I dont think its really a river more like a puddle now its been drying up so much
Went fishing in it one time here in Tennessee an entire tree came up out of the water like it had been planted but was a full size tree then got sucked back under,our boat got caught in a whirlpool spinning us around lost a few family members to that river it’s something you better respect because when it’s got you that’s it.
At the shoreline The current is nojoke It’s deeper than the gulf of Mexico but they say the Hudson River is the deepest River in the USA
Here in Memphis the Mississippi River looks scary to me so yea i try to stay as far from it as possible 💯💯💯💯
Because there are a lot of black communities and souls of inslaved people trapped in the water….Speak Ancestors Speak🎉
It is very dangerous whirlpools that take you under live a few miles away never touch the water play on dikes and sandbars the water is nasty.
In the Mississippi River where we threw them choppas
Oh great just my luck next month I’m headed for Thomson Federal Prison in Thomson Illinois and guess what’s less than 100 feet away? The freaking Mississippi River! I hope it doesn’t flood in Thomson.

I live in Minnesota right by the Mississippi river and its running fast right now. The currents are unreal.
They forgot to mention all those syringes floating within.
What kind of stupid question is that look at the river.. Have you ever seen that water smash and under those pilots doing like 30 miles an hour… It’s intimidating I’ll be thinking about 50′ boats getting smashed against those pile ons like they’re nothing
If it drags you into trees and what not you have the full weight of that water pin you in between that stuff and then you’re trying to get out and it shoves you under.. Then you flip out of it just to get hung up and more sticks and trees
If your from la then you know not to play with her
Because they keep trying to change it
And I live on this River in Wisconsin, as well as work on boats for a living. Fun fun
The River is dangerous. The ocean is dangerous. Every child should be drown-proofed before the age of10. Preferably earlier. Panic is what kills people in the water. All due respect to the River.
Funny what difference a few months can make. Almost no Mississippi River now.
Send this water to southern California and Nevada just like Colorado the great American pipeline for water
I would never take the kids to go swim in the Mississippi river ever..
My father told me in the 1930’s there was a crippled woman who would get tourists to put up money to watch her swim the river. He said that’s how she earned money.
I’m scared to swim in the River thanks for making this video
Factors. This lady on the left. She will live a full life. God bless her with NOT JUST BEAUTY, BEING VERY ARTICULATE, & OOZING WITH COMMON SENSE.

It’s like you have to explain things in a stupid way for some Americans can understand.
Excellent Commentary…and YeSss…I won’t go swimminG in this river Ever!!!✌😎
Lots and lots of concrete with sharp and rusty rebar sticking out everywhere in that river. Giant Blue cats and flatheads to give you a bump and creep you out. Backwater pools full of big moss-covered snapping turtles. Upper Mississippi not as creepy but really not good swimming water.
200 years ago James Eads walked the bottom of the Mississippi using a diving bell that he made. He is the g.o.a.t. of the Mississippi river.
There are some cool videos about James Eads here on YouTube.
One of the most impressive human beings in history
The true Nile River.
A good example of how restricting the water flow, increasing the power of the water, is the California aqueduct. This is how, with no help, only design of the pipe sizing in the right spot, it’s able to reach LA up and over the mountains.
Every river that meanders is dangerous. the Mississippi is most dangerous because of its size. Don’t be fooled. Rivers like the South Saskatchewan, where I live, claim people every year. lakes and pools are for swimming. Rivers are okay for canoes and kayaks. But, even experts have the required safety equipment.
That’s one strong sister in New Orleans!
What did they just say?
And?
Because Idiots are Dumb.
Anyone who questions whether the river is dangerous or not only needs to go see the river on its lower course…The river will provide your answer right away.
Water is more powerful than most of us realize, but it’s not some super predator out to get you. Enjoy the river smartly and your risk goes way down.
32 states drain into Louisiana Sewage from 32 states OMG yup I’m done with seafood 😆🤣
The Mississippi River has seen a lot of tragedies.
I know when I was around a river like that my dad said do not fight the current the undercurrent will suck you under flow with the current and kind of go to the side and get to the bank as quick as possible. I have heard of under-watered welders going in the Mississippi River one time and telling their boss I quit give me my paycheck I’m not going down there again. Catfish that are so big could almost swallow a human whole. Don’t know if it’s true but too many men I’ve come back up from under the water and said I’m not going down there you cannot pay me enough to go back down there.
was that low when army drained it 2 years ago not 10
Mississippi is my home. I’ve crossed the Mississippi River Bridge several times. Never thought about swimming in it 🤔
Now it’s drying up
guess i’m cancelling my vacation plans to swim in the mississippi river
It flows too fast! The bridge on i20 in Louisiana is scary
Because the European white eye is stupid and greedy. Never learned from ok m native American how to live with the environment
Very interesting and good, Alexandra …!!! 😎👍✅
