Terror in the Colorado sky ***
Brothers Paul Hopp, 64, left, and Conrad Hopp, 68, stand where their family farm near Longmont used to be and where United Flight 629 crashed. The men were in their teens on Nov. 1, 1955, and had finished dinner when the explosion rocked their house. They found bodies and debris strewn across their fields.

Graham was crackers.
Dyn-o-mite!
Crime committed: Nov. 1955
Criminal executed: January 1957
How things have changed in 50 years.
And he didn't die sedated laying on a table getting drugs. Capital punishment needs to be associated with words like electrodes, chamber, gallows and noose, not sedation, drugs and needle..
Dead is dead, I'll settle for that (in a timely fashion please).

That guy must be in his mid to late 70's.
They found a good deal of the money on the bank of the river, and none of the other money has ever been negotiated. He probably did not survive the bailout.
They actually found the suitcase with some of the money in the sludge pit that is the Green River. If he is alive, ol' DB is probably retired in Canada.
I thought it was the Green River, but I could be wrong.
It was somewhere near Vancouver, IIRC. I was just working from memory, because I remember thinking at the time that the Columbia currents and shifting sandbars would bury just about anything forever. Although of course it might surface unexpectedly after 50 years or so . . .
What was that line in a song???---Turn back the hands of time?
Never trust the people you're stealing money form to pack your parachute.
form=from
DB wasn't as smart as he thought he was, was he?
I agree with most that he is at the bottom of the river, buried under decades of mud.
