Aviation experts have warned that flight safety is being jeopardised by "overzealous" criminal investigation and prosecution of pilots and other officials after accidents. The warning comes on the eve of a trial in which four airline officials, including two Britons, face manslaughter charges after an airliner crash in Greece which killed 121 people.
Helios Airways Flight ZU 522 from Larnaca to Prague smashed into a hillside near Athens in August 2005. Air crash investigators in Greece concluded the plane crashed after its crew and passengers were rendered unconscious, starved of oxygen by a drop in cabin pressure.
