- 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.
*I'm just imagining the reactions when people in 2126 uncover a time capsule we buried in 2026....*
It will have a presidential letter from Trump 🇺🇸
@@MAXCOBRALAZERFACEHaha funny joke
Bold to assume we're making it to 2126.
Some classic greatest hits from TH-cam's early days that can't be searched for anymore because TH-cam wants to show you stuff irrelevant to your search.

So…it was a time capsule bomb…a time bomb.
🥁 🥁 🥁
oh these aren't pies there bombs
Yup
No it wasn’t a literal bomb the film was potentially hazardous when coming in contact with oxygen smh
I’m admiring how nicely they packed it. 💕
Same. I'm like woah. Idk hate to open those, how nice they were packed and the stamped wax seals! Gorgeous
Back when time capsules meant something 💪
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.
Or just a sealed container with gloves, and a nitrogen atmosphere so nothing really reacts.
"100 years?! Awe that's so cute." 🤭🤣
*-Egyptians* 🇪🇬
Lool nice.. this comment underrated AF
@@JaySean-bs5odno
Bruhh Egyptians - hold my sarcophagus 😂
Imagine bragging that your country peaked thousands of years ago.
@@nostoneunturned7641 😂 So true. Not only that we can honestly claim these “artifacts” as ours.
They got the absolute unit to open the capsule
Wow imagine all that history inside this bomb Time Capsule thingy LMAO😂😂😂😂
Now that's how to seal a time capsule! The contents look well-preserved.
*Bomb Squad blows up 100 year time capsule*
“Okay sweet looks like this wasn’t a bomb after all. Carry on folks.”
This was police propaganda. If they know that something inside might be flammable, set up a tent around it, fill the tent with CO2 and then open it. Opening it outside where the oxygen will rush in is the recipe for a fire.
It's about time.
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.
😂
Good choices
iPod? Even for 2024 that is ancient
The only thing left would be the 100$ bill. All the electronics would be dead from the batteries corroding
@G-Man-half-life Good one,consider as it still stands right now,Chernobyl is STILL not 100% able to be occupied by humans again….unless someone wants radiation poisoning 🦠☠️
those items look like they fared very well over the years! paper still looks new. i wonder how the movie film held up? meaning, was it intact enough to be playable or digitalized?
That’s so freakin awesome. Btw if you haven’t gone to visit this museum it’s a must see.
That lady peeking in while holding a tumbler of coffee. Very professional.
Man, time flies. It’s unbelievable.
Sooo he wanted it to explode???
The general public did not know that Film was sooooo dangerous back then. 🎞🔥
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.
Please put inside an adult film for 2026 time capsule! Thanks
1:23 yeah the way he looks at it is very safe
I would have thought they would have known enough about nitrates in 1921 to know that was a bad idea
There would have been oxygen inside that Time capsule unless it was a perfect vacuum.
If it were sealed, the O2 could have converted to another gas.
Rick Harris from pawn stars would offer $10 and a subway coupon for that time capsule, and he's taking on all the risk opening it 😂
Why wouldn't they open it in a chamber where the oxygen had been removed?
Interesting for sure.
Rick from Pawnstars will give you 5dollar and a big laugh for the box because it is a box with lock broken
What’s next. A whole army just chillin inside a box over the past 162 year
They will probably get the bomb squad to open our 2026 capsule cus we’ll put a lithium battery in it 😂
Bomb squad has a lot of time on their hands
That's probably a good thing
😭😭
This is the USA, not the middle east
We spend lots of time and money training them, recertifying them every year, and we hope we never have to call them.
It's great for training and future preservation.
That was a film threat.
They're going to find film of Joe Biden graduating from college.
😂😂😂😂
Haha top of his class. I wonder if the chain he used to beat up “Corn Pop” is in there as well?
But never Trumps tax returns or medical records...
😂
We won’t need time capsules in the same way with the internet
Although it isn’t perfect, it’s far better than any other medium
I’m just glad that nobody will call the 2020’s the good old days, they’ll have more than enough evidence that itsucked
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.
But a Bomb Squad is more dramatic . . . ☆
show boating, they can just take the top off lol
Helpful tip: You don't need a bomb squad to open a time capsule. Stop wasting tax dollars. Thank you.
cool I love history. priceless pieces of history.
It’s crazy how everyone knows about it, but they have the discipline to wait??
I would bet everything in there was documented and copied. They knew what was in there. No reason not to wait.
It’s been sealed away for 100 years?
Those Inglourious Basterds
The guy talking is not Matt Naylor, that guy is the head curator
I'll leave my Samsung Galaxy phone in a time capsule for it to be open 100 years from now.
Bet they would be so proud of what society has turned into now.
Yeah, you took the words right out of my mouth.
I mean it’s on par with the area. They still mess up my Casey’s order
Guy opens it and puts his face right over the suspected explosive material with NO safety glasses...brilliant.
It’s funny that you think the safety glasses would do anything
I vote for a copy of Peter Jackson's documentary, "They Shall Not Grow Old".
Can we get the film played
I’m going to go bury stuff in my backyard in a box so that one day it can be uncovered and considered an “artifact“.
So we don’t get to see what’s inside
And the new time capsule will be open in 2126.
Tbh is not that interesting anymore for a time capsule if you document everything well enough to the point you know what exactly is the content of the capsule.
Cool
You’re going to open the capsule just to reseal the objects up again in a new time capsule? That’s such a waste.
Not the same objects going back in. Hunter Biden’s hard drive. Anthony Weiner’s mugshot. Monica Lewinsky’s stained dress. Jeff Epstein’s flight logs. Photos of Nancy Pelosi at the beach in her thong bikini. Well, maybe not that last one. Diddy’s indictment would need a train car, so they will probably leave that out too. But stuff from our current age.
This is very meme-able
How about we bury something and dig it up 1,000 years in the future.
Looked as if they were hoping for an explosion the way they yanked it out and yanked that lid off with such force.
Or im trippn.
Also i was hoping for some more interesting artifacts but regardless really cool;)
Nitrate?
Put the hawk tuah girl inside the next one
all fun and games until an Arab guy buries a 300lbs time capsule
imagine one of the document predict covid. should have open it 4 years earlier.
Calvin?
When leaders were real lol
Am I confused? They buried that in 1924 but the first sticker was invented in 1935 or is it candle wax 🧐🧐🧐
Looks like wax seals. 🙂
2126 look is that an Iphone?
ridiculous
1:36 "20/26"??
Damn
Was there anything about Trump?
Dusty Neeco waffers, yuk!
Hi.?
Trumps 4 indictments, trumps mugshot, and trumps first prison jumpsuit should absolutely be put in there.
D
Boring...🥱
First!
no one cares bro
nop e
3rd 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Everyone in the reply section y’all need to be respectful to him, if he’s first don’t be mean about it
Well done champ
second i guess
Yea and last in society aswell.
learned this in inglorious basterds
How awesome would it be if that time capsule had a virus that would make us into mindless brain-dead zombies... wait.. we already have social media for that..HAPPY HALLOWEEN 2024...
Probably has warnings about Islam 😂😂😂
