F16's scrambled for crashed airliner
F16s (greek presumably) were scrambled to intercept a 737 flying from Cyprus to Prauge. The F16 pilots reported seeing the co-pilot slumped over the controls and the captain missing from the flight deck,they also reported seeing drop down oxy masks in the cabin. Aircraft crashed a littlewhile later 5 miles from Athens. My sympathies to the Families involved.

Does anyone know what actually brought the plane down?
It was obviously on autopilot since it was flying for some time after being intercepted!
It obviously had enough fuel to get towards its destination of athens.
It was reported by the intercepting aircraft that no-one was at the controls( with the aircraft heading towards the nations capitol city)
Without trying to start some sort of conspiracy theory, is it possible that the greek F 16's may have had some involvement?

Ecce Homo! Loquitur...
Local reports had them flying formation with it until just a few seconds before impact. Looks like it just flew the missed approach hold till it ran out of fuel then just glided down till it crashed.
