You can actually see that the right wing hits a group of trees and a float is seen to be torn from the wing.
Crew did not survive, RIP!

I used to be an optimist but with age I am now a grumpy old pessimist.

Sad loss for their family and colleagues. This seems to be a nearly annual occurrence in Greece. Extremely tough flying conditions, but from a safety point of view, one has to wonder if it's worth the risk because these are nominally competent pilots and yet they keep crashing.
