They should definitely redo the time capsule. How about putting in a bullfrog. One that sings and dances. "Hello my Baby, hello my Honey, hello my ragtime gaaaal...." You could even make a cartoon or movie about it.... Just a suggestion.
wait this capsule held documents that important to history and they just opened it with a rope in the middle of a park... where they hoping it was going to explode, my high school science class was better equipped than they where and that is saying 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.
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.
I love how it's not even "still", they most definitely would NOT have been this crappy 50 years ago.

But I guess as society devolves, so does the average intellect, leading to these "experts" who know less than a junior back in the day. And this happens in every single field, it's just that for someone being incompetent on a critical field such as this one is far more dangerous since people's lives could be on the line... but hey, at least you can feel safe that next time the bomb squad comes out to help, at least you know they'll have their trusty rope by their side, ready to blow up the explosives without a care in the world!

@@dfirth224And the film they were copied onto wasn’t great either (cellulose acetate decomposes with time too but doesn’t detonate). More modern polyester film stock is much better. A lot of early film and news reels were lost to a couple of archival storage fires.
The most important thing that the time capsule revealed is what incredible safety ninnies we've become, and in a mere 100 years. They entombed it in 1924, and when the Eloi opened it, they had to call some Morlocks to tell them is was safe.
The soldering along the rim of the lid is lead. Back in those days it was used to make seals, solder pipes, repair leaks in gas tanks etc. It didn't look very well joined, but they couldn't exactly heat it up very hot with a torch to get the molecular bond with paper inside.
They wouldn't have used a torch, but would have used a soldering iron. The way sheet metal was done back in they day was with a very heavy soldering iron, some times heated with a torch, but also they had electric ones as well. I actually have an electric one that was made for just this purpose that I 'liberated' while in the Navy in the 80s. We used them for galvanised sheet metal and making lead sheet battery boxes for some of the old ships.
Wasn't there a film depository that went up massively because alot of the original film archived was the same nitrate film ? And the responding fire brigade wasn't aware and they helped accelerate the loss of the priceless films ? I am sure The History Guy did a story on it.
Wouldn't it have made much more sense to open it under an inert atmosphere so that the other items could be recovered first without risking fire or explosion??
"Hey this is a business not a charity. Maybe one day UNICEF will get into the pawn business, but until then, we're the people to see." Name that movie!

"not as interesting if things would've exploded" A person who can poke humor at the potential of things going wrong is somebody who has seen a lot of bad days, yet still loves their job. lol
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 . . . ☆

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.
If the contents of that box were deemed to be so harmful, jet so valuable: Why didn't they bring it into a space with a nitrogen atmosphere inside, get someone with an oxygen supplied suit inside to identify and separate the contents beforehand? A tent would be enough, you just need to displace the oxygen enough to prevent a reaction. But what do I know, I'm just an electrician.
