Sometimes you just wish you were there. 15 times over the head and 20 times in the goobers before your hog-tied and thrown in the back.

Yes, I know who you are. Now you know me.

Is there not a mechanical assist when the level is pulled, thereby making it possible for one nut to open it? Also, how was it possible for D.B. Cooper to do it?

DB Cooper picked his plane carefully, had a different type of door in the rear of the aircraft.

D.B. Cooper made the pilots fly the plane below 10,000 feet, unpressurized, and he dropped the aft air stairs.

Probably even more importantly, the door are all “plug doors, which have to be brought inward, turned 90 degrees then pushed outward through the hole into which they are fitted. The lock pins just keep the door from being able to be moved inward.

" Pressure required to open door: 14,040 pounds."

WOW! That's like Gov Chris Christy in his beach wear leaning against the door, while you're trying to open it.

This sort of thing is why I now keep a couple of HVAC flex duct straps in my carry on backpack. Think giant zip ties.

I guess the big question is whether he survived lived out his life in some remote part of the world.

That’s what I was thinking when I read the story. Knowing the attitudes of American air passengers, he’s lucking he wasn’t killed by the passengers.

Good info.. I wasn’t aware. However, you think a flight attendant would be.

Flying on Daddy’s money, or maybe even Grandpa’s money. I’m pretty sure Jojo just tarnished the family name.

Quoting another FReeper - "he was traveling on a Delta employee family pass."
I'm sure the family is very proud of him.

DB Cooper jumped out the rear door of a Boeing 727-100. 727 was the only airliner with a rear door.

“”Flying on Daddy’s money, or maybe even Grandpa’s money. I’m pretty sure Jojo just tarnished the family name.””

Joseph Daniel Hudek #4 is not making the Hudek family happy.

His father, Joseph Daniel Hudek #3, lives in Tampa and is a registered Republican.

His GREAT grandfather, Joseph Daniel Hudek #1, lives in Jupiter, FL and is 104 years old.

“I tried to choke him and he threw me off like a rag doll.”
The problem we have in this country is people have forgotten/don’t know how to hurt someone.BADLY.
Don’t try to choke hime,PUNCH him in the throat.Jam your fingers directly into his eyes.Do I need to continue?

They should have a fake door that leads into a separate chamber with an outside door. Once the first door pressurizes and seals then release the second door.

Voila! The person who wanted off the plane in mid flight gets his wish!
