Remembrance

It has been a year since the mysterious crash of the Helios flight in Grammatiko. Memorial services were held all over Greece and Cyprus today, in remembrance of the 121 dead.

Many questions about the crash still remain unanswered, and many bones, hopefully belonging to three missing people from the crash, have been found lately on the site of the accident. An official report on the incident is due early in September, but it is said to lay blame on the pilots and engineer for failing to turn the air conditioning switch from manual to auto when testing the system. It is scary how most plane crashes come down to one seemingly tiny mistake.

My thoughts are with the countless family and friends today as they remember their lost loved ones.
