Tragedy strikes Greece! Wildfires taking lifes and destroying monuments.

When I turned on the news this morning I saw Greece on fire! At time of this writing at least 57 people were killed in the blaze. Not only that but historical sites (nearly 2800 years old!) are destroyed or are in danger! So far the police has arrested 2 men involved with the fires, it could have been arson but nothing is for sure yet. In my opinion it’s arson! The Greek law prohibits construction in forest areas, so people burn in down in order to claim it’s not a forest anymore and say it’s clear for construction. However, the idiot that set this fire probably never thought of the consequences that came along with his ‘brilliant’ plan. Rescue and fire helicopters are trying to detain the site.
A prosecutor is currently investigating if the fire in the 64,000 acre Mount Parnitha National Park was in the plans for development after a dangerous device was found on the site. A big mess, all of it, but all the historical value that went up in flames just seems unreal to me! That’s an historic peace of humanity that can never be brought back, not by any amount of money. Hopefully the fire will be under control soon and they will catch the people responsible for this!
