Well listeners, we finally did a heist episode, we had fun with it.On November 24, 1971, the night before Thanksgiving, a man identifying himself only as Dan Cooper hijacked a Northwest Airlines flight, and after receivingCooper said he had a grudge, but not against the airline.Only recently, in the 2010s civilian researchers uncovered a fascinating body of physical and circumstantial evidence peeled back layers of mystery around Cooper and strongly suggested that he was one of many thrown out of work and facing ruin in 1971 during the Boeing Bust.

And likely got away. Documents, pictures and bonus episodes at our Patreon page!: https://www.patreon.com/posts/episode-30-db-88516865
