History

In 1971, an unremarkable man bought a plane ticket, calling himself Dan Cooper. Previously, there was no special attention to security, so tickets were sold simply for money, without requiring proof of identity. He got on the plane and did not attract attention. After 8 minutes of flight, Dan handed over a note to the stewardess, in which he indicated that he needed a parachute, fuel, 200 thousand dollars in ransom, otherwise the bomb would explode. The girl took the note to the captain, who agreed with the airport staff to fulfill the conditions of the criminal.

After landing, Cooper was given everything he demanded. The civilians were disembarked, but the working personnel remained because the man ordered to take off and follow to Mexico City. During the flight, Dan closed the stewardesses in the toilet and jumped out of the plane. Nobody else saw him. Police still don’t know if the man survived, but some of the bills given to Cooper were found at the alleged landing site.

An amazing story instantly resonated in the hearts of people. Some speculate that the perpetrator died due to bad weather that day, while others argue that the story is a fabrication. What do you think?
