A rogue wave swept several people into the ocean at a popular tourist destination in Spain, killing three people and injuring three others. Tourists at a natural pool in the Los Gigantes cliffs on the Spanish island of Tenerife were knocked into the water Sunday afternoon after they were “surprised by a wave,” the Emergency and Rescue Group of the Government of the Canary Islands (GES) said. Emergency responders said three people died at the scene, including one whose body was recovered from the water. They were identified as a 35-year-old man, a 55-year-old woman, and a man whose age is unknown. Three additional people were rescued. A 39-year-old woman was taken to a local hospital, while another woman in cardiac arrest was rushed to the pier, resuscitated, stabilized, and then flown by helicopter to a separate hospital. Authorities have not released the names of the victims.
