A four-man sailing crew suffering from injuries and near hypothermia was rescued by the U.S. Coast Guard after a “rogue wave” in the Atlantic Ocean thrashed and tossed about their 39-foot sailboat.

Images of the incident show a Coast Guard rescue team hoisting the stranded boaters into a helicopter over rough waters about 100 miles south of Montauk, Long Island, on May 8.
