Holding A Plane Hostage
D.B. Cooper. In 1971, some guy nobody knew walked into an airport, gave fake identification and proceeded to board the plane. Mid-flight, he revealed he had a bomb and asked for a ransom. When the plane landed, he was given $50,000 cash, three parachutes and a flight to Mexico.
Just between Oregon and Washington, he jumped out, deployed the parachutes and was never seen again.
