Observer: Diary find could solve Greek air crash mystery
"A diary found at the scene of a Cypriot airliner crash outside Athens could provide clues to one of the most perplexing disasters in aviation history, it has emerged.

Crash investigators will study the diary of the plane's co-pilot, Pambos Charalambous, who secretly chronicled his concerns about technical problems with the doomed Helios Airways Boeing 737, which plunged into a mountain a fortnight ago, killing all 121 people on board.
...
It contained enough compromising revelations to close Helios down. 'My father kept a diary in which he logged every one of that plane's and airline's problems,' he said, as thousands of people gathered last week for his father's funeral in the Cypriot capital, Nicosia.

'He once told me that if any of it ever got out the company would close.'"
