Death nozzle in Texas
Standing on a high rock while lying a black hole gaping below; you may not find the courage to just look at the terrible gap below the bottom of you as well as jump to it! Only the people of Texas and the tourists coming to it are the ones who may do this throughout the summer as a favorite weather to relieve the unbearable daytime!
In the state of Texas, as they call it, this is the natural spring known as Jacob's Well. Although it is a well-known tourist destination for thousands each year during the summer to enjoy the beauty of its clear and cold water, everyone knows how to turn the dark, bottomless gap into a deadly trap that kills anyone who ventures to explore what the virtual well is hiding from the eyes.
In keeping with its intimidating appearance to many and the charmer at the same time, the well of Jacob is one of the most dangerous diving places in the world, if not the most dangerous, after having claimed the lives of more than 9 divers so far, other than disappearances and unrecorded death.
Texas is known for its extremely hot weather in summer. Do not forget that Texas is located to the far south, that is, it serves as a level for the United States of America. Let it be that it was once part of Mexico, that is, it shares its semi-tropical wet climate. Thus, the inhabitants flock to the shores of the Atlantic Ocean or to the eyes and streams of fresh water to escape the heat; the well of Jacob is one of the distinctive destinations with its pleasant fresh water, which reaches a temperature of only 20 degrees Celsius during the summer, and with the purity and purity of the water itself.
The virtual fountain diameter on the surface is about 4 meters, landing vertically for about 10 meters, and then continuing to descend obliquely through a series of interconnected rooms that are the entrance to the second longest underwater cave in Texas at a depth of 37 meters and more, as we shall see later. The well of Jacob originates its fresh water from the mysterious aquifer of Trinity Aquifer, whose water flows through the submerged cavern across the well and feeds to the nearby Cypress Creek.
Although the depth of the well itself is large enough to endanger the lives of visitors, the real cause of the nine deaths recorded so far is the depletion of the oxygen cylinders of trained divers and suffocation to death! This may seem strange at first glance, especially with a professional and trained dive into the cave below, which is as deep as 30 meters, which is not so great in the diving world with tools. But the situation is different here with the cave of Jacob's dead well, or rather his deadly caves!
To solve the mystery of the intertwined and intertwined Jacobs Cave, an exploration campaign led by a trained group of professional divers was launched in 2000 in the Jacob's Well Exploration Project- JWEP. After seven full years in 2007, Yacoub. So far, nearly 2 km of underground lanes and caves have been documented! No wonder that some lost their way in those caves when explored without warning, and ended up in the middle of darkness and cold until he met his fate painful and inevitable.
Those who tried diving in the Jacob well caves say that it is not a problem with the first two caves in the long and tangled caverns trail. Only then do things become more dangerous, where any step evokes small whirlpools of dirt and silt that makes vision impossible and frightens many.
"You can not distinguish any direction, you do not know where the top is from the bottom, or where the right is from the left as it crawls on the muddy bottom and the oxygen cylinder hits your back with the low ceiling that puts pressure on your world! Nothing can save you here except your training and your professionalism; Overbearing when we came out of that watery hell below! "
It was one of the divers who took part in the exhumation of one of the sunken victims in a cave in the forgotten Well of Jacob in 2000, according to a lengthy article by Louie Bond, in which he describes the captivating stories of divers in 5 caves below the well with very narrow openings so that divers To snatch a breathing cylinder temporarily to cross it! In fact, one's breath narrows with the imagining of these subterranean submerged underwater places ...
And even on the surface where the well is a beautiful well, it is not without risk, where everyone likes to jump to the heart of the open well from the top of the high rocks overlooking the well, and also to make acrobatic movements in the air before impacting the water of the current through the well. We do not need to say that all of these things are prohibited by law, but YouTube is full of dozens of clips that show how well visitors hit the rules by showing off mass concerts that are documented for the anniversary!
