Everyone loves get rich quick plans. Just before Thanksgiving in 1971, a mysterious man in a business suit boarded a plane. He had a briefcase, a bomb, and his own get rich quick plan. The man would soon be known world wide as D.B. Cooper. 

D.B. Cooper hijacked the plane, held the passenger hostage for a ransom money, then he vanished into thin air. 

This case was actively being investigated by the FBI for 45 years. D.B. Cooper has become a cultural phenomenon. He's been a story line in moves and T.V. shows like Without a Paddle, Prison Break, and Blacklist.
