Default Re: d.b. cooper first sky jacker

This occurred in my old neck of the woods and I recall vividly the media attention and hype of this incident. It was quite a sensation and grew every day Cooper remained unfound. It was talked about endlessly and when the hunt was called off (for the body in the woods) Cooper was firmly planted into myth and has grown ever since. Whether his bleached bones and teeth will ever turn up or he spent his life in Uruguay on the Beach is just the type of story that fascinates and resonates with many Americans. I even remember seeing bumber stickers with 'D.B.Cooper Lives' on them not that long after the incident.
