Men in Dviete, Latvia, close to the banks of the Daugava River, found what looked like a small whirlpool. This vortex churns and destroys all that enters its path. It seems that it has been formed by water from the swollen river flowing into an inlet on the upstream side of a bridge.

Most of the time, whirlpools happen if fast moving currents meet one another in opposite directions. What we see in the video looks more like a draining bathtub.
