Farewell text sent moments before plane crash kills 121
The only piece of Helios Airways flight ZU522 that remained intact was the tail section of the jet and debris was strewn in a chasm and surrounding hills. Bodies, clothing, and luggage were scattered around the wreckage, which triggered brush fires.
Sotiris Voutas, a cousin of one of the passengers on the plane, said that he received a text message from him: “He told me the pilots were unconscious ... he said: ‘Farewell, cousin, here we’re frozen.’”
