2. After 43 years, they're still finding bodies.

Then-President Néstor Kirchner in 2006 first gave the Argentine Forensic Anthropology Team permission to search the Campo de Mayo Army training base for long-rumored mass graves.

Now, they'll be using aerial laser scanning technology to see below the (vast) surface - in hopes of finding more burial sites.

The base - located about 10 mi NW of Buenos Aires, and at 20 mi² the largest in the country - became the second most-important detention center during the Dirty War: of the 4,000 prisoners detained at the facility in 1976–78, 50 survived.
