Cypriot plane with 121 passengers crashes in Greece
2005-08-14
A Cypriot passenger airliner carrying at least 121 people has crashed north-east of Athens.

The plane - from Helios Airways - hit a mountain as it approached Athens after one pilot was seen slumped in his seat and the other could not be seen.

An air traffic controller at Athens airport told the AFP news agency the plane, travelling from Larnaca, Cyprus, crashed into the Euboea peninsula.

The crash was reported by F-16 pilots sent to aid the struggling plane.

A spokesman for the Greek army chief of staff said the possibility of a hijacking could not immediately be ruled out.
