A Greek Air Force Mirage 2000 fighter jet is lifted from the Aegean sea near the Greek island of Samos.

I'm guessing this jet stands about as good of a chance of coming back to life as my iPhone 4 after it fell in the lake.

This jet crashed a couple weeks ago during an exercise between the Greek islands of Samos and Fourni. The cause of the crash still remains unknown.

    The plane seems remarkably trauma free from the shown angles. Looks like a smaller version of the Bond plan.

    Curious "wreck".

        My guess is---total loss due to salt water immersion.
