A helicopter has crashed into the sea off the coast of the Saronic island of Poros, reports said Tuesday, according to ekathimerini.com.
Based on Greece’s state-run Athens-Macedonia news agency, the helicopter said to be a privately-owned aircraft, tangled in power lines before plummeting into the water.
After hours of extensive searching, divers found three bodies, which are thought to belong to the two Russian passengers and the Greek pilot of the helicopter.
A team of Coast Guard divers, six Coast Guard vessels and a Hellenic Air Force Super Puma helicopter were participating in the rescue effort.
The island has reportedly been left without electricity following the accident.
