story here
On Thanksgiving Eve in 1971, a man who gave the name Dan Cooper bought a ticket for a Northwest flight from Portland, Ore., to Seattle.
Shortly after the plane took off, the man handed the flight attendant a note, saying he had a bomb. He wanted $200,000 in cash and two parachutes when he landed in Seattle.
The money was brought aboard the plane, which took off for Mexico. Over southern Washington, the hijacker jumped out the back door of the plane into the freezing rain - and was never seen again.
The name was fake. Some of the money was found years later in the mountains.
