I think it was on Monday 17th
EMS helicopter carrying a patient from the island of Anafi in the Aegean (about 100 miles south east of Athens) went down before dawn near the base of a towering mountain. The reason for the crash was not immediately known.
Besides the patient, two pilots and two medical personnel were on the helicopter. Many small islands around Greece depend on the helicopter ambulances, which normally ferry patients to hospitals in Athens and other cities.
It was the second fatal crash in Greece's medical helicopter fleet in two years.
Condolences to family and friends of the crew and passengers.
