We all know about the 9/11 terrorist attack, but did you know there was another deadly act of terrorism in New York City on Wall Street in 1920? Or how about the fact that the Boy Scouts, a deeply American tradition, was actually founded by a British spy! And, would you guess one of America's most beloved beverages -- Coca-Cola got so popular because it used to have an ingredient that made it impossible to resist? Plus, what about DB Cooper?

We know that the U.S. and Soviets went to extreme lengths to win the cold war, but few people know about a top-secret project by the US government to bury nuclear missiles under the ice in Greenland within striking distance of the USSR!
