The story of D.B. Cooper, the only unsolved hijacking in American history
by Futility Closet from on (#1X3A3)
In 1971 a mysterious man hijacked an airliner in Portland, Oregon, demanding $200,000 and four parachutes. He bailed out somewhere over southwestern Washington and has never been seen again. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll tell the story of D.B. Cooper, the only unsolved hijacking in American history.
We'll also hear some musical disk drives and puzzle over a bicyclist's narrow escape.
