BBC
News, "Greek crash 'kills all on board'"
An
investigation has begun into Greece's worst ever air crash,
in which all 121 people on board a Cypriot airliner are feared
to have died.
The jet hit a hill near
Athens after the pilots apparently fell unconscious after a drop in cabin pressure.
Greek F-16 fighter jets
were scrambled when contact with the Helios Airways plane was lost during the
flight between Larnaca in Cyprus and Athens.
A Greek investigator said
one of the plane's black boxes had been recovered.
Akrivos Tsolakis of the
Greek Air Accident Investigating Committee told BBC World TV that the flight
data recorder had been found but they were still looking for the cockpit voice
recorder.
The Boeing 737 plane,
carrying 115 passengers and six crew, came down at 1220 local time (0920 GMT).
An airline official said most of the passengers were Cypriot, including some
48 youngsters on a trip to Prague, where the plane was due to fly after a stopover
in Athens.
Lieff Cabraser is investigating
this crash.
