People, I mean a whirlpool in NATURE.

You can get them whenever there's a strong current, like a river, tidal current or water flowing out of a dam. The strongest whirlpools I've ever seen in the ocean are between D'Urville Island and the South Island of NZ when the tide is flowing. A few years back, several scuba divers were sucked down nearly 200 feet underwater there, and died of the bends or drowning.

It is caused I think by the air pressure and water current. Go to the Philippines. Some public school in here have actual simulation of how it occurs. They do it in a big glass tube. it's nice to see.
