FBI Gives Up
After 45 years, the FBI finally throws in the towel on D.B. Cooper hijacking - LA Times
...the man in sunglasses and business suit handed a stewardess an invitation she could not refuse in mid-flight.
“Miss,” his note said, “I have a bomb and would like you to sit by me.”
He showed her what appeared to be a wired-up explosive device in his briefcase, and demanded $200,000 and four parachutes.
After the Northwest Orient Airlines flight from Portland, Ore., landed in Seattle that Thanksgiving eve, Nov. 24, 1971, the 36 other passengers and two flight attendants disembarked and the ransom money and parachutes were brought aboard. The Boeing 727 then took off for Mexico City, as the hijacker ordered, flying slowly at 10,000 feet.
Somewhere over southwest Washington state, officials figured, he dropped the rear exit stairs and parachuted with his cash into legend.
