American Antihero: D.B. Cooper
from Autumn's Oddities · host Autumn Grube
It's the only unsolved hijacking case in the history of commercial aviation. On the afternoon of November 24, 1971—Thanksgiving Eve—a man boarded a flight from Portland to Seattle and slipped a note to a flight attendant. He threatened to detonate a bomb if he didn't receive a hefty ransom. Once he got the money, the hijacker released all passengers and ordered the crew to fly to Mexico. Mid-air, with cash in hand, the man jumped from the aircraft, deploying a parachute into the pitch-black sky.This man has come to be known as D.B. Cooper, and after a 45-year FBI investigation, his identity, whereabouts, and motive remain unknown.SOURCEShttps://www.fbi.gov/history/famous-cases/db-cooper-hijackinghttps://vault.fbi.gov/D-B-Cooper%20/https://www.britannica.com/biography/D-B-Cooperhttps://www.newspapers.com/image/?clipping_id=20785090&fcfToken=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJmcmVlLXZpZXctaWQiOjI1MDM1MDQ3NywiaWF0IjoxNjU2MzU0NzE2LCJleHAiOjE2NTY0NDExMTZ9.Ff4UHsCJz_Ie6gN7a_OGMz9uEdRFZuB2j74_9h4i0Q0Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/autumn-s-oddities--5307439/support.
