My project is on D.B. Cooper who is known for his famous airplane hijack. D.B. Cooper was getting on Airlines flight #305 in Portland bound for Seattle. While the plane was in the air he told a flight attendant that he had a bomb in his briefcase by opening his briefcase showing some exposed cables. He demanded 200k in cash (1.2 million in today’s value), four parachutes and food for the crew before releasing the passengers. The 200k he demanded were in twenty dollars bills, he tied the bag of money to himself he jumped off the plane somewhere North of Portland. Approximately 1,000 troops searched for D.B Cooper or his body but there was no sign of his body the money nor the parachutes he used. Nine years later there was a young boy digging a fire pit where he discovered three bundles of cash this was one clue to D.B Cooper disappearance. Upon this clue FBI searched the hole beach, the river was dredged by Cooper Hunters and theories on where the money ended this supercharged D.B Cooper legend. I believe that D.B Cooper never died nor that he escaped with the money. My reason for believing that he didn’t die is because the parachutes nor his body was found. Another reason is because there was a kid who found some of the money whiling digging a fire pit. The amount of money found was $5,800, which…

D.B. Cooper: The Unsolved Hijacking “Miss. You’d better look at that note. I have a bomb,”. This quote from Cooper is what began the infamous hijacking in 1971 (Gray). There is still plenty of debate about whether or not he survived the jump that enabled him to get away on that night. This debate stems from the plethora of facts that can back up either side of the story. Who knows how it has been over forty years with the case still open and still unsolved. Although it may never be proven…

For example, the males in The Big Bang Theory are all scientists. Leonard Hofstadter is an experimental physicist at Caltech in Pasadena, Sheldon Cooper works as a theoretical physicist at Caltech, Howard Wolowitz works as an aerospace engineer and former NASA astronaut at Caltech in Pasadena, and Raj Koothrappali is an Indian-born astrophysicist who lives in Pasadena and works at Caltech. Unfortunately, one of the main women characters in The Big Bang Theory is another story. Penny is a…
the sound foundation for “The fine art of sighing”. By definition according to Merriam Webster Dictionary, sighing is “to take a deep audible breath (as in weariness or relief)” however through the depth of Cooper 's writing we find that sighing is a passage to many other emotions and avenues(“sigh”). Although not clearly evident at the surface of his piece, the writing style of “the fine art of sighing” suggest Bernard Cooper himself finds sighing to be a blockade in relationships and trivial…
