THE Perfect Crime

On November 24, 1971, D.B. Cooper, a mysterious man who captivated the attention of the entire globe, started a spectacular robbery rampage. Cooper seized a Northwest Orient Airlines flight, demanded a $200,000 ransom and a parachute, and gave the green signal to take off after he had the money. Cooper descended into the darkness while still in flight and vanished into thin air. His exact identity and death are still a mystery despite a thorough inquiry. Cooper became a famous figure in American mythology as a result of his exploits and puzzling disappearances. He also left behind an intriguing account of his experiences and a crime that is still unsolved.

The detailed events:

On November 24, 1971, It all began when Cooper, described as a calm well-dressed middle-aged guy, approached the Northwest Orient Airlines desk at Portland International Airport in Oregon and booked a one-way ticket to Seattle, Washington under the moniker "Dan Cooper"; Cooper slipped into a seat towards the back of a Boeing 727 heading for Seattle on Northwest Orient Airlines Flight 305. Unbeknownst to the crew and passengers, this was a well-planned hijacking. Cooper handed Flo Schaffner, one of the flight attendants, a note stating he had a bomb in his briefcase and demanded $200,000 in "negotiable American currency" and four parachutes. Cooper's demands were taken seriously, and airline personnel arriving in Seattle agreed to pay the requested ransom. The unmarked $20 ransom bill was received from a number of neighborhood banks, as was a parachute from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. Cooper also positioned a fuel tanker truck to load it into the plane, in addition to cash and parachute. Under Cooper's direction, Flight 305 took off towards New Mexico with rescue and parachutes on board. Cooper instructed the few passengers and the majority of the team to remain in the cockpit while he remained in the lower back shortly after landing. He then instructed the plane to drop at 10,000 feet and cruise at roughly 200 miles per hour. Cooper carried out his audacious fleeing plan somewhere between Seattle and Reno, in the wild and hilly Pacific Northwest. At 8:13 p.m. The aircraft's tail section quickly elevated, indicating that the aft steps had been dropped. Witnesses on the ground reported seeing a guy in a black suit with a parachute, later identified as Cooper, drop out of the plane into the soaking chaotic night.
