Plane crash pilot 'may have fallen ill'
A jet with 115 passengers and six crew members on board crashed today north of Athens, the country’s defence ministry said, and it was not clear if the pilots were conscious or at the controls when it went down.
The Cypriot Helios Airways plane crashed at about 9.20am near the coastal town of Grammatikos, about 25 miles north of Athens. Eyewitnesses told an Athens radio station the plane was being followed by fighter jets when it went down.
