D.B. Cooper
November 24, 1971.
On the afternoon of November 24th, 1971, a man approached the flight counter of Northwest Orient Airlines at Portland International Airport. The middle-aged man wore a suit and had an attache case and referred to himself as “Dan Cooper”:
The man boarded flight 305 and took his seat, 18C. Once the plane was in the air the man did something interesting: after ordering a bourbon and soda he passed the flight attendant a note. Assuming this to be a phone number the flight attendant ignored the note she was handed. Softly, the man leaned into the flight attendant and whispered…
“Miss, you’d better look at that note, I have a bomb”
