They are Opening that 100 year old package right now - watch live video
- sidcool 14y agoOk, I am at work and can't watch it. Can someone post updates here? Thanks.
- buro9 14y agoIt's not due to be open until 4:30pm GMT (5:30pm BST)... another 50 minutes. At the moment they're interviewing some spectators asking what they think is in the package... and the package itself is in a plastic clear crate on the floor in the middle of a room of people. Unfortunately I have to jump on a train before it's opened, so I can't tell you what is in it. There's probably another Norwegian or Swedish speaker on here that is also watching and who will be able to explain it all.
- xk_id 14y agosome kind of traditional 'scarves', and lots and lots of letters, notebooks, newspaper articles and other documents.
- andr 14y agoWith all the buzz, military honor guard, etc., this has the potential to be the best prank for years.
- xntrk 14y agoI can't watch either. I hope it's the iPhone 5.
- jfb 14y agoYOU FOOLS!

- JonnieCache 14y agoYour url is broken. The HN parser eats quotes from URLs, which wikipedia uses a lot. You need to urlencode it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mystery_of_Al_Capone%27s_Vaults http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mystery_of_Al_Capone%27s_Va...
- christiangenco 14y agoAhh, thank you; TIL. Fixed in my post.
- electic 14y agoIt's an instruction manual.
- dsirijus 14y agoInstruction manual with no charts? Pffft.
- kamau 14y agoIt's probably a video from Hari Seldon.
- fmystic 14y agoI hope they open it and it's a secret decoder ring with a secret encoded message. "Be... sure... to... drink... your... Ovaltine?"
- xk_id 14y agoWhat was the name of the dance performer, in the black dress? It was beautiful.
- andv 14y agoI understood this was a 100year old package, but inside there were some newspapers from 1914 and from 1919... just marketing and nothing else until now...
- johrn 14y agoWhoops, sorry guys engaged in the main attraction, opening up a 98 year old time capsule is too boring for this audience. Go backstage and come back later to tell us what the interesting stuff was. I feel like this could have been organized better, maybe someone MCing the opening could have been getting people excited about each new item.
- blaze33 14y ago16:45 GMT update, the package was opened. It did contain a second package but as it did not said to open it in 2112 they proceeded to open it. It's essentially a lot of written documents: notebooks, letters, telegrams, some newspapers. There are also some small colored banners (a white one which says "from the king", blue and red ones). Can't transcript what was said in Norwegian but it seems like the museum will be in charge to make a summary of the included items. Sorry, no alien artifacts, no time machine, no explosion, no prank of the year.
