A sombre example of life imitating art. The first version of the novel 'Flight 935 Do You Read' (in which an aircraft comes to grief after the death by hypoxia of all persons on board) was written two decades before the Helios accident. In the original version the flight engineer was (falsely) blamed for the accident. In the final version the pilots are (falsely) blamed.
