"INTO THIN AIR: THE D.B. COOPER HIJACKING - PART 1"
Update: 2025-11-29
Description
Reid Carter explores America's only unsolved airline hijacking—54 years ago this week. November 24, 1971: A man calling himself Dan Cooper boarded Northwest Orient Flight 305 in Portland, showed flight attendant Florence Schaffner a bomb, and demanded $200,000 and four parachutes. After releasing 36 passengers in Seattle, Cooper ordered the crew to fly toward Mexico at 10,000 feet. Somewhere over the dark forests of southwestern Washington, he lowered the rear stairs, strapped $200,000 to his chest, and jumped into a freezing rainstorm. He was never seen again. The FBI searched for 45 years. Found nothing.
