Five crew members died in an emergency drill on a cruise ship in the Canary Islands Sunday.

The accident came as the crew was holding a mock rescue exercise on the Thomson Majesty.

The Thomson Majesty, with five restaurants and two swimming pools, cruises to the Canary Islands, the Mediterranean and the Red Sea.
