Dan Cooper
plane hijacking
Yazmin Garza
I have only known about this case for a little while, but it is definitely one of my favorite unsolved cases. I love the mystery that surrounds it. Where did Dan Cooper go? Why did he request the money if he was just going to leave it in a river? Did he have an accomplice or did he do it on his own? Because of his attitude toward the air hostess, I always wondered if he was doing what he was doing by his own free will or if he was an ordinary Joe that was being forced into it by someone else. I really hope that one day this case is solved and that rest of the story is as cool as the part we already have.

I remember seeing a video on this once, and I was worried that this article would of missed some key points but it did that and more. The article did a wonderful job on the information and detail. Its interesting to read about how oriented the man was, he was so committed to this crime.

I really enjoyed the mystery in this story. I have never heard of anything like it before, and now my attention is very much grabbed and I would like to find out who this Dan Cooper was. The situation itself is very strange and abnormal, considering most hijackers normally are harsh and demanding, but he seemed calm and pleasant. I liked this article a lot and would for sure want to hear of an end result.

This was an exciting article that I couldn’t help but wonder what was going to happen next. The description of this mystery is very entertaining. A few insights of mine from reading this article are that: I found it off-putting that someone who was demanding lots of money and claimed to have a bomb could talk in such a “calm, polite, and well-spoken” manner, I thought it was strange that Cooper asked for the money to be only $20 bills; however, I also thought that it was incredibly smart on the authorities’ end that they made sure that all the $20 bills had serial numbers that started with L so that they would be easier to track, and the fact that Cooper specified exactly how he wanted the airplane to be demonstrates that he possibly had experience in working with planes. I hope that there is another break in the case soon and it can finally be solved.

I can’t believe that this case is still unsolved to his day. It is very scary how Cooper even managed to get the bombs on the plane, and I am very happy that we now have extensive security to prevent something like this to ever happen again. I couldn’t even imagine being the pilot of this plane not knowing Cooper’s intentions and having in the back of your mind that this could be your last moments. I hope that one day some case breaking evidence surfaces and D.B. Cooper is put behind bars for his crimes.

This case is very interesting because the perpetrator, D.B Cooper, has never been seen again since the crime was committed. I find it odd how someone could threaten to bomb a plane full of people, but the way he did was seen as calm and polite. Additionally, he didn’t even take the money with him, it just makes me wonder what his true intentions were of hijacking that plane.

I don’t know much about D.B cooper but i do know that he was never caught.But this article helped fill me in on the case surrounding him what happened and what he did.I never knew that it was so interesting and cool to read about. This man was very careful with himself and personally I think he pulled it off but lost the money on the way when he was falling or something.I like all the crazy theory’s that surround him and what actually happened that day .

I’ve heard short stories on youtube about D.B. Cooper so I had a pretty good idea of his calm persona, but there are some pretty great examples in this article. I thought it was interesting that he even requested meals for the crew. I find it fascinating that this case still hasn’t been solved, although it’s probably fair to say he drowned. It’s unfortunate that we will never know what happened to this man with certainty, but with the remnants of stolen money found years later, we at least know he didn’t end up with all of the money.

Dan Cooper or at least as he identified himself seemed to be well versed with what he was doing. The fact that he knew so much about the terrain and the workings of the aircraft is quite confusing. However, it is still surprising how there hasn’t been an actual lead found and they only possible thing close to a lead were the washed up cash. His calm demeanor is also very unsettling.

This is the first time that I hear about the disappearance of D.B. Cooper. The article does an excellent job of describing the case to the audience. It is incredible that even after forty-five years, the case has yet to be resolved. It is strange to think that the case was suspended simply due to lack of evidence and it makes one think what other cases could have been suspended because of this exact situation. Overall, this article was very well written. Good work.
