Shocking images recorded at the video of the zougla.gr and exclusively captures the last few seconds before and after the fall of the helicopter (AH-64D) of Army Aviation in Vrasna beach (bay Korfanou) in Thessaloniki.

Under unclear circumstances so far, while the Apache is running low flight over homes and beach bathers falls violently sea. One operator was able to extricate himself in time, but the left unharmed with the help of colleagues.

According to zougla.gr information, the commander of the helicopter bearing the rank of major and the co-pilot the rank of captain. Both are experienced pilots with many hours of flight (night, week, etc.). The Apache belongs to the 2nd Battalion attack helicopters of the 1st Army Aviation Brigade.
