17 Real Life Mysteries
10. DB Cooper
Cooper’s story is legendary in its own right, partly due to the sheer ballsiness of what he did, and partly due to its mysterious nature. In 1971, he hijacked a flight between Portland and Seattle, grabbed $200,000 in ransom, and parachuted out of the plane, never to be seen again. The FBI still has an open casefile on the guy and is still looking for him, but I’m guessing he just vanished into obscurity, enjoying his fat wad of cash. By all accounts, he wasn’t the typical terrorist hijacker. He wore a neat suit, spoke calmly and eloquently, and wasn’t at all nervous. The plane landed at the destination, he got the money by letting the passengers go, the plane took off again at his demand, and he jumped out. He knew a hell of a lot about the plane, the route it needed to take, and what he needed, too. The dude was a freaking MIB.
