Olympic spirit on fire

Sun Aug 26, 2007, 7:36 AM
  • Mood: Outraged
  • Watching: The news
I am at a loss. More than half of Greece is burning. In 3 days more than 150 fires were set off. The vast majority of them are considered arson. No one has been arrested, 53 people were burnt alive and more than 10 are still missing.

I have not been able to contact my family in Ancient Olympia and I don't know if they are safe or not. I don't know what's become of our house, our olive and orange groves. A few minutes ago they announced that the ancient monuments as well as mt Kronos are on fire and there is nothing anyone could do, the flames are over 40m high and winds are too strong.

I want the people behind this burnt to death, like the 53 people-so far- who were trapped in fires so strong that the helicopters could not approach. I want them burnt like the approx. 14,500 km² of forests that have been burnt so far. And I want them burnt like the 3000 years worth of history we just lost.

I know, I've been watching closely and what they are making those poor men do is simply beyond their abilities! They haven't even got oxygen masks and they've been there for more than two days now! We all knew our goverment and all the politicians suck, we never could have imagined how much!

Yes, I am safe (I think). There have been fires all around Attica, but none very close to where I am. Yesterday we couldn't breath from the smoke though and the air still smells of burning wood and flesh.

My family in A.Olympia is as safe as they could be right now. We were able to reach them a couple of hours ago. They have no electricity, no water and no phone-lines. 2 people from our village died in the fire though. The fire there has moved on to the next 3 villages and it doesn't seem like it'll stop.

Thanks hun! We got in touch with them a bit earlier. They are all ok, but they don't know what's happened to our houses. I am exhausted! I've been watching tv for the news, which are on all the time, for the past 32 hours and I think it's time to go to bed!

Thank you! My family is safe, thank God, but I don't think the fires will stop anytime soon :(
