Fresh from showing you the unbelievable hell of the commute from one Chinese subway stop, Beijing Cream has posted another video featuring thousands of poor people crushed together — this time in a swimming pool.

The video below was first posted to Youku a couple of weeks ago, and in that time has garnered over 850,000 views. (Warning: you have to watch till the end to see the wave machine start. The tension is unbearable).

The pool in question is a saltwater facility known as "China's Dead Sea" and located in Daying county, Sichuan province. According to Xinhua news agency, more than 15,000 tourists swam in the pool on a recent Sunday, and the pool has seen over a million visitors in a summer season before.
