Or even look at the link cause it's old news, yet still intriguing.

The case of the only white hijacker in history should never be forgotten and should always be seen as the most famous hijacking.

That the other 8,495 hijackings were done by non-white people could become problematic if the Cooper hijacking doesn't get at least 5 times the publicity of all the rest of the hijackings put together.

borg		2009-03-07 02:40:18 AM

There was never a D. B. Cooper, the hijacker was named Dan Cooper.

I thought the mystery was always about who he was/what happened to him rather than about the money.

Some of the money was found around 1980 by some kid while camping. The rest has never been spent.

Nein, ze post-War Germans got pretty good at hijacking too, even if their motives were the jew hating they had in common with certain brown people.

And for DB Cooper and money he took
You can look for answers but that ain't fun
Now get in the pit and try to love someone

Seriously. Watch out for doppelgangers. That smiling Dale Cooper? Could be a doppelganger, laughing maniacally into the bathroom mirror. Just watch it, is what I'm saying.

refrigeratorelf: I thought the mystery was always about who he was/what happened to him rather than about the money.

I think once they figure out what happened to the money, then they will have figured out what happened to the man.

His radioed message used to be up on Internet Archive.org, but I can't find it now......

It's hardly a laughing matter. This is exactly why I only buy free range rubber bands.

I think it was Duane Weber. Link (pops)

Barring a psychopathy which fostered some sort of personality displacement disorder, I would take the word of a man on his deathbed. Of any other time in your life to get something off your chest, it would be in your last moments. I would like to know what they've dug up on Weber.

They fail to mention that the 3 or 4 month life expectancy is only for rubber bands born in captivity.

Remember, it's important for us to subsidize and preserve our hallowed Old Media institutions, so that the drooling cretin like the reporter who wrote this article can remain gainfully employed. You just can't depend on some random blogger to write this incoherently.

Some people say that he died up there somewhere in the rain and the wind.
Other people say that he got away, but then his girlfriend did him in.
Law men say, if he is out there, some day we're gonna drag him in,
But, as for me, I hope we never see D. B. Cooper again.
