Dee Cooper Hijacking

In 1917, an unknown young man named Dee Bee Cooper hijacked a Boeing 727 with passengers on board. To release the hostages, he put forward a demand of $ 200,000 and four parachutes.

To this day, the authorities cannot explain where the culprit of the crime went, because his traces were never found.
