On Thanksgiving eve, November 24, 1971, a man used the name "Dan Cooper" and paid cash for a one-way airline ticket from Portland, Oregon to Seattle, Washington. Once on board, the un-known man was able to hijack the plane by saying he had a bomb. He made several demands in which one was for $200,000. All his demands were met and he was able to escape by jumping from the plane. The man was never caught and very few evidence was ever found, but over the years there have been many suspects and theories about who Dan Cooper might be.
