The chilling words of a fighter pilot who witnessed a plane crash into the mountainside have resurfaced online.
In August, 2005, Greece was devastated when Helios Airways Flight 522 crashed into a mountainside just north of Athens – killing 115 passengers and six crew members onboard.
The plane had departed from Larnaca in Cyprus just after 9am on 14 August and was destined for Prague, via a quick stopover in Athens.
However ground crew in the Greek capital would be left baffled after their radio calls to Flight 522 went unanswered. The aircraft was last heard from shortly after departing Larnaca airport when the pilots reported an air conditioning warning to ground staff.
