Flying a drone into the Lake Berryessa spillway 

That freaks me out for some reason.

This is beautiful and yet..it gives me great anxiety to watch. Lol

Drop a go pro insdie

I tried to see this video through one of those "turn a one page article into a 45 page advert" websites that was making it seem like it was a complete mystery why the hole was there, and I'm not at all surprised that it's an actual function of the dam.

I'm a local from this lake. We all call this the "Glory Hole" it is the over flow for the dam when full. It empty's through the bottom of the dam, it's called the "Shower Head". Super nice lake before they closed all the camp sites and removed all the trailer sites.

Need to put a water proof tracking device in the spill hole and see were it go's.

It looks like some kind of crazy portal !

To anyone that believes that you could jump in to this and emerge unscathed this is what would really happen. You would slam into the concrete at the bottom of the 200ft drop which is like jumping of a 4 story building straight into concrete head first. If that didn’t kill you water pressure would hundreds of thousands gallons of water pour down that spillway every second and if you somehow survive that there is a hydraulic or recirculating current that would pull you under and hold you under water until you were pulled out. There is no chance of surviving one of these

Great video, I live in the area and have been to berryessa and putah creek many many times. Most people don't realize that the glory hole exits the dam below, you can't see it from the road side. Back in the 70s we would hike up the creek and into the tube all the way up to the 90* turn and look straight up from under the dam pretty cool but obviously off limits these days.

Remember that someone died in there in 1997

What a beautiful scenery. I first noticed things like this at one of the rafting rides at the great escape. It was really small. Only a few feet in diameter.

Very cool video. Thanks for posting and have a nice day too.

Man, you lose the drone into that, and it is GONE! Really interesting video. Thanks!

Hello sir!May I use a small part of your video into a short film I'm planning to make?

Nice flying!

Knowing that'd be the last thing you'd see if you fell in is really unsettling.

(Not that I’d imagine it’s allowed or happens) but if you were free swimming and then the dam opened that drain a few hundred yards from you, I wonder if that current would be escapable

Imagine just swimming and then this popped up

Fun to raft or free swim

Visited there today and now the shot at 1:14 feels so satisfying for me 😁

The ultimate water slide! You go first bud. I’ll go over here and get a picture when you come out.

*The* *shortcut* *to* *Area* *51*

Imagine falling into one of these 💀

The hole freaks me xd

This is the video I was looking for

Holy giant sphincter Batman!

Nice video

Spooky as heck!

any chance of survival in there ?

1:01 I wonder why just that one side is uneven on the spillway lip. Did they design a slightly lower slide of sorts on one side to let a trickle get over even if the water isn't high enough to go over the full lip yet? That would allow a little more water flow on top of the regular water going over, which may be why it sticks out with a little more water and force than the rest of it.

What a sick shot

Airport toilets when you lean 0.0001 inches forward:

Marvellous engineering and Ingenuity

This is one of my multiple phobias. That I’m going to call into a huge hole like this and die

How many ducks, fish, etc get sucked down this hole every year?? I don’t think anything would survive that. A heck of a waterslide! Hold your breath if you do…

I'm so curious to see what's down there

This is making me anxious af..

Imagine if they shut off the spill way the second the drone got in😂

I always wondered, what happens if you fall down the hole?

Expected more.. but the vacuum around that hole prevents it too close your drone is gone in an instant

can't believe it's already been 7 years

Nice view with sunkhole of a song

assuming the water goes down and out through the other exit next to the dam

Nice I was there just a few days ago.

The Mario warp pipe they don't want you to know about

hmmm now if this was at the bottom of the ocean this would be generating some real deal holyfield electricity o.O

How deep is that hole

Witch drone you use to make this video?

Makes me think of the start of Dr Who.

If somehow your boat got sucked down would you survive and we’re does it lead too?

Go in it's just a fun ride

How does the lake stay full enough at all times? Why doesn’t it completely drain the lake? Where does the extra water to keep it level come from? If at any point you get in the lake will you eventually be drawn into the hole? So do they have precautions to make sure no one can accidentally fall in!? - gonna go and yt someone jumping in the lake

Can you kayak into this hole?

Does that look like its going *into* the hole?

The water is so satisfying

The water looks like pea soup!

Wheres the water go?

Dya think someone could survive going down there?

Fact: now in 2021 there is about more than 3 whirl pools in berry now

That is crazy.

Imagine falling into that

Dayum, I thought it was gonna be flown in and then let get swallowed up. Well was just hoping that would happen.

Would that be survivable if you went through it?

Were does the water go???

Wonder how many fish accidentally get sucked into that thing

I want to dive in so bad.I know I would die but still

The water colour reminds me of my morning juice

Wow in 4 years and now we are down 30 % compacity we need mother nature now before there's no more water in these reservoir and dams to spill out to rivers to support our water supply.

For those who are interested - Techrax made a video where he dropped an iPhone down the hole with a super-strong case

Never divide by 0.

why did that put that so close the road.

cool stuff that gives anxiety

Music?

Buenísimo las imágenes

Is it true that a man actually fell down it I heard about it before

Where does that water go?

Best hole ever

It's a spillway! It should have guard rails but it doesn't

👍👍

Should drop a go pro down that thing and see if it’s makes it!

A giant's best friend.

Omg that’s big

Not much scares me........That was terrifying.

Someone tell them there is a giant hole at the top. That just doesn't look right lol

My anxiety!!!!

When u get in there,there is no way out 😁

This water looks like green tea

ahh look at this crystal clear blue water

Why is the water that color

Satisfing

Tfw you forget to charge the drone

Imagine falling down

I think you'd survive. it's like a water slide. itll launch you very fast

If you fell in you would come out of a drain somewhere

Someone tried click baiting this on snap 🙄 and I mean they claimed it was something else and you’d click a link and it’d pop up with a lot of adds and shit on a website

This is so scary hole!!!

0:55

I don’t get it.

I saw smiler kind of hole in ph 😳

All I wanted was to see what’s inside
