In Egypt’s Valley of the Kings, British archaeologists Howard
Carter and Lord Carnarvon became the first people to enter
King Tutankhamen’s tomb in more than 3,000 years.

Tutankhamen’s sealed burial chambers were miraculously
intact, and inside was a collection of several thousand
priceless objects, including a gold coffin containing the
mummy of the teenage king.

HIJACKER PARACHUTED OUT OF A PLANE

Parcast  
    
    
    
    
    
 

A hijacker who became known as D.B. Cooper parachutes from
a Northwest Orient Airlines 727 into a raging thunderstorm over
Washington State. He had $200,000 in ransom money in his
possession.

Cooper commandeered the aircraft shortly after takeoff, showing
a flight attendant what looked like a bomb and informing the crew
that he wanted $200,000, four parachutes, and “no funny stuff.”

The plane landed at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, where authorities met Cooper’s demands and evacuated most of the passengers. Cooper then demanded that the plane fly toward
Mexico at a low altitude and ordered the remaining crew into
the cockpit.

At 8:13 p.m., as the plane flew over the Lewis River in southwest Washington, the plane’s pressure gauge recorded Cooper’s jump
from the aircraft.

A storm prevented an immediate capture, and most authorities
assumed he was killed during his apparently suicidal jump. No
trace of Cooper was found during a massive search.
