Outcry after RNZ time capsule opened 25 years too early
There's been public outcry after an RNZ time capsule was opened 25 years earlier than it should have been after Parliament's security services feared it could be a bomb. After carefully opening the 20 litre paint tin-turned-time-capsule, and making sure it didn't contain any explosives, decades worth of RNZ memorabilia was unearthed. Ashleigh McCaull's report starts three decades ago, in a news story on the defunct Capital Nightly News.
