We have a Leah Takeover Episode!

This week on Hashtag History, we will be discussing the mystery of DB Cooper. On November 24, 1971, a then-unidentified man hijacked Northwest Orient Airlines Flight 305, traveling from Portland to Seattle. During the flight, the hijacker informed the crew that he had a bomb and demanded $200,000 in ransom, plus four parachutes upon landing in Seattle. After landing in Seattle, the passengers were released, the money and parachutes were handed over, the plane was refueled, and the crew and the hijacker took off with a destination of Mexico City (and a plan to stop in Reno to refuel again).

However, the hijacker never made it to Mexico City, as about thirty minutes into the flight, he opened the door and parachuted into the night over southwestern Washington State forests. The hijacker was never seen or heard from again. He was dubbed "DB Cooper" by the media, but his true identity has not been discovered to this day…or has it?

The FBI has recently reopened this case, due to some newly surfaced evidence, and the case may finally be solved. We will get into all of this and more in today's episode.
