A Cypriot airliner crashed into a hill north of Athens on Sunday, killing all 121 people on board. Reports said at least one of the pilots was unconscious when the plane went down, possibly from lack of oxygen in the cabin.

The Helios Airways flight HCY 522 was headed from Larnaca, Cyprus, to Athens International Airport when it crashed at 12:20 p.m. near the town of Grammatiko, about 40 kilometres north of the Greek capital, leaving flaming debris and luggage strewn across a ravine and surrounding hills.

The Boeing 737, carrying 115 passengers and six crew, was to have flown on to Prague, Czech Republic, after stopping in Athens.

The cause of the crash was unclear, but early indications were that it was a technical problem - possibly decompression - and not terrorism. The plane's black boxes, which contain flight data and voice recordings, were recovered at the scene, state-run NET television reported.

Certainly a tragedy. The bad part is that I cant get a reply from one of my Greek friends. Hope he on a vacation or something.
