Monday morning quarterbacking aside, half the country used to wear tee-shirts saying, WHERE'S DB COOPER?

We must have hung around with the same people, Jack! There's a restaurant in Nashua NH (at there was when I lived there) called D.B. Cooper's which was a popular spot for Happy Hour.

He was the first person to hijack an airplane for cash.

Actually, not so. He was just the first to use the method of exiting the aircraft in flight after hijacking it for money.

His body is likely somewhere near the dense forest surrounding Mt Adam since he also didn't have the sense to wear a helmet or proper clothing for skydiving as well.

His actions did start metal searches at airports and door... [ More ]

The big dig is a much bigger rip off than what DB Cooper could have pulled off. Enron and worldcom also are good seconds if not in first place.

Might be a ripoff, but it isn't the world's biggest ripoff

That was done by a dude named D.B. Cooper.

Everything since takes second place.
