O.T. Saw a tidal wave this afternoon

Unfortunatly it was 13,000 gallons of my swimming pool rushing out of a hole in the liner which started out an inch in diameter and QUICKLY opened up to a tear 6 feet long. I would say the entire pool drained in about a minute. Quite spectacular, in a depressing sort of way. How did the hole get there you might ask? My 17 year old son was playing with the handle to the skimmer, esentially a thinwall aluminum tube bobbing it up and down in the water, enjoying the noise the water made as it went up the pipe. Apparently he must have bobbed it too deep the last time (his recolection gets fuzzy about this) because I found it embedded into the bottom of the pool like a spear. Tried to patch it but the rushing water sucked 2 patches right thru the hole. He is not retarded, but sometimes he sure acts like it. Mom was not too impressed either.
