The Fight to Bring Home the Headdress of an Aztec Emperor
&quot;A study commissioned by the Austrian government claimed that a safe return would be impossible without a specially designed case to protect it from the vibrations caused by flight. According to the study, it would require a plane 984 feet long—the length of 2.7 football fields—and 164 feet high to buffer the vibrations caused by take-off and landing. Since no such plane exists the repatriation seems unlikely in the short term.&quot;<p>What a lame excuse. Have they ever heard of ships? You know, those things that got the thing there in the first place. Granted maybe the study linked in the article also considered the vibrations from a sea journey but in that case it was poor wording on the writer&#x27;s part. Not to nitpick too much =). Interesting read nonetheless.
