Episode #66: The Gentleman Hijacker

Listen to the full episode on the WikiSleep app by visiting WikiSleep.comThe gentleman hijacker is the true story of one of the most daring heists in aviation history. On the day before Thanksgiving 1971, a man carrying a black briefcase boarded a plane in Portland for a short trip north to Seattle. In that briefcase was a bomb, which he used to demand the equivalent of $1.2 million dollars, four parachutes and a couple bourbon sodas before disappearing mid-flight. No one was hurt during the hijacking and it remains the only unsolved case of air piracy in commercial aviation history. #wikisleep #sleepstories #sleep #DBCooper #hijacking #wikisleeppodcast By becoming a WikiSleep member, you're investing in your own ad-free sleep health—and sleep health is mental health.
