Killed when firefighting helicopters collide in Greece

Two Greek firefighting helicopters collided in midair on Sunday while battling a wind-driven wildfire west of Athens, sending one aircraft to the ground, according to footage. Two crew members died in the crash: one Greek and one Danish national. Two others were recovered alive, including one Greek and one British national. The collision underscored the risks on the most volatile front of Europe’s wildfire emergency as strong winds pushed flames deeper around the Greek capital and forced fresh evacuations. Reports said France was guarding a still-burning burned area four times the size of Paris, while Spain’s major fires had stopped advancing.
