Aegean Safety Tragedy: A 17-year-old Irish student died on Kimolos after an apparent electrocution linked to faulty wiring in a rental bathroom; investigators are still reviewing the property’s electrical setup. Aviation Incident: Separate from Greece’s fires, a US NTSB preliminary report says a Ryanair Boeing 737 incident after takeoff from Thessaloniki involved a fan blade failure that shattered a window and nearly sucked a passenger out; bird remains were found in the engine. Sports: Four Greek swimmers advanced to European Championship finals in Paris, including Apostolos Christou and Anna Ntountounaki.
