The dramatic seconds from the fatal crash to the crash of Canadair at Platanistos Karystos are described by a local resident who saw the plane fall in flames. Mr. Spyros Georgiou followed the aircraft flying to the scene to extinguish a small outbreak so that there would be no re-ignition. He says the plane made a dangerous roll, and just a few seconds later heard an explosion from its crash. The video shows a helicopter spraying water on the burning wreckage of Canadair.
The Canadair plane crashed into the gorge. The transport belongs to the Hellenic Air Force. Two pilots helped put out a fire near the village of Platanistos. They crashed while landing in a hard-to-reach place. Soldiers went to the crash site.
In the footage of the video, you can see how the plane sprays water over the flames. After that, he turns right and disappears over the hill. A few seconds later, a powerful explosion is heard there, and subsequently a large column of smoke appears.
