Two women holding pictures of relatives, who died in the Cypriot Helios Airways disaster, cry outside a court in Nicosia February 26, 2009. Three people appeared in the court on Thursday charged with involvement in a 2005 plane crash which killed 121 people in Greece's worst and most perplexing air disasters on record. Executives of the privately owned Cypriot Helios Airways airline, which has suspended operations, and the airline itself face charges of manslaughter and of causing death through negligence in a highly charged case.
