''Big wave drag's US couple, drowns husband at Cabo beach''


LOS CABOS, Mexico (AP) — Authorities in Mexico say a giant wave has dragged off a U.S. couple walking on a Baja California beach, drowning the 72-year-old husband and injuring his 66-year-old wife.

Prosecutors say a navy boat found Ted Park's body two hours later in the ocean 800 yards from the spot where the wave hit the couple. The statement says Park's wife Shinae suffered respiratory problems after Wednesday's accident in Los Cabos.

so very sad,

I remember many years ago, I was camping at Estero beach in Ensenada, it went some thing like this also, the man got carried out to sea, I will always remember the wife just looking out to sea with a blank stare, other campers called the Bombeiros, but of course nothing could be done, never did find him, other campers pitched in and got her back home,
so very sad
