Pilots Water Bomb Wildfires in Greece Through Thick Smoke

Dramatic eyewitness footage captured three firefighting planes flying through thick smoke as they water bombed wildfires burning in western Greece on August 10.

This footage by Vasiliki Samouridi shows smoke billowing from tall flames in northwest Arcadia. One plane emerges from the thick plume followed closely by a second and a third.

Multiple evacuation orders were issued for the region. Credit: Vasiliki Samouridi via Storyful
