The reasons for the crash are still unknown.

A Canadair-class firefighting aircraft crashed while fighting a wildfire on the Greek island of Ebway. This is reported by the local TV channel ERT and publishes footage of the crash of the aircraft.


According to information, Canadair crashed in the area of Platanistos in Karystos. Now a helicopter is flying over the crash site to see what happened.

Local media also reported that there were two pilots on board the Greek Canadair CL215 aircraft, one of them only 26 years old. Rescuers and police have already been sent to the crash site.


The Canadair dumped water and then crashed in a hard-to-reach spot, making it difficult for firefighters and police to reach the scene. A very loud explosion was heard. An attempt is being made to contact the two pilots, so far this has not been successful.


No matter how sad it may sound, it is unlikely that it will be possible to contact the pilots. Judging by the video, they died instantly.
