D.B. Cooper: The Hijacker Who Vanished with $200,000 and an Unfilled Gap
On the afternoon of November 24, 1971, a man using the name Dan Cooper bought a one-way ticket from Portland to Seattle. He wore a suit and black tie, ordered bourbon and soda, and sat quietly on Northwest Orient Flight 305. After takeoff, he handed flight attendant Florence Schaffner a note. She thought it was a telephone number and put it away. The man leaned close and told her to read it at once: the briefcase beside him contained a bomb.
