Plane Crash in Greece

(Grammatiko, Greece) At 12:20pm local time (9:20 GMT), a charter Helios Airways flight out of Cyprus crashed north of Athens, killing all 121 people onboard. It's suspected that cabin depressurization caused the pilots to lose consciousness.

The ultimate destination of the flight was Prague and, according to Czech Prime Minister Jiri Paroubek, 80 of the passengers were children returning from a holiday on the Mediterranean island.
