@Martin Todd You should know that the more time passes the less of a chance they find someone, they spent 40 years and countless millions on finding this guy, even on the chance they find him after 40 years, when he is like 60-70 maybe even dead? what's the point outside of their reputation? He never hurt anyone, bomb was probably fake just to threaten and get the money and he didn't get a large sum of money. There are quite a large amount of small crimes that don't even get investigated just because it is not worth the effort. This guy was assumed to be dangerous so that is probably the only legitimate reason to spend a few years on this case, at least that's how i see it. Your taxed money goes to this too you know, i don't see how you are completely okay with them spending 40 years on it. I don't see how you can compare large criminal operations like smuggling that usually if investigated can lead to a big fish and get whole criminal organization arrested to a guy that was alone on a plane with a fake bomb and never hurt anyone and just took a small amount of money considering how much he could've taken and there is probably a reason for it, he planned everything. If you spend 5-20 years and never encounter him again in a similar situation, do you think he'll wait until he's 60 to pull something like this again? So if he isn't going to do any more crimes and no one died or even got hurt it is valueless to me and spending that much money on such a case is dumb. I understand that criminal investigations aren't about profit but there's a time where it becomes a literal waste of manpower and money on a valueless case.

[@000petar000]

@Martin Todd They didn't even know anything from what i understood watching this video, do you really think that anyone notified them about the bomb? they were probably told that there were some issues with landing but nothing serious. He basically wrote it on a piece of paper and gave it to stewardess and she just notified the pilot and co pilot and the rest of the staff. They were in the air a bit longer and landed and everyone except staff was let go and money was delivered. You are really dumb to question my integrity based on your assumptions on what happened. If people are notified on a plane it would cause chaos, neither the blackmailer with the bomb nor staff would want to notify the crew about it, this is not like the movies you watch on TV when they are told every single time.

He never jumped out of the plane. He attached the two parachutes to the money and tossed it out, he was interested in the thrill, not the money. He then hid in the wheel compartment since he had them remain partially deployed as one of his stipulations, making hiding in there safer and roomier. When the plane touched down and the authorities rushed in to sweep the cabin, he casually strolled away. While they were focused on searching for him where they believed he jumped, he was quite literally, under their noses.

[@davidanderson_surrey_bc]

Here's my instantly concocted Cooper hypothesis: Cooper was a Canadian who had military and flight experience, and maybe some knowledge of explosives. After the plane took off for Mexico, Cooper herded the remaining crew into the cockpit and closed the door, leaving him alone in the cabin. He filled two of the four supplied parachute packs with dead weight scavenged from around the plane, and added a packet of the ransom money to each one. Shortly after 8 pm he opened the exterior door and shoved the two weighted packs out, which resulted in the plane momentarily dipping forward. He then went to a predetermined spot (perhaps within the luggage storage area, or perhaps near one set of landing gear) and waited for the plane to land. Naturally, he left the exterior door open to add to the illusion that he'd actually jumped. The plane landed, and as it was night-time, illumination beneath the plane was quite dim. Cooper then exited through one of the opened landing gear bays and quietly made his way into the night, never to be found by authorities. And seeing as this hypothesis was instantly concocted, it means of course that I haven't researched the configuration of a 727-100 to see if it's possible to hide in the luggage storage area or to exit through the landing gear bay. But I'll leave that to the experts. And if anybody wants to make a movie based on my hypothesis, the idea is free for you to use.

Fun fact: the passengers had no idea the plane was hijacked. They didn’t realize that they had been within meters from a bomb until the FBI delayed their trip even longer by interviewing every single passenger on the flight.

[@Vollification]

No reason to create panic, calm hostages are the best hostages. Also there is a possibility that the bomb was fake not just because he wasn't a terrorist, he didn't want to kill anyone or had any political motives, he was just a theif. But also if he was caught (highly possible) a fake bomb would do a world of difference in court. If anyone on the plane wanted to be a hero, it would be all over.

[@Legionmint7091]

@@Vollification Indeed. I always wondered if the briefcase in fact had a false bottom where the upper side was a cleverly constructed thin fake bomb layer which covered a folded parachute suit, boots, helmet gloves and goggles. It’s highly unlikely that he jumped in a suit and trench coat in the pitch-black night, in the rain, with a 172 mph, 15 °F (−9 °C) wind in his face at 10,000 feet (3,000 m) in November over Washington state.

[@Vollification]

@@Legionmint7091 And maybe even some stuff to help with suvival and navigation. Even if he planned everything to detail with a hidden getaway car or a hideout, parachuting in the middle of the night, in unfavorable weather isn't easy (even if he had military training). Dude's lucky he didn't hit a tree. And that was one of the questions "How did he survive in the wild?" This answers it, the bomb was just a prop. Colour some rolls red, attach some wires and stuff and it will look like what any layman assumes a bomb looks like (and won't take any chances with). The stuff you described would serve to simulate proper weight.

[@Legionmint7091]

@@Vollification I agree. The FBI figured that he chose the four-day weekend so that he had time to get back to his regular job thus not rising suspicion from family and coworkers. They never found anyone who was absent from work who fit the profile. However, if he was Canadian I’m not so sure the feds had full insight. Moreover, the hijacking was meticulously planned in any other aspect so there’s nothing that says that he didn’t go off grid well before the hijacking, or even faked his own death. He doesn’t seem to have committed major crimes before this event, since no one recognized him from the facial composite, and he seem to have laid low after that as well. Which most likely means he either died on impact out in the wilderness, or that he survived and left the US, and lived out his life in anonymity in some other country. Regardless, I find Dan Cooper’s gentleman crime quite fascinating.

[@Vollification]

@@Legionmint7091 I think if he died out in the woods someone would have found him or say leftovers from the parachute or similar. My guess he stashed some of the loot out in the wild "just in case" he was found out and had to bolt. The rest likely went into a "number account" in Bermuda or Cayman Islands, he obviously never spent any and back in those days tax-havens never asked any questions.
