A 14-year-old boy from Denmark just wanted to do something interesting and unique in his School Project. When this desire of his, eventually, led him to his farm, things took a drastic turn and what had started from a normal school project turned into something that garnered the attention of the media from all over the world. Experience thrill and excitement to its fullest on reading how this rare incident unfolded.
Homework Into Historical Discovery
It all started with a school project that a boy named Daniel Kristiansen got. In his project, he was assigned the task to do some research on World War II. In the end, the research the boy came up with along with the discoveries he made, shook the whole world. It had all started with a joke that his father, Klaus, made on him.
Checked the Fields?
Yeah, I know that you are a little confused with that “joke” thing? Let me clear that out for you. There was a family joke which revolved around the Kristiansen’s regarding the story of an abominable land that Dan’s grandfather used to tell everyone. It was this joke that Klaus recalled on hearing about his son’s history project which triggered it all. The farm you see in the image belongs to the Kristiansen family. You can just get an idea of the long period for which they have been the owner of the farm by the fact that Dan’s grandfather always used to say that something sinister had happened on their land 73 years ago. Well, certainly the farm had seen way many things apart from vegetables and herd of cattle. But, what?
Mysterious Crash
While giving an interview to a radio station named DR P4 Nordjylland of Denmark, Klaus explained that the story his father told him was set on the backdrop of World war II. He went on to say, “When Daniel was recently given a good homework about World War Two, I jokingly told him to go out and find the plane that is supposed to have crashed out in the field.” In reality, Klaus never believed the story that his father told him. But, what Klaus had not expected, was the fact that his son Dan would take the story seriously.In fact, Dan was so serious that he went on to investigate their family farm that his grandfather had described in his story. Luckily, Dan’s curiosity came in handy for the whole world eventually.
Casual Search
So, as a supportive father would do, Klaus accompanied his son on a trip to the field carrying a metal detector. Aat the back of his mind Klaus was confident enough not to find anything special apart from a few insignificant objects which his son could display in his project. He told a CNN reporter, “I hoped we might find some old plates or something for Daniel to go and show in school.” But, Klaus got goosebumps after seeing what they had discovered. An agricultural worker by profession, Klaus Kristiansen was in utter shock when against all odds he witnessed the metal detector beeping wildly when he along with his son reached the farm. He was truly convinced before coming to the field that they would not find anything.
Need To Go Deeper
Things got interesting when the father and son duo found some pieces from a plane on digging the field a bit. They soon realized that there were way many other things hidden deep inside the field. Therefore, they decided to get some help in order to dig deep into the field and unravel the mystery. So they decided to lend a mini excavator from their neighbor. From then on things started to get more thrilling as they went on to discover the remains of a plane and bones while digging at a depth of 6 meters and 7 meters respectively. Now, this is enough to send chills down the spine of anyone.
