Episode 15 - DB Cooper

Author: All That's Interesting December 22, 2020 Duration: 14:45
On November 24, 1971, a man who identified himself as Dan Cooper bought a one-way ticket from Portland to Seattle on Northwest Orient Airlines flight #305. He paid for his ticket in cash and made his way to seat 18C.    Shortly after take-off, he summoned one of the flight attendants, Florence Schaffner, to his seat. He handed her a piece of paper. The flight attendant, believing it to be a phone number or a pick-up line, slid the note into her pocket. But the man leaned forward. “Miss,” he said. “You’d better look at that note. I have a bomb.”  https://allthatsinteresting.com/db-cooper-found-claim https://allthatsinteresting.com/podcast-credits   Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
