D.B. Cooper Hijacking
November 24, 1971
An unidentified bandit hijacks a 727 jet by claiming to have a bomb and demands $200,000 ransom and four parachutes. After receiving the ransom demands he parachuted out of the plane with the money and was never heard from again.
He had purchased his airline ticket using the alias Dan Cooper but, a reporter mistakenly called him "D. B. Cooper" and after others repeated the error, the mistaken name stuck.
