  • It took a bomb squad to open a 100-year-old time capsule. In 1924, historians at Kansas City's Liberty Memorial, now the National World War I Museum and Memorial, buried a time capsule. Along with 14 other items, a piece of 1920s film was placed in the time capsule. Film from that time was often made with nitrate, which becomes flammable as it deteriorates. The Kansas City Police Department Bomb and Arson Unit removed the time capsule and took it to a safe location where it could be unsealed.

    it's so crazy... 100yrs doesn't sound like a lot of time, honestly. but there they were. tons of war, no technology like we have today, etc. millions of people completely gone and the world literally handed down to millions of others... its crazy to think about.

    If I was gonna put a time capsule somewhere I’d put a 100 dollar bill, my laptop 💻, pictures of the city I live in, my iPod, some letters, some Twinkies, and some video clips of city life as it was in 2024 and then I’d seal the time capsule shut for 20 thousand years until about the time Chernobyl becomes safe for human habitation once again.

    Utilizing a vacuum chamber could have reduced the risk by a lot. I know nothing happened, but if it had caught on fire and destroyed everything inside the capsule, this would have been a joke.

    Show boating. They could have placed it into a container filled with a neutral gas, removed / seperated the contents from the film, placed film reel in water and later dried / played the film.
