If you’re a fan of Prison Break aka Scofield and the gang , you should know who’s DB Cooper.
DB Cooper hijacked boeing 727 on november 24,1971 . He bought a ticket to Seattle from Portland. After the jet had taken off from Portland, he handed a note to a young flight attendant named Florence Schaffner who was seated in a jumpseat attached to the aft stair door, situated directly behind and to the left of Cooper’s seat. She thought he was giving her his phone number, so she slipped it, unopened, into her pocket. Cooper leaned closer and said, “Miss, you’d better look at that note. I have a bomb. In the envelope was a note that read: “I have a bomb in my briefcase. I will use it if necessary. I want you to sit next to me. You are being hijacked.
Cooper demanded 200k in 20knotes and 4 parchutes. The note carried instructions ordering the items to be delivered to the plane when it landed at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. After receiving all of his demands, Cooper release all 34 passenger and flew the plane to Mexico City. Along the way , he jump off the plane in Washington outskirt and never to be seen again.
FBI expected that Cooper would be dead because the weather is heavy with storm on the night that Cooper jump out the plane. They found Cooper’s parachutes but there’s no trace of cooper anywhere. Only 9 years later, On February 10, 1980, Brian Ingram, then eight years old, was with his family on a picnic when he found $5,880 in decaying bills (a total of 294 $20 bills), still bundled in rubber bands, approximately 40 feet (12 m) from the waterline and just 2 inches (5.1 cm) below the surface, on the banks of the Columbia River 5 miles (8 km) northwest of Vancouver, Washington. After comparing the serial numbers with those from the ransom given to Cooper almost nine years earlier, it was proven that the money found by Ingram was part of the ransom given to Cooper.
