Greek F-4 Phantom fighter jet crashes during air show near Athens

A Greek F-4 Phantom fighter jet crashed during an air show at Tanagra Air Base near Athens, according to Greece’s public broadcaster ERT. Reports from the scene said the aircraft began losing altitude suddenly before hitting the ground, and an explosion was reported shortly after the crash. No details were immediately available on whether the two pilots ejected, and parachutes were reportedly not found at the crash site. The fate of the crew therefore remains unknown. After the incident, two helicopters were deployed to help extinguish a fire that followed the crash.
