That really sucks that it got water in there, what a cool idea! I think its neat how they put gas and oil in there too, cause they werent sure if there was going to be gasoline now!

the way it's looking you may be able to bring it home in a sandwhich bag. With that water in tere it's gonna be interesting to see what happens to it when they try to move it

Yeah for sure. Did you read though about the plastic wrapping it is in. The company said it was good for something like 1200 years!

back in the 50's though they also said smoking wasn't bad for you, they used asbestos, and used lead based paints

i dunno man, they would have to seal up the plastic so no water could get in... looks like its just a car cover kinda deal and the water would have gone up inside? or no?

yeah i'd say the way its sitting that it's toast. it'd be hard even with today's technology to completely seal it. at the very least you'd get condensation in there and after 50 years that could do some damage...
