Massive ‘water tornado’ sends ball rocketing hundreds of feet in air

Who knew something as fairly unimpressive as a leap off of a dock could lead to something so astonishing?

A video speeding its way around the internet has people in awe and discussing physics as they watch a man jump into the water with a rugby ball in hands.

As he sinks under the waves, the ball shoots skyward like a cannonball, hundreds of feet into the air.

While some are having fun talking about the "why" of such a phenomenon, the rest of us just enjoy hitting the "replay" button and watching that ball bolt into the sky over and over.
