The Gobierno helicopter just flew by; somebody must be lost

[Myrtle Hogan-Lance]

All of this brought to you by the MMM Puerto Santiago reporting team:  @Marion, Myrtle, and our roving reporter, @Michael.

Diddly squat, nada, all over by the time I got down there.

A PR just repeated what Janet had already posted.

[Marion]

So, we're there two rescues? The one that was taken to Adeje and the second one in the ambulance? If only the one in Adeje, why did the ambulance leave with sirens blaring?  It's a bit confusing.

Helicopter just passed over again!

[Myrtle Hogan-Lance]

Yes it did, on its way to Teno this time.

Three cheers for our MMM reporting team.

The waves are breaking over the pool where the people died a few weeks back just like then.  The sea is rough.

[Janet]

There seem to have been two incidents. Just posting the second one now.

Man dies after being swept into sea by wave at Puerto Santiago

A man died around 6.30 this evening after being swept into the sea by a wave at Puerto Santiago. Emergency services say that they dispatched a GES search and rescue helicopter after receiving reports of the accident, and after the victim was winched up to the helicopter he was found to be in cardiac arrest. He was flown to Puerto Santiago football field where resuscitation attempts were continued by paramedics and medical staff from the local health centre but sadly without effect.

You know what, it is seriously rough out there.  The red flags have been out for several days.  I have seen lifeguards remonstrating with people as only they can.  WTF possesses people?

RIP the man who died, sorry it happened to you.

Hell, the seas must be rough up there today!  Poor man.
