Parked inside the Boston Fire Museum in Boston, Massachusetts is an antique steam engine. It was once called upon to battle a devastating event that no firefighter had ever trained for. So what was this bizarre and deadly disaster?  The Northwest Museum of Legends and Lore in Seattle, Washington is home to an oddly life-like wax sculpture -- modeled after the man who committed what may be the most notorious airplane hijacking in U.S. history. Who was this criminal? And how did he get away with his dastardly plot?  On display at Historic Auto Attractions in Roscoe, Illinois is a seemingly ordinary pair of sunglasses. But these spectacles belonged to a rock-and-roll legend who died at the height of his fame. Why did his early death prompt rumors of a curse?
