Suddenly It's Rust



The 1957 Plymouth time capsule did not go well.... The capsule was not sealed sufficiently to keep water out and thus the 1957 Plymouth is a piece of rust. It would have been better to keep it outside for 50 years. Oh well... apparently someone else buried a 1997 Plymouth Prowler to be unearthed in 2047. See if that fares better.

I nominate this for one of the funniest stories of '07 so far. Man, that thing looks like the Titanic at the bottom of the sea. Any gravedigger could have told them that water will cut through anything, given enough time.

Photos of the whole event from 1957 and 2007 can be found at their official site: Alive in 2007. The photo album is slow, but worth going through. And maybe I shouldn't laugh. This silly stunt has gained Tulsa's website more than 3 million hits in the past week!
