You're welcome. It really was a sad day and I think the whole of Cyprus will be watching.

Just for interest.

On that black day, 0.015125% of the Cyprus population died! If the same percentage of the US population had perished it would have been 43,000 people! And in the UK it would be like 10,000 people dying! If an equivalent diaster happened in China, 200,000 Chineese would have died!

Just goes to show how massive this was for such a small island!!!

it would be nice to think that the authorities will get to the bottom of the accident and then publish the truth.

I read today that the report will be made available in September. I don't think they will try and hide anything. Helios is pretty much dead anyway. The Cyprus mail ran a story today called "The death of an airline". Good riddence!!!

The Documentary, WOW!!! It was brilliantly made by discovery channel! We where glued to the screen for an hour! It was broken into four parts and each part analyzed what might have gone wrong on Helios flight 522. The doc. concluded that the disaster could have been caused by the Staff or a burnt out backup line (people did smell smoke on that flight before).

It also told about the heroic Andreas and Haris who tried to save everyone before the plane ran out of fuel and crashed.
