Default Helios 737 crash video released

On August 14, 2005, a Helios Airways 737 crashed in Greece, killing all 121 people on board. The exact cause of the crash was unknown, but aviation experts speculated that the plane's cabin pressurization system failed early in the flight. It was assumed that everyone on board lost consciousness while the plane continued to fly on autopilot until it ran out of fuel. 2 Flight attendants were still conscious and tried to save the aircraft from crashing. The plane flew the approach did the missed approach and was holding over KEA VOR in Athens until losing both engines and crashing a few kilometers from Athens.

The video from the Greek Fighter pilots has been released, gave me goosebumps ...
