More than ten people were injured at Sharks Cove in Hawaii when a 10-foot wave hit the tide pool.

Eleven people are seriously hurt after a flight from Phoenix to Honolulu encountered severe turbulence shortly before landing. Passengers say unrestrained people and objects went flying during the Hawaiian Airlines flight. More than ten people were injured at Sharks Cove on Oahu's North Shore when a 10-foot wave hit the tide pool – one of the island's most popular spots for diving and snorkeling – according to the Honolulu Emergency Services Department.

The incident happened on Thursday afternoon when Ocean Safety was patrolling the area by jet ski, according to Shayne Enright, spokesperson for the agency. The wave caught people"off-guard" as it washed over the rocky ledge that shelters the tide pool, dragging some out to sea and others into rocks. A 12-year-old girl and her mother were swept out to sea and rescued by lifeguards. They were brought to shore at nearby Waimea Bay.
