In 1971, a man known as DB Cooper hijacked a Northwest Orient airliner flying from Portland, Oregon to Seattle, Washington.
After forty years of investigation.
He has never been seen since, and his identity is still unknown.
After exchanging the passengers at SEA-TAC airport for $200,000 and four parachutes, Cooper instructed the pilots to fly him to "anywhere in Mexico." A few minutes after take-off, he lowered the aft stairCase and jumped into the chilly, rainy night skies north of Portland.
