How it all started
On Nov. 24, 1971, a calm, middle-age man calling himself Dan Cooper bought a ticket for a Northwest Airlines flight to Seattle. Shortly after takeoff, he handed a note to stewardess Florence Schaffner. Thinking the man was trying to "hustle" her, she stuffed the note in her purse, but he motioned for her to read it. The note said he had a bomb, and wanted to go to Mexico. While the jet circled Seattle before landing, the skyjacker also ordered that $200,000 cash and four parachutes be brought to the plane. The airline agreed, 36 passengers and part of the crew were allowed to leave, and the plane took off with the man and his ransom. As it flew south, the rear airstair was lowered, and minutes later the plane reacted in a manner that convinced the crew that the skyjacker had bailed out somewhere in the Lewis River-Lake Merwin area east of Woodland. Thus began the legend of D.B. Cooper (the name Dan Cooper somehow got lost in news media accounts of the incident.) Cooper has never been found, but interest in the case is still strong, and flared Tuesday when the FBI announced a Vancouver family had found several thousand dollars of the ransom money on a Columbia River beach northwest of Vancouver. Several stories about the case appear in today's issue of The Daily News.
