Imperial, California - A treasure trove of precious metals fell out of the cargo hold of a Russian plane as it took off at an airport near the Siberian town of Yakutsk recently. Millions of dollars worth of gold, platinum and diamonds were spread over a 16-mile path before the plane could return to the airport, according to the Association of Mature American Citizens.
Officials said that the original cargo was worth $378 million and that the plane’s cargo ramp was damaged on takeoff. Meanwhile, sanitation workers in Hall County, GA discovered some $100,000 worth of jewelry that had apparently been accidently thrown out with the trash by an unidentified woman who wasted no time in calling the authorities when she discovered her loss.
