Happy D B Cooper Weekend!

Dan Cooper aka D B Cooper remains one of the United States of America’s greatest unsolved mysteries and a favourite of conspiracy theorists.

On Thanksgiving Eve, 24th November 1971, a Boeing 727 flying from Portland to Seattle was hijacked by a man dressed in business attire claiming that he had a bomb in his briefcase and demanding $200 000, four parachutes, and for the jet to be given enough fuel to reach Mexico City. Despite hijacking the jet, he insisted on paying for the drinks he bought during the flight.

All passengers were released at Seattle and the jet flew on with only Cooper and the crew on board. It was assumed that Cooper was going to make the crew jump and fly the jet himself.

Instead he jumped from the back of the plane, less than half an hour after take off, taking the money, the briefcase and three of the parachutes. Despite the jet being followed by two USAF Delta Dart fighters and a converted Shooting Star, no one saw Cooper jump out – it was a pitch black stormy night.

Although the FBI concluded Cooper jumped to his certain death, to this day no trace of Cooper has ever been found, only a small bundle of the money in a local river under suspicious circumstances many years later – suggesting it was possibly planted to give the impression Cooper had not survived the jump.

Despite an array of suspects the case remains unsolved, the only hijacker in history that ‘got away with it.’

Some believe Cooper may have had reasons other than financial for the hijacking, the most outrageous being he was a CIA operative gone ‘rogue’ who committed the act as a parting shot to his former employers who frequently paid ‘freedom fighters’ in enemy states to conduct hijackings for political ends.

Whatever the truth, Cooper’s actions led to the creation of the Cooper Vane device in aircraft to prevent exit doors from being openable whilst in flight, and also the town of Ariel in Cowlitz County, Washington (near to where Cooper had jumped) still holds an annual convention to the D B Cooper mystery on the weekend following Thanksgiving.
