@joaquinmurrieta1850 .....go to this video here on youtube,,,,,"D B cooper: the surviving evidence"

[joaquinmurrieta1850]

@TheArizonaMark Here you go fellow readers: An expert testimony from an ex-paratrooper that the jump could indeed have been an impossible "live to tell about it" SAGA.

[joaquinmurrieta1850]

@inkey2 Thanks for the info. I will check this video out.

[inkey2]

@joaquinmurrieta1850 yeah, there is a video here on youtube where an FBI agent shows the cheap tie and tie tack.....very plain and nondescript. I wonder if they have the brief case he carried with the fake explosives or if he jumped with it.........also, I rember hearing that at one time they had his Raliegh cigarette butts but they were either disposed of or lost.....of course noboday back then could have invisioned DNA testing so they may have just thrown them out

[joaquinmurrieta1850]

@inkey2 Wow, I was never aware that the FBI did in fact have his tie. It is still a mistery that to this day nobody has identified this Cooper enigma. I'm going to say that DB Cooper was just a ficticious name he chose to evade authorities should he have completed his dramatic jump. Froze to death in the lake within minutes after the wind blew him there, I think.

@joaquinmurrieta1850 I have been saying what you are saying for years, practically word for word.....yeah, A guy in a cheesy 1960s/70s rayon suit and dress shoes lived through a jump like that....no way. (just one correction to your posting....the FBI has coopers tie and tie tack....he did not jump with it...left it in the plane

@GarthanSaal444 nobody is gonna try to land NEAR a river with a unmaneuverable chute in pitch blackness Dude....your begging to die.....I have personally seen several recreations in a warm pool where using that outdated chute the guy need help to untangle before he would of drown...let alone in sub freezing temps in complete darkness..and SOME of the money fell out??...not one of those twenties has EVER been found in circulation to this day...why??...cause it's in the water w/ cooper's body

[TheArizonaMark]

@GarthanSaal444 Really??...were you wearing a business suit and loafers??...did you get dropped in below freezing temp water in PITCH Blackness maybe 300 feet from a shore with less than 5 minutes of certain hypothermia death...nope it was in a warm pool 10 feet from the edge..he chose a ww2 chute that was unsteerable instead of the sports chute...total rookie mistake...look man...he landed in 22 degree water in the middle of a lake and succumb to hypothermia within minutes

[GarthanSaal444]

@TheArizonaMark I too was a paratrooper, who landed in the water at Ft. Benning Jump School. I didn't need to get rescued. In the wind, the chute won't drop on top of you.

I was in the 82nd for nearly 3 years.

Cooper's bag may not have been secured, and some of that cash fell out in the dark.

I think he made that flight a few times, noticed how long it took to reach the Columbia, and jumped where he would be close to the river, his point of reference.

@GarthanSaal444 uhh...I'm an US Army ex paratrooper and if he landed in water..which in that area was about a 50/50 chance especially in the dark you will die tangled up in cord and chute....I've even seen a recreation and every time in the water the guy had to be rescued by divers on standby before he drowned...they found a good chunk of money from the high jack and there aint no way in hell he would un ass that money on purpose...notice how the money was found basically in water??
