@@mubashermaroof7876 Not necessarily, their are many people who can live well into their nineties and considering how much guts it would've taken to pull a stunt like Cooper did. I'd to think he could be that old. It's a possibility.

Boring

Same thing I said.

Not very "common" if even the FBI couldn't catch him.

Exactly same thing I felt but it's just sour grapes from the Fbi Imagine having to bow down to a simple criminal 🤣🤣🤣

He probably died somewhere in the woods.

No that's not true, he was ratfucked by the goverment. Served his country with honor. FBI is a dung cesspool

True

not a legend. a criminal

"nobody was hurt" true, but he wasted unfathomable amounts of time, money, and manpower that was spent trying to bring him to justice for his crime. Also, the airport as well as the banks and insurance companies ultimately lost money during the scandal as the deficit was passed and increased along the chain of responsibility, and ultimately contributed to the raising of prices on the rest of the honest taxpayers to cover it.

I believe he died. Banknote serial numbers that was given to him never circulated in the market.

@@jonathan19900 thats the thing though....whose to say this was about the money? Do you believe he didn't realize the money would be marked and easily traced once he started spending it??? I think this guy worked for the government.....which could lead to many interesting reasons as to why he did this.......whether it be on his own volition or if he was assigned to do this for whatever bizarre reason the government would have someone do this......

Fun fact in theory if the weather had been clear I could have looked out of my bedroom window and see that very plane.

Not really because National Geographic is still promoting the lies that the FBI wants you to believe. Watch Dan Gryders documentary on youtube if you would like to know what really happened.

😊

he was approx 45 years old and that was 50 years ago. so probably not

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

😂😂😂😂

Great ROI

Biggest mistake you could ever make is to underestimate that agency.

@@bjr4567 You mean the agency that is notorious for using entrapment to get convictions. FBI aint what it once was. They break the law more often they enforce it these days.

Right

Perfect

That shows the extreme devaluation of our paper currency. Also $200k now gets you a used car or two

Not really, this was in 1971, and Portland to Seattle is a short flight.

@@LassieFarm not really, it's about pre 1973 oil prices

Yes that’s most certainly the biggest mystery here

@@LassieFarm 200k gets you a used car or 2......sounds like you have expensive taste. Used cars can be purchased for $600, going to be a shitbox, but it's better than not having a car at all.

go away with what ? jumped out and he’s dead. What a winner

I think and wish he survived what I feel like is he did survived and is still out there sipping bourbon and saying"huh fools" laughing at the face of authorities

yes, very well planned, but doubtful he survived. Just my two cents.

Or some random person found him with money and took his money and buried cooper in the ground.. May be that's why he was never found..

And the money was never spent though

😁 That's True

Surely those massive balls would have hampered his escape, especially having to jump from a plane.

I'm here because I saw this case on Unsolved Mysteries. Truly amazing!

I believe he survived

😢I believe so too

how would he survive the cold of the wilderness? and the money was never in circulation, which means he never used it. he most likely died.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

it's a great story, but the money was never spent, right. he most likely just died.

​@@gordonlekfors2708he could have done any number of things to launder the money. There's so many bills in circulation.

He did not beat the FBI. The FBI killed him in 1974. Richard Floyd McCoy. Dan Gryder made a 3 hour video explaining the story.

internet ? online education ? barely available !! hahahaha

Did he really exist or it was a plot by the flight crew.

What about mh flight 370

It has apparently now been explained by D B Cooper's surviving daughter. She didn't reveal anything until both of her parent's had passed away.

@@89turbomk3 MH370 is not really a mystery. The plane hasn’t been found but it is almost certain that the pilot was responsible. He committed suicide, taking everyone on board with him.

@@Brinta3 it is a mystery that’s why there’s a bunch of documentary’s about where the plane could be. Lol

@@mikejensen4238 True. There's so much more to him and the story than generally known. It just irks the FBI that they have never been able to find him or at least know who he truly was. As an A/C inspector I always knew he had a lot of knowledge about flying machines with some of the things he did during his escapade. As an airline employee seeing him "stick it" to the airline gave me joy.

I mean, he obv wasn't caught back then, but people go missing all the time, even non-criminals. he most likely died, as the money was never in circulation.

Google Richard Floyd McCoy. aka Cooper. McCoy got away with it, but tried the same stunt a few months later and got caught. FBI killed McCoy in 1974. Dan Gryder made a video. watch it.

The cig butts were not lost. After tests, the FBI told the lab to destroy them. It was way before DNA.

He might be one of the FBI agent?, they knew but kept quite might be

@Joe metal Well, that's a good point. But you never know -- if nothing else, it would greatly increase the chances of identifying him.

I am actually the one who found this evidence. See FBI Documents DB Cooper -3556/3557. It details the cigarette butts and a hair found on his chair when they are sent to the lab for examination. At the bottom of the document it states, "All of the above enclosures may be destroyed at the Bureau upon completion of the examination".

IF DB HAD NEVER BEEN ARRESTED, THAT DNA WOULD MEAN JACK NOTHING, YOU DO UNDERSTAND HOW IT WORKS I HOPE

It'll probably never get solved, so don't worry about it. There's no evidence to dna test and his corpse/parachutes were never found. It'll most likely remain a mystery forever

51 years...that puts him in his mid 70$....I mean 70s.

@@scottwhitworth2023 witnesses said Cooper was middle aged in 1971....40s or early 50s.

@@joinjen3854 good point, however I cannot see an old guy jumping out of an aircraft over water in freezing weather. He may have wanted people to think he was old I guess . Lots of ways to do so. Anything is possible. I hope he made it. If he did ? He earned it.

@@scottwhitworth2023 I hope Cooper made it. There was no clothes or bones on the ground. It was well planned and he was calm and cool.

He died

Maybe he had the after thought that the notes were traceable and decided not to spend it or he would get caught and instead just survived and is enjoying documentaries now on the case.

If he died then someone else must have found the money, then what happened then

How exhausting would it have been to track 20 dollars bills back then?

not every bill would have been traced. its not like every single dollar spent is examined and its serial number checked

Why didn't he spend any of the money?

@@MrSerendipity01 what do you mean?

@@MrSerendipity01 He could have spend it in a foreign nation. There are quite a few dollar reserves in other countries that never return to the source. To say he did not spend it cant be stated with such certainty.

@@MrSerendipity01 Money was not the objective of this hijacking. When Tina asked him why he chose her aircraft to hijack, he replied "I'm hijacking your aircraft because I have a grudge to settle" (from FBI documents). The money was just to taunt the FBI, the entity with whom he settled his grudge.

No he comes off as somebody who had absolutely no idea what he was doing and was too stupid to realize it. If he knew what he was doing he would not have made a jump like that at all, and would have recognized that the training chutes he requested were non functional dummies intended for classroom use and would have gotten him killed if he tried to use them

@@JS-wp4gs Only one chute was a dummy. He cut that open and put the money in it. That in the witness testimony.

Exactly what I think about not acting alone.

Hmm. Possible. But didn't he initially want to go somewhere else, until he was told the plane didn't have enough fuel? That would've totally thrown his plan off

Agreed. There were 4 parachutes. 2 mains. 1 military and older style and one civilian and brand new. He chose the military one probably because he was familiar with it Also out of the 2 backups one was a dummy mistakenly given for training. It was the real backup he tore apart probably to try and wrap the money since they gave it in the wrong type of bag than he asked for and he took the dummy one probably to hold the money. Also the rear ramp, at that time, was classified info and these planes were used during Vietnam by military and CIA to fly in troops and supplies during the war but it was classified that these civilian Boeing planes 727 had this ramp. But he knew about it. Edit: also besides it being classified the control panel in the back of the plane for it couldn't be overridden by the cockpit or anywhere else.

Have you seen the 1979 "In Search Of" episode narrated by Leonard Nimoy? It is under this title on KZfaq "In Search Of 4x11 D B Cooper" See from about 10:15 to 10:50. Nimoy states "The dam was crested with a series of brilliant lights. If Cooper could have seen these lights as he descended through the cloud layers, he would have been provided with an unmistakable landmark, he would have known exactly where he was". So, coming down by a dam like this, is it planned or just coincidence?

@@tomikaawomi5424 okokkkkokokkookkkkooookkkk

There's another documentary by sam kiley he's british journalist he made a series covering bizarre crimes and one episode covers D B Cooper its worth a watch there's the Canadian connection which he could well be i believe. i think he was a failure a failure in his career i believe he had some experience but was kicked out of the military early on with enough experience to jump and thats it he was a wannabe who couldn't hack it and he's possibly canadian that may explain why he didnt use a Firearm i believe he finally after Some planning decided to live out the movie in his head because he could never jump in a real mission or have a military career and he did this job only he's a failure it went perfectly until he jumped then it all went wrong and he's still where landed near enough scattered about an area thanks to wildlife with enough of the money making its way to the river to be washed up on the sand bank partially buried i know there were searches but that doesnt mean they looked properly remains are often overlooked and a bit of canvas is a bit of canvas to the average joe remember the first search area was nowhere near there until the money was found he'll be around that area scattered around a rotting parachute covered in vegetation or dirt .

Just like Obama - Marc Rubio

Right

Short flight and it was 1971

Seattle to Portland.

😂 facts

All that effort and to ditch the bag I think he would chance it bouncing around safety didn't seem to be the highest thing on his mind jumping out the back end of a 727 in the evening in the brutal cold

Have you watched part 2? Dan found Coopers parachute in his mom’s attic! Matches the very unique modifications known to have been made to the one supplied.

He probably got eaten by wil animal

Search up Chael sonnen DB Cooper that’s the closest you’ll ever get for info

D. B. Cooper was named Duane Weber. The hijack was an intel project authorized by Nixon called Operation Norjack. Weber survived and lived on for many years.

One thing I think it says it all about Alcatraz they didn't take them wanted posters down so that means at least in secret they thought they made it I mean you have a genius at the helm and his IQ was genius level. I mean the family gave them a picture that's clearly in South America and experts looked at the picture and said it if they believed it was the angling brothers the family members said they knew where all three of them were and they weren't going to tell them and that all three of them make it I didn't think they would attempt it unless they were pretty sure they could make it and with a genius at the helm it seems likely

As far as DB Cooper whose name was actually signed Dan Cooper I don't think the money was the reason he done that I think he done that to prove he could get away with it. When the lady asked him why did you pick on this airlines he said I don't have a problem with this airlines I just have a problem with the whole system

@@danielwebster5748 I watched that special also and when they got the FBI facial recognition guy to try and match up the picture from South America, I believe it was in Brazil,and he said that he believes that it was them and from everything that their family said I believe that they made it out. Those were different times then and I believe that they definitely escaped from Alcatraz.

I like how u think

and this crew buried some of the money? and the rest was never spent.

and where they hid the money or how they got it off the plane without being seen or registered by the authorities?

@@ssartre5240 Good point. I suppose it wouldn't be too difficult since they always have bags... so long as they weren't searched. Just a thought tho.

​@@pippin_bc it occurred to me that the police should have covered all possibilities. Although they did not check as much as they do today, it seems logical that in the face of a heist of that magnitude they were thorough in the review of the plane, as well as in the review of the passengers who get off, some of them could have taken the money too, if the kidnapper let them go after receiving the money.
