Didn't some kids find a sack of old moldy cash somewhere up in Wash.?

People need to get over the guy and move on.

There used to be a big bar in the Silicon Valley named D.B. Cooper's that had a big statue of him parachuting suspended from the ceiling. Ah, the eighties.

He learned an important lesson: never get parachutes from the people that you're robbing.

I remember reading about that. I think the serial numbers matched his stuff.

In a strange mashup of Arlen Spector and Subby, headline is espousing the magic necktie theory.

The story would have been more interesting if he stole the plane, throwing everyone out the back.

It's no mystery what happened to Cooper. He fell to his death out the back of the airliner.

/he asked for parachutes.
/he didn't ask for "working" parachutes.

BarbadoSlim: People need to get over the guy and move on.

Is that a joke about the other people in the plane?

containg?

Except he asked for four parachutes. It was reasonable for authorities to think they were meant for the crew and therefore needed to be in working order.

He was a smart man this DB Cooper.

He was a smart man this DB Cooper.

Yeah: that's why he jumped from a plane in dress shoes. Which would have been torn off by the wind immediately.

And at night: always a good time for a jump over the forest.

HoratioGates: containg?

It's what the conastroinauts drank.

He died at the end of season one of Prison Break.

hubiestubert: Now some people say that he died up there somewhere in the rain and the wind
Other people say that he got away but his girlfriend did him in
The law men say if he is out there someday they're gonna bring him in
As for me, I hope they never see
D.B. Cooper again

NFA: He may have actually made bombs or fireworks as a part of his highjacking plan but then decided against them. Titanium was used in many fireworks and flash powders in the 1970's up until today. Those additives would be chemically pure like the kind found on his tie. Flash powder is what is used in the making of firecrackers, M80's and pipe bombs.

You have a point.

/at least he had a working parachute (...probably)

red5ish: There used to be a big bar in the Silicon Valley named D.B. Cooper's that had a big statue of him parachuting suspended from the ceiling. Ah, the eighties.

There's currently a bar here in Michigan named D.B. Cooper's that has no references to him whatsoever, and the people I've spoken to who were working or drinking there had no idea who he was. Why yes, it IS a dumpy little redneck bar, as a matter of fact.

I want to believe that he made it

Come on, everyone knows who DB Cooper was.

There was no D.B. Cooper.

It was all a clever scheme put together by the flight crew.

For three years, a team of private scientists has been studying evidence from the Cooper case at the invitation of the Seattle office of the FBI.

Huh... so in 3 years, private enterprise triumphs over a massively funded government agency w/ almost unlimited resources.


Obvious tag on holiday break??

FTFA: So Cooper could have been part of the fallout," said Kaye.

Funny thing to say about someone who jumped out of an airplane.

This crime happened so long ago for an amount of money now so paltry that one would hope it would be relegated to the area of "hobbies" rather than funded investigation.

I'd agree with you, but then they'd probably find lots of other trace materials consistent with fireworks as well. Only finding titanium probably rules out fireworks, unless they couldn't be bothered to mention or look for the other traces.

Not that I condone criminal acts, but if you're going to pull a hijacking/ransom, you should research D.B. Cooper as a case study in style.

cig-mkr: FTA: we think he was an engineer or manager
I would say engineer because he knew how to over ride the safety system to open the door while the plane was in flight. Military training on the use of a parachute.

In fact there was no safety system to prevent that door from opening. The safety system that they did install after that on all 727's that prevented the aft hatch from opening was dubbed "The Cooper vane".

D.B. Cooper probably died.

Growing up in the northwest I was always intrigued by this story. I had a book that had the story of the hijacking and in the back was every serial number of every bill that DB took. I used to check my parents wallets and compare...unfortunately I never found a match.
I gave up after about 20 bills....
/I kinda hope he got away

If they have the serial numbers of the bills he stole, can wheresgeorge.com track them?

//I gotta get a book about this guy.

Yes, but the location didn't make sense.
