DB Cooper

DB Cooper is the name given to the unidentified man who hijacked a Boeing 727 on November 24, 1971.

Cooper hijacked the plane with a bomb in a suitcase and demanded a ransom of $200,000 in exchange for the passengers’ freedom. When he got the money and the parachute he requested, the plane refueled and took off once again. Cooper then jumped off the plane.

Despite a large manhunt, the FBI didn’t find him or his remains. It’s still a mystery what happened to Cooper and who he really was. Some films even credit him as an inspiration. To this day, the government keeps an active case file for this crime.
