Time Capsule Flooded Fifty Years Later | St. Louis News

Pleasant Hill, Missouri, stumbled into history’s soggy surprise when a 50-year-old time capsule—meant to be unveiled on July 4th—spilled water like a leaky time machine. The heavy, sealed box, buried in 1976, had failed catastrophically, flooding its contents. But hope flickers: some items were in plastic bags, and experts are now draining the mess and salvaging what they can. The city’s not backing down—plans are already underway to bury a new time capsule in 2028 for their 200th birthday. A watery setback, but history’s still on track.
