a quick translation from google for the caption:

No scratch, or almost, for the greek jet crashed in the Aegean Sea on June 9. The aircraft was recovered almost intact despite the incident, which occurred near the island of Samos. Both drivers were able to save themselves thanks to the expulsions from the cockpit

Its impressive that it remained so intact, any idea what caused the crash?
