    Satellites glimpse ultra-powerful “black hole” giant whirlpools in Atlantic

    Satellites have shown two mysterious 'black hole' whirlpools in the South Atlantic ocean - ultra powerful “vortexes” which suck water down into the depths.

    The whirpools - never witnessed before - would suck down ships, debris and even living creatures, moving 1.3 million cubic metres of water per second.

    Two of the black holes - or “maelstroms” - have been sighted in three months by physicists from Zurich and Miami.

    This phenomenon has been observed in the South Atlantic and South-western Indian Ocean, using satellite imagery designed to spot the aquatic equivalent of black hole currents. According to scientists, the maelstroms are prevalent in this area thanks to the southbound Agulhas current in the Indian Ocean.

    As if there wasn't already enough of a reason to avoid cruise ships like the plague. ¬_¬

    I always thought whirlpools that could suck down an entire ship were made from legends! That picture does prove otherwise.
