All Things Morbid

Now, this case is a pretty open-and-shut one: A guy hijacks a plane, orders it to land in Seattle to pick up 200,000 dollars. [ In today’s money that would be 2,000,000 dollars. ] And then jumps off the plane, never to be seen again. Just another Tuesday, right?

Presumably, the guy is dead. But, one thing makes you think: If the guy jumped out of the airplane – on purpose – wouldn’t he have a plan not to die? This fact, that he jumped out of the airplane of purpose, has changed this story into myth, so many people with different theories of how this guy has survived. And how do we know he isn’t dead?

The never found his body.

*Cue the dramatic music*

So yeah, D.B. Cooper might not have died, but because I’m a realist and I like to ruin every one’s fun, I am pretty certain that he is dead.

After all, how could someone survive a jump from 30,000 feet in the sky?

Was he mentally insane, or a criminal genius?

Did he spend the money on lots of donuts, or chocolate?

…

Sorry, the last question was my craving for sweet, sweet, sugar put into words.

So, yes, its a pretty open-and-shut case, and an interesting one nonetheless. Thank you, bloggers, and blog readers for humoring my monologue about cash and jumping out of planes, and I will post something later.

Just one more thing: Kids, don’t jump out of plane’s with 200,000 dollars in cash. That would be a waste of good money. And your life.

Thanks for reading!
