Amazing. The FBI can not find the criminals bringing drugs into the nation, can not find out who was responsible for building 7 dropping, can not, frankly, find their asses with both hands AND a flashlight.... but they can keep people's attention away from reality with non-sense like this! 2 hours, 11 minutes ago PORTLAND, Ore. - The FBI is making a new stab at identifying mysterious skyjacker Dan Cooper, who bailed out of an airliner in 1971 and vanished, releasing new details that it hopes will jog someone's memory. The man calling himself Dan Cooper, also known as D.B. Cooper, boarded a Northwest flight in Portland for a flight to Seattle on the night of Nov, 24, 1971, and commandeered the plane, claiming he had dynamite. In Seattle, he demanded and got $200,000 and four parachutes and demanded to be flown to Mexico. Somewhere over southwestern Washington, he jumped out the plane's tail exit with two of the chutes. On Monday, the FBI released drawings that it said probably are close to what Cooper looked like, along with a map of areas where Cooper might have landed. "Who was Cooper? Did he survive the jump? We're providing new information and pictures and asking for your help in solving the case," the FBI said in a statement. The FBI said that while Cooper was originally thought to have been an experienced jumper, it has since concluded that was wrong and that he almost certainly didn't survive the jump in the dark and rain. He hadn't specified a route for the plane to fly and had no way of knowing where he was when he went out the exit. "Diving into the wilderness without a plan, without the right equipment, in such terrible conditions, he probably never even got his chute open," Seattle-based agent Larry Carr said. He also didn't notice that his reserve chute was intended only for training and had been sewn shut. Several people have claimed to be Cooper over the years but were dismissed on the basis of physical descriptions, parachuting experience and, later, by DNA evidence recovered in 2001 from the cheap tie the skyjacker left on the plane. In 1980, a boy walking near the Columbia River found $5,800 of the stolen money, in tattered $20 bills. "Maybe a hydrologist can use the latest technology to trace the $5,800 in ransom money found in 1980 to where Cooper landed upstream," Carr said. "Or maybe someone just remembers that odd uncle." ___ On the Net: FBI on Cooper: www.fbi.gov/page2/dec07/dbcooper123107.html

Law Enforcement Against Prohibition "Corporation: An entity created for the legal protection of its human parasites, whose sole purpose is profit and self-perpetuation." © IndieTx Based on recent article I read he evidently survived the escape with most of the money - and lived quietly and modestly while using the money to help others. This was per accounts by relatives and people who apparently knew him. He passed on a couple of years ago - from a natural death.

How much will the FBI spend reopening this case.
Ron Paul for President - Join a Ron Paul Meetup group today! DB is my hero and the last people I would help is the FBI.
Must be a mutually idiotic admiration celebration.
"We just wanted to say 'hijacker' again, and that's about it." - unattributed.
lol - I believe it!
Ron Paul for President - Join a Ron Paul Meetup group today! In every respect. At all times. In any regard. For any purpose. Against anyone. Ever.
When a man who is honestly mistaken hears the truth, he will either quit being mistaken or cease to be honest.
He also didn't notice that his reserve chute was intended only for training and had been sewn shut.
