Bizarre Mysteries That Remain Unsolved to This Day

DB Cooper

On November 24, 1971, a man known as DB Cooper boarded a flight from Portland to Seattle. He then hijacked the plane with a briefcase that he claimed to contain a bomb. In Seattle, Cooper let all 36 passengers disembark and demanded $200,000 and several parachutes from authorities. He instructed the pilots to fly to Mexico remaining slow and low to the ground with the rear door unlocked. Nobody ever saw or heard from him again. The FBI claimed he couldn't have survived the jump, but in 2017, they issued a new composite of what DB Cooper might look like today.
