Biography[]
D.B. Cooper Hijacking[]
In November 1971, William A. Scott served as the pilot of Northwest Orient Airlines flight 305 from Portland to Seattle. In the middle of the flight, Scott was forced to land the plane due to a bomb threat made by a passenger going by the name of "D. B. Cooper" and his request for a two hundred thousand dollar ransom. To comply with the hijacker's demands, the plane landed, exchanging the passengers on the plane for the ransom money and backup parachutes for his escape. After the plane had taken off again, "Cooper" collected his ransom and then proceeded to jump off the airplane wearing the parachute. The hijacker completely disappeared afterwards, leaving only a few twenty dollar bills in his wake. The authorities were unable to solve the case, causing the identity of D. B. Cooper and his whereabouts to become one of Earth's many unsolved mysteries.[1]
