LONGJING, CHINA — A Chinese water park went off the deep end when its "tsunami pool" did just that—it sent a huge artificial wave through one pool while it was packed with unsuspecting swimmers. <br />Video footage shared on Chinese Twitter knockoff Weibo shows a whole mess of people tubing in a packed wave pool at the Yulong Shuiyun Water Park in Longjing. <br />According to CNN, the day was going along swimmingly, when a massive 10-foot-tall artificial wave is seen barreling through the pool, swallowing up every unlucky person in its path.<br />According to a statement from Longjing city officials, a total of 44 people were injured in the little mishap. <br />Officials said in the statement that the city emergency department, the cultural and tourism department, and market regulators have launched a joint investigation into the artificial tsunami. <br />Apparently, the wave machine control room's power box had some slight issues. <br />A water park spokesman had originally said the pool would be back in business the next day, but local officials pulled the plug on that idea. <br />According to the park's website, Yulong claims to be the largest water park of its kind in Jilin province, with a tidal rafting river, Ferris wheel and spa pools. <br />Guess now they can add an ACTUAL tsunami pool to that list as well.
