The students were extras during the shooting of a popular television show being shot in Hainan, Southern China.
There were 120 local middle school students in shallow water as camera crews were preparing to film a scene from a popular television program.
That's when a massive wave rolled in and swamped the students.Out of 120, 90 were swept out to sea, one died, two were never found.
When local news crews tried to get to the school, guards locked the gates. A man claiming to be the dean of the school would only say he didn't know what happened.
