Horrifying Clip Of People Escaping Greek Fires Compared To Disaster Movie

Terrifying footage likened to a disaster movie has emerged from Greece, where wildfires have forced thousands to flee.

More than 64 wildfires were still burning through last night, with residents of the town of Limni on the island of Evia forced to evacuate by ferry.

‘Not at all comfortable with the resemblance to a scene from an actual disaster film,’ one social media user reacted. ‘Blimey it’s like the ferry leaving the island on fire in the latest Jurassic World film. Scary,’ another wrote. ‘Looks like a scene straight out of an apocalypse movie,’ a third wrote.

‘We’re talking about the apocalypse, I don’t know how [else] to describe it,’ Sotiris Danikas, head of the coastguard in the town of Aidipsos on Evia, also said.

Officials across Greece and Europe have blamed the fires on the climate crisis, coming after similar catastrophic blazes in the US, Italy and Siberia.
