That's either intentional or fucking stupid. I'm thinking the latter.

Footage captured of the two helicopters shows the moment before the pair collided, in a crash that caused the death of two crew.

As we've reported, a British pilot and Greek fire service liaison officer survived the collision. Flames and smoke plumes following the crash have also been filmed in the footage below.

@Lemmiwinks Lol. I dunno about that. We've got some police helicopter pilots here in Florida that makes this reckless guy look like a champion.

With the media nowadays you have to read between the lines to get the truth, when they say two crew members have been killed that's their way of saying one was a woman probably DEI bull Dyk :devil:

They had another crash like this not too long ago. The lower helicopter can't see the helicopter below them.

I suspect this is Diversity being the greatest strength of fighting forest fires, in Greece.

"The names of the four crew members have not been publicly released." Hmmm, I wonder what that means?

Also of note, the helicopters were rentals.

A pilot's focus and attention are the most valuable currency when airborne.
