Greek Firefighting Helicopters Collide in Mid Air, Four Crew Members Missing The mid air collision between two firefighting helicopters in Greece has left four crew members missing and serves as a stark reminder of the unrelenting fury of wildfires that have ravaged Europe this summer.
The Psatha area near Athens, where the tragedy unfolded, was already ablaze with fires that had destroyed over 100 homes and forced evacuations across the country.
The sheer scale of the conflagration is a testament to the region's inability to cope with increasingly frequent and intense heatwaves.
