A320cap 0 Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE??? WHY DO THEY WANT TO BURN THE FORESTS IN ATHENS?? Just 20 minutes before, there was a very big fire approx. 200m from my house! Hopefully, the planes took off very quickly and arrived here just in time. There were 4 CL415 and 2 helicopters. The firefighters on the ground did absolutely nothing!! Thank-God the fire is now under-control. A difficult night awaits........ since the planes cannot fly then. Here are some shots that I took (videos will come soon, the canadairs flew just above my house!): guP6CzLnopk --------------------------------------------------------------------- OLD POST: Took these shots from my balcony: The fire lies in Imittos LAST YEAR HAPPENED EXACTLY THE SAME!
