Bell 407 Helicopter Accident: Who Is Jack Stanton Gleaves? Details About His Friends Explored

Jack Stanton Gleaves is a friend of Jack Fenton, who tragically died in Greece after walking into a helicopter’s rotating rotor blade.

Together with Jack Stanton’s three friends Jack Fenton, 22, James Yeabsley, 19, and Max Savage, 20, Jack Stanton Gleaves had left the helicopter.

However, an investigator reported that Fenton is thought to have returned alone to the runway where the aircraft was still running after getting off the helicopter and disregarded instructions to stop.

The four passengers in the helicopter reportedly intended to fly from Athens International airport back to Britain.

Jack Stanton Gleaves, who was in the same helicopter as Jack, claimed that “no orders were given” when he stepped outside the aircraft, and he said he had no idea why his friend turned toward the rear blade.

The group was allegedly taken away from the chopper, according to the Greek government, but Jack Fenton was immediately on his phone as he hurried back towards the car.

Police are looking into the possibility that the young man was attempting to take a selfie with the helicopter as part of their investigation.
