@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Well Alice, either your husband has a bold sense of humor or he's not a great listener.

[–] StillAlive@piefed.world 4 points 2 days ago

What a lovely supportive wife

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Hello?

Is anyone there!?

I seek GLORY!
