Choppers collide, killing 2, as fires and foreboding grip Greece

A tragic helicopter collision during wildfire efforts in Greece resulted in the deaths of two firefighters, a Greek and a Danish national, while another Greek and a British firefighter survived. The incident occurred as Greece faced multiple wildfires fueled by extreme wind conditions reaching 130 km/h. The crash happened west of Athens, where flames had already claimed three lives earlier in the week. Firefighters are struggling against rapidly spreading fires in regions including Attica, the Peloponnese, and Cephalonia, with over 2,500 residents evacuated. Officials warn that fires continue to flare up despite containment efforts, highlighting ongoing challenges in managing the crisis amid worsening weather conditions.
