Darwin's theory in action

Fox News has the story via the AP:

Three men drowned Thursday after being swept to sea by a rogue wave while watching the surf from a rocky outcropping along California's Central Coast. Two other men were pulled from the water and survived, said Captain Bruce Norris from the Ventura County sheriff's department. The bodies of the drowned men were also recovered, he said.
The victims were a 17-year-old boy, a 21-year-old man, and a 19-year-old man. Another 17-year-old boy and a 27-year-old man survived, he said. The names of the dead were not immediately released and it wasn't clear if they were related.
The accident happened just before 2 p.m. at Mugu Rock, a rocky outcropping that's locally famous and has appeared in the background of many TV shows, movies and car commercials. The rocks at Point Mugu, about five miles west of the Los Angeles County line, draw fishers and hikers. The area is a frequent scene of tragedy, with numerous drownings and injuries from debris falling from the crumbling shale cliffs.
