D.B. Cooper: The Man Who Vanished With 200,000 Dollars

Dr.Docs' Take

In 1971 a polite man in a suit hijacked a jet, collected his ransom, and parachuted into the night and into legend, never to be reliably seen again. This lays out the one American skyjacking that stayed unsolved, along with the long parade of suspects who almost fit. I quietly root for Cooper, because a clean disappearance is such a rare and tidy piece of work. Fifty years of theories and the best answer is still a shrug, which is somehow perfect.

What if I told you a man hijacked a plane, stole $200,000, and jumped into the night sky... NEVER TO BE SEEN AGAIN? On November 24th, 1971, a man calling himself Dan Cooper boarded a flight from Portland to Seattle. By the end of the night, he’d pull off one of the most daring crimes in history – and vanish without a trace. The chilling details of the hijacking The impossible jump that should have killed him
