Remarkable Footage of F-16 Wreckage Hoisted From Aegean Sea [video]

anelkysi8Amazing footage shows the hoisting of an F16 Blk 52+ fighter jet that crashed into the Aegean Sea on December 4, 2014, due to mechanical failure. The operation for the lifting of the vessel from the ocean took place between June 29 and July 7 off the southern coast of Crete.
Two missions took place with the collaboration of special Air Force Units as well as staff members of the Greek Center of Aquatic Research. The team of experts hope that the wreckage will help them determine the exact cause of the fall from which both pilots managed to escape through the activation of the automatic eject system.
The operation, considered a dangerous undertaking bearing in mind the depth of the wreck at 1 km beneath the sea, was rendered a success.
