Two die as firefighting helicopters collide in Greece, French blaze changes course

Two people died when two firefighting helicopters collided in the Greek region of Attica during a wildfire crisis. The incident occurred in Psatha, where video footage showed the helicopters colliding mid-air, leading to the crash of one aircraft. The fire service confirmed the deaths of a Greek and a Danish national, while the other crew members survived. Investigations suggest the fire originated from sparks caused by electrical conductors linked to wind turbine networks. Meanwhile, wildfires in France shifted course due to changing wind patterns, complicating containment efforts. Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis acknowledged the overwhelming challenge posed by extreme weather conditions, emphasizing the limitations of human preparedness against natural disasters.
