About this listen
On the evening of November 24, 1971, a man known as Dan Cooper hijacked a Northwest Orient Airlines flight, setting off a chain of events that would become one of the greatest unsolved mysteries in American history. As the flight took off from Portland, Cooper revealed that he was armed with a bomb and demanded a ransom of $200,000 and a parachute. After successfully receiving his demands, he instructed the plane's pilots to fly low and slow, ultimately jumping out of the aircraft with the money, disappearing into the night. Despite extensive searches and numerous theories about his identity and fate, Dan Cooper, or D.B. Cooper as he became known, vanished without a trace. Join us as we explore the details of this thrilling hijacking, the investigations that followed, and the enduring mystery that captivates the world to this day.
