Update - NOT the D.B. Cooper parachute

Tuesday, April 1st, 2008

The torn, tangled parachute found recently by children along a dirt road could not have been the one used by D.B. Cooper back in 1971 during his infamous hijacking.  The man who packed the parachutes for the skyjacker, Earl Cossey, examined the chute for the FBI on Friday. The ones he provided for D.B. Cooper were made of nylon. The one found by the kids was silk, probably made around 1945. Cooper bailed out of the rear of a Northwest Orient Boeing 727 passenger jet with $200,000 in ransom near the Oregon-Washington border on the night of Nov. 24, 1971.

Good thing Jay Leno didn’t prank Jodie Foster with this one!
