Yeah, I don't know. It seems like someone should have done that a long time ago!

I am pretty sure it had been done before but I think what makes this video different is that it was done using a very expensive, high speed HD camera. This then resulted in the researchers getting a good shot of the interesting underwater vortices which are pretty cool! yes.gif
