The Morning Glory Spillway at Lake Berryessa, aka 'The Glory Hole' | Bartell's Backroads

[@rebapuck5061]

Every time I have seen a picture of that spillway, I immediately wonder how many bodies have been disposed of there.

[@Mrbfgray]

Poor disposal, they'll just float on down stream, may as well toss them in the river, easier.

[@RLstavista]

Probably none... getting there is difficult enough as they have protections and barriers you'd have to get by

[@Jay_Force_One]

Probably zero. Not only is it not easily accessible, but even if you did happen to, the spillway leads out to the bottom of that dam. So the body would just come out and float down the river and probably be spotted fairly easily.

[@johnmckell4362]

Hmmm ...interesting query...Perhaps the bodies would have been found lower down the 'river'.

[@alexconcord3597]

I would ask if there have been incidences of suicides or accidental death passing thru that high pressure waterway?

[@deejayimm]

I totally get it... I just don't understand why they put it right next to the road....lol

[@wahmodijiwah4201]

So that i can have a nice view while driving

[@david109]

probably so its easier for maintenance crews to access

All I can think is that there was a bet at the station to see how many times something "innocently innappropriate" can be said during a broadcast like the "meow" in super troopers. LOL

[@lalylunssporadicchronicles6404]

Did anyone fall in the hole

[@ErickBrown-g3p]

Yes I heard a lady clung to the edge for like 30min or something before falling in and dying

[@HypePerformanceGroup]

Is this where that scene in the newest fast and furious was filmed?

[@razony]

Nope. Don't bye it. That Cormorant bird would have, not made it. The water pressure falling on him and then that abrupt turn...We know.

[@clarisareyes1507]

I was thinking exactly the same thing. Birds have pneumatic bones, which makes them more susceptible to injury.

[@ejhickey]

good video

[@desmondbello4144]

Probably not the best idea to see what people in the UK refer to when we say 'Morning Glory' 😂

[@happycanayjian1582]

What’s so scary about the glory hole? That cormorant would’ve come out the other end in under 30 secs. It’s like one, giant water slide, and there’s still air inside the tunnel. It’s not hard to imagine it would come out the other end unscathed….

[@againandagainau]

Nobody cares. We just want to know where the spillway goes and if we can water slide through it.

[@johnlizzard6530]

Wow hate to get caught up in that! Bet it’s been tried?

[@pennypay1]

Emily Schwalek, in 1997. But she wasn't trying deliberately. That was the only human tragedy. Trespassers have gone rappelling down the spillway in dry seasons.

If you're reading this, you should learn some respect and not forcing your religion on a public forum. I hope you find your god real soon so you can stop spamming comment sections with your Dark Ages paranoia. BTW, GOD IS DEAD. Jesus was Lucifer, otherwise, why was Jesus on earth if not cast out of heaven by god. Put that in your bible and smoke it.

[@Tenshi04Akuma]

If you reading this, you just spent 10 seconds of your life reading a reply under the comments of a unconfirmed claim. Better realize the reality of the present than the hypothetis of the future through religious beliefs. I could also say that Amaterasu doesn't care that you all have different beliefs. Do what you want, as long as it doesn't involve hurting people and their freedom, directly or indirectly. By the way this ain't the place to talk about religious stuff. But I just said that to raise morale instead of doing the opposite. Smile instead of frowning, that's what any responsible god wants from you.
