"Two crew members were killed after two firefighting helicopters collided in midair whilebattling a fast-moving wildfire west of Athens, as Greece continues to grapple with a devastating stretch of blazes fueled by extreme heat and strong winds.
The Bell helicopters crashed over the Psatha area while working to contain the fire. Greek fire officials said each aircraft carried a two-person crew. Emergency responders pulled all four occupants from the wreckage.
A Greek fire service liaison officer and a Danish pilot were killed in the crash. The two survivors, a Greek national and a British national, were injured and taken to a nearby hospital." TP
