History has a strange way of surfacing, doesn't it?

Recently, copies of Indian newspapers from the 1960s, with headlines about Indira Gandhi becoming the Prime Minister, have been discovered on Mont Blanc mountain's melting Bossons glacier, reported The Guardian.

These newspapers were onboard an Air India flight that crashed into the mountain 54 years ago - precisely at 8 am on 24 January, 1966. 177 passengers died in that plane crash.
