The mystery of D. B. Cooper ranks up there with mysteries such as the Loch Ness Monster or the sleeping fits of Kalachi village, and refers to an incident on the twenty fourth of November of 1971, where a man operating under the alias Dan Cooper hijacked a Boeing 727 plane midflight, halfway between Portland, Oregon and Seattle, Washington. His intent was to demand two hundred thousand dollars in ransom for the safe return of the passengers. Such a vast sum, equivalent to over a million in today's money, was eventually extorted and collected. After collecting the money, Dan Cooper parachuted and vanished. Not a single passenger or member of crew was injured in any way. The plane itself was intact. The money, and the hijacker, seemed to have disappeared into thin air. A manhunt began immediately in the area where Dan Cooper had descended, the Federal Bureau of Investigation opened their own case file and the media leapt onto the story like vultures. However despite constant searches, neither man nor money emerged.
