Greece Wildfire Tragedy: 2 Dead After Firefighting Helicopters Crash Mid-Air

Описание: A tragic accident has struck Greece's wildfire response efforts after two firefighting helicopters collided mid-air while battling a massive blaze in the Attica region, killing two people and injuring two others.

The crash occurred near Psatha, northwest of Athens, during aerial firefighting operations. Authorities confirmed that a Greek national and a Danish national lost their lives, while two others survived the collision.

The helicopters were supporting efforts to contain a fast-moving wildfire that has already destroyed more than 100 homes. Emergency crews rushed to the crash site as firefighters continued battling the flames on the ground and from the air.

Videos circulating on social media appear to show the two helicopters flying at low altitude before colliding. Preliminary visuals suggest the main rotor of one helicopter struck the underside of the other, though officials have launched a formal investigation to determine the exact cause.

The incident comes amid a severe wildfire season in Greece, where aerial firefighting has become critical to protecting communities from rapidly spreading fires.
