About

Φωτεινή Χριστοδουλόπουλου Fotini was a passenger on Helios Airlines Flight 522. She tragically lost her life in the plane's crash, alongside 120 other passengers and crew, alongside her parents and friend, Stefani Hasoula. Their two younger children, aged sixteen and thirteen, were booked to travel with them on the flight, but ended up taking a different flight when the plane was overbooked. They survived. "Helios Airways Flight 522 was a scheduled passenger flight from Larnaca, Cyprus, to Prague, Czech Republic, with a stopover in Athens, Greece. Shortly after take-off on 14 August 2005, air traffic control lost contact with the aircraft; it eventually crashed near Grammatiko, Greece, killing all 121 passengers and crew on board. It is the deadliest aviation accident in Greek history. An investigation into the crash by the Air Accident Investigation and Aviation Safety Board (AAIASB) concluded that the crew had neglected to set the pressurization system to automatic during the take-off checks. This caused the plane not to be pressurized during the flight and resulted in nearly everyone on board suffering from hypoxia (and losing consciousness), thus resulting in a "ghost flight". The negligent nature of the accident led to lawsuits being filed against Helios Airways and Boeing, with the former also being shut down by the government of Cyprus the following year."
