As someone who has actually jumped out of a Boeing 727 I can say DB Cooper was a fucking idiot, here's why...

The mysterious hijacker was a moron

DB Cooper is the nickname of a mysterious hijacker who, in 1971, hijacked a Boeing 727 before escaping by parachute with a bag of money – and has never been identified or apprehended. With the recent release of 'D. B. Cooper, where are you?!' on Netflix, there is renewed interest in this intriguing enigma. Cooper has always interested me, even more so after I took up skydiving myself. Over the years I racked up six hours and fourteen minutes in freefall time, at 72 seconds per jump,  and was also able to join the small number of people who have actually jumped from a 727, at the World Freefall Convention in 1996. So, while I’m not going to claim to be an expert in hijacking, I can argue that my viewpoint isn’t totally uninformed.
