But this guy just broke that typical thinking! Join him as he films his incredible yet dangerous way into an ocean whirlpool.
According to reports, Jacob Cockle, the 28 years old photographer who was really interested in whirlpools, died after trying to take "one more photo" of the phenomenon in famous whirlpools at Carnsew Pool in the Hayle Estuary, Cornwall harbor. According to the local police, this place was notorious for the swirling currents.
He was unfortunately sucked into the whirlpool’s vortex when he tried to swim nearer to snap his final shots.
