PARA bane” Aen Tn tT ratte om lh nN a on, ae nites laaitele tad can oP The Crime A lone white male using the name Dan Cooper boarded Northwest Orient Airlines Flight No. 3805 at Portland, Oreg., on November 24, 1971. At approximately 3:22 p.m., while the flight was en route to Seat- tle, Wash., he indicated to a stew- ardess that his briefcase contained a bomb which would blow up the plane unless his demands were met. The hijacker demanded $200,000 and four parachutes in exchange for the safety of the 36 passengers aboard the plane. When the aircraft landed at Seattle, Northwest Orient Airlines complied with his instruc- tions. After he received the parachutes and money, the hijacker allowed all passengers and two of the airline stewardesses to deplane, He then ordered the remaining crew members into the first-class section of the airéraft and informed them he desired to fly to Mexico City. The hi- jacker instructed that the plane pro- ceed in a southerly direction and fly at a low altitude and slow speed which en- abled the rear door of ihe plane to be opened during the flight. 32 A NIE ENN, ELEY ENOL PCLT 5, LAE AT ILE, EE EET TT LF TE Bt . . . “ oe 2 .
