What does the scan show?
A person reads every report. Corrections are made by hand, to the data — titles, dates, names, which pages belong together — never to the scans, and they can take a while to appear.

D. B. Cooper Revisited
For those empty-headed enough to glorify the Thanksgiving Eve skyjacking of a Northwest Orient Airlines plane by the infamous and probably pseudonymous D. B. Cooper, ample reason for not doing so was provided on Christmas Eve.
On another Northwest Orient flight, from Minneapolis to Chicago, another skyjacker obviously attempted to plagiarize D. B. Cooper's script.
The Christmas Eve bandit, armed with a pistol and claiming to carry seven sticks of dynamite, threatened to blow up a Boeing 707 unless he was given $300,000 and parachutes.
The Christmas Eve skyjacker, however, lacked his predecessor's finesse. He got his money and his parachutes but he was left without a pilot to fly him away from Chicago's O'Hare Airport, where he was apprehended.
The point is that D. B. Cooper's escapade clearly was the inspiration for the attempted robbery, which endangered the lives of the 34 persons aboard the jetliner. Lord knows how many more larcenous and or addle-brained individuals may be mulling over similar plots.
AS FOR THE notorious D.B. Cooper, who disappeared with $200,000 from a Boeing 727 between here and Reno, Nev., we predict he eventually will be captured, if his remains aren't impaled on an isolated pine tree somewhere in the western wilds, and his hero-worshipers made to see the folly of their admiration.
