US military academy opens 200-year-old time capsule with no apparent contents inside

Description

The US West Point military academy finds no apparent contents in a 200-year-old time capsule recently discovered inside the base of a monument at West Point, New York, and believed to have been left by cadets in the 1820s. "The box didn't quite meet expectations," says an expert during the unveiling ceremony, adding that his team will collect a layer of silt from the bottom of the box to see if they can find any remains in it.
