Claim: Video of a giant whirlpool formed inside a river.
Fact-check: Video of a man-made spillway in the Lake Berryessa reservoir is shared as visuals of a giant natural whirlpool - FACTLY
Verdict: the video shared in the post shows the giant 'glory hole', a man-made spillway constructed inside the lake berryessa in california. the spillway was constructed to drain the excess water in the reservoir during an overflow. the video does not show a natural whirlpool. hence, the claim made in the post is misleading.
