Earlier quoted context omitted.

The town band just arrived and we have a stage washed in purple and red. Lots of people in traditional wear. Very little happening. Right... a train beckons.

Have they opened it yet?

there was a newspaper from 1919 , so I guess this isn't a 100 year old package

I predict another Al Capone vault [1]. 1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mystery_of_Al_Capone%27s_Va...

Your 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_Va...

Ahh, thank you; TIL. Fixed in my post.

Whoops, 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.

16:45 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.
