A 22-year-old man was fatally injured in a helicopter accident on Monday at a heliport in the Spata township, near the Athens International Airport, east of the Greek capital.
According to initial reports, the helicopter’s tail blade fatally struck one of four UK tourists, who had leased the aircraft. The circumstances surrounding the incident are still sketchy, although the first assessment is that passengers or the aircraft’s pilots failed to follow safety protocol upon landing.
