Mind Bending Physics Behind The 1978 Lufthansa Heist
from Kurupt
In 64 minutes at 3am in 1978, a crew walked into JFK's Lufthansa terminal with inside intel and walked out with 5 million in untraceable cash plus nearly a million in jewels—the biggest cash robbery in American history. The heist itself was absolutely flawless, but within days crew members were buying Cadillacs with cash and the mastermind Jimmy Burke started murdering anyone he thought might talk, racking up a double-digit body count that brought way more heat than the robbery ever would have. They planned every second of the crime perfectly but gave zero thought to the hardest part—not being idiots with the money afterward—and that's why most of them ended up dead while the cash is still buried somewhere to this day.
