You can actually plot the occurrence of the event, accuracy within six months, via the amount of money extorted.

Or maybe he had a temporary delusion that the flight attendant was none other than Bing Crosby himself...YOU ARE BING.. and went on to inform Bing that he was hijacked!
I'm hijacked?

I was a young Mom returning from work in Seattle on a very rainy nite when this happened...actually think this was the nite I forgot to pick up my son at daycare...his lowlife Dad (my now ex)...who was at home, did go get him. I think I was engrossed in the DB Cooper activities as they were happening nearby.

I know it was only $200,000 but I don’t how much it weighed. If I was going to steal money, even in the 70’s, Id’ve gone for something MUCH more worthwhile. I’ve fallen out of airplanes before (for a lot less, granted) but I would’ve wanted a whole lot more than a house for a suicide mission.

weight - depends on the denominations of the bills. if we’re talking 100s, in ten grand bands, thats 20*100 = 2000 bills, is 2000 grams, is about 4.5 pounds. if it’s in twenties it’s about 23 pounds. and five times bulkier.

He got away. They found a parachute but no body. How does that happen. Plus they found some money but not much. Probably left there to throw people off.

From the article:
The FBI is investigating whether the skull being held by Assistant State Medical Examiner Larry Lewman in 1975, found by Forest Service employees in Oregon, is Cooper's.
See article for photo of skull found in 1975.

23 lbs. We jumped with 60-65 pounds strapped on. I’d think he could’ve handled that, but ...who knows?

The parachute they have is one D.B. left on the plane, not the one he jumped with - which was never found. The money that kid found in 1980, who knows how it got there.

To: Safetgiver
the amount was important as had he tried for too much it would have taken time.
D.B. was smart enough to ask for a reasonable amount that could have been gotten rather quickly along with a para chute.
A real kool event in time
Thanks D.B.
