Debris from an emergency service helicopter that apparently crashed
into the sea off Athens' southeastern coast in a gale with five people
on board, including a 75-year-old heart attack victim, were spotted
Monday some six nautical miles off Cape Sounion, rescuers said.
Search and rescue units early Monday resumed a massive operation to
locate the Agusta Bell helicopter of the EKAB national emergency
assistance centre that disappeared from civil aviation radars Sunday
evening as it was flying between the island of Kea and Cape Sounion,
southeast of Athens, while transporting a 75-year-old man who had
suffered a heart attack from the island of Patmos to Athens.
