Mysteries at the Museum Season 18 Episode 7 Ground Zero Flag, Space Suit and Pacific Codebreaker

In season 18, episode 7 of "Mysteries at the Museum," viewers are taken through three intriguing tales that explore some of the most fascinating mysteries from history. The first story centers around the Ground Zero Flag, which was famously raised by three New York City firefighters on September 11th, 2001, just hours after the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center. Despite being battered and torn, the flag became a symbol of resilience and hope in the midst of tragedy. However, its whereabouts became a mystery for years after the attacks. In this episode, viewers will learn about the intriguing journey this iconic flag went through before it was found again and returned to the National September 11 Memorial Museum. The second story of this episode is dedicated to one of the most iconic artifacts of space travel - the space suit. As viewers will learn, space suits go through rigorous testing before they are ever used on a mission, but even the best testing and preparation can't always prevent accidents from occurring. In this story, we explore the dangers faced by astronaut Gene Cernan when his space suit nearly malfunctioned during a mission and the unforgettable story of a young girl who helped design the prototype for one of the most advanced space suits ever made. Finally, this episode takes viewers back to World War II with a story about the Pacific Codebreaker - a man who played a pivotal role in the Allied victory. During the war, Japanese codes were virtually uncrackable, making it nearly impossible for the Allies to gain the upper hand in the Pacific. However, this codebreaker and his team were able to break into the code, eventually leading to a massive victory for the Allies. Viewers will get an in-depth look at the technology and strategy used to break the code, as well as the behind-the-scenes story of the people who made it happen.
