On June 19, a 79-year-old man was slightly injured, without requiring hospitalization.
The man had gone out for a walk. He was moving on the road, next to the walkway of Skiathos. He saw the plane descending, but estimated that he would have time to pass by. He accelerated his pace, however, he did not make it. The plane, which at that time was approaching very close to the ground, created a wave of gas, as a result of which, the walker was ejected into the sea, at a distance of about 10 meters from where he was!
