希腊两架灭火直升机相撞致两人死亡，事故原因调查中
8月2日，希腊阿提卡地区两架参与扑救山火的贝尔直升机在空中相撞，造成一名丹麦籍飞行员和一名希腊籍协调员遇难，另一架直升机上的两人幸存。
希腊消防部门通报，当地时间8月2日下午，两架正在雅典以西普萨萨地区执行灭火任务的直升机在空中相撞，导致其中一架直升机坠毁，机上两人死亡。事故发生在希腊正面临多场山林大火、强风阻碍空中作业的背景下。
希腊总理米佐塔基斯在社交媒体声明中确认，遇难者是一名丹麦籍飞行员和一名希腊籍消防联络官。另一架涉事直升机上的两人——一名英国籍飞行员和一名希腊籍协调员——被成功救出，据当地媒体报道仅受轻伤。不过，部分媒体最初曾称遇难飞行员为罗马尼亚籍，官方声明与多数报道均指向丹麦籍，这一细节上的分歧尚未得到统一解释。
现场视频显示，一架直升机的主旋翼撞击了另一架的机腹，导致被撞直升机起火并坠毁，另一架则设法紧急着陆。希腊官方已下令停飞该地区所有参与灭火的贝尔直升机，以待调查。消防部门发言人表示，搜救队伍已立即赶赴现场，事故原因正在调查中，目前不排除人为失误、机械故障或恶劣天气等因素。
事发时，希腊正遭遇强风，风速一度达到每小时100公里，严重限制了空中灭火行动。此次事故使希腊本轮山火中的遇难人数上升至五人，此前已有三名消防员在克里特岛和伯罗奔尼撒半岛的火灾中殉职。目前，相关调查仍在进行，尚无最终结论。
