Two crew killed as pilot survives after firefighting helicopters collide

Two crew members died after two helicopters collided while fighting wildfires in Greece. The casualties included a Danish pilot and a Greek fire service liaison officer. A British pilot and another Greek coordinator aboard the second helicopter survived with minor injuries and were hospitalized. Video footage captured the moment one helicopter hit the other, causing flames and a crash.

Greece's Prime Minister expressed "deepest sorrow" for the tragedy. All Bell helicopters in the country have been grounded. Wildfires have prompted mass evacuations, with 500 firefighters working to control blazes across the region.
