Damaged rotor blade may be to blame for Greek helicopter crash that killed British newlyweds

A Bell 206 helicopter carrying British newlyweds Alexander Cromie and Marie Ebert crashed on the Greek island of Sifnos, resulting in fatalities. The crash occurred during landing, with witnesses reporting the helicopter spinning out of control and experiencing a tail rotor failure. Investigators suspect the accident may be linked to a prior incident in June when restraining straps were left on the helicopter, potentially causing damage. The helicopter had remained in Paros for three weeks after the June incident and later received an airworthiness certificate. The crash site was heavily damaged by fire, complicating the investigation. Both victims were identified as professionals with notable careers, and their relatives traveled to Athens to formally identify their remains.
