Fire on the Runway: A Tangled Web of Error and Emergency Response The recent crash landing of a Greek F 16 fighter jet at Zakynthos airport has raised questions about the preparedness of emergency responders in Greece and the safety protocols for military aircraft.
The incident occurred just as the summer holiday season was getting underway, with thousands of tourists expected to flock to the island.
The pilot's failure to deploy the landing gear before touching down on the runway is particularly noteworthy.
