This is a very small time capsule compared to the others but I wanted to include it because it inspired the list. The 50 year old newspaper clipping above describes a silver-plated lead capsule containing 35-mm films. The capsule was placed in the Magnolia Boulevard Bridge in Burbank California when it was built in 1959 and was to be opened 50 years later. City officials didn’t know the capsule was due to be opened until a local historian came across the 1959 newspaper article a few weeks earlier. Workers removed the bridge dedication plaque and noticed a dark patch of concrete and then freed the capsule. The capsule contained 47 photos of the city as well as some predictions of what life would be like in Burbank in 2009.Interesting Fact: One of the predictions was that people would be making “short-haul” flights in “vertical take-off” crafts. You can see the 50 year old pictures and read the rest of the predictions here.
