Who else was on the edge of their seat while watching this incredible recounting of a high-stakes hijacking from the 1970s? It's fascinating to see how different airport security was back then. What are your thoughts on the measures taken by law enforcement to handle this intense situation?
I remember hearing about hijackings when I was a little girl. My mom was terrified because Dad did a lot of air travel for his job.
I think the law enforcement and the FBI did what they could. I mean, they had like zero security, so they had to rely on the goodwill of onboarding passengers to be decent people. Then this happens. Frankly, anything could happen. He could've been bluffing, but they couldn't take any chances.
Where is part 2?
this was bs,no ending my last show
I gave the show a dislike and unsubscribed because of the ad and shitty ending

50mph tailwind was not the only thing keeping the plane aloft.
Did they ever catch him ?
I was kinda rooting for this hijacker as he didn’t kill or hurt anyone. Also, he was clever. He played the FBI well.
They caught her him 2 days after. Then he escaped from prison with 3 other convicts.
2 convicts were caught 3 days later.
He was caught 3 months later when he walked into his home w/the 3rd convict.
He shot at the FBI agents and they opened fire and dude went to kiss the ground FOREVER!
The other convict tried to getaway in a car and was caught shortly after.
Interesting enough, McCoy’s widowed sued her previous lawyer and a few authors regarding the misinterpretation of her involvement in their books. She claimed she was innocent, but due to court proceedings she wasn’t. Interestingly enough she wasn’t attested, yet the authors were demanded to pay her and they settled it. WTF? lmfao.
Is this the old day when the FBI just do their jobs and not being political?
Fear Allah unseen
Most hijackers have been non American but this guy was an American right?
What happened then, what kind of ending was that, was he caught or not?

Richard Floyd McCoy, Jr. was caught
Richard McCoy, Jr. was caught two days later. He was hitchhiking in the jumpsuit, so the guy who picked him up found him to be suspicious enough to notify authorities. Wikipedia has more information than I expected, so you might want to check it out!
These “movie of the week” ones are 2 parters. The rest of the story will be uploaded in a few days
He escaped prison 1974 and was shot dead by an FBI agent
Great story. I’m amazed that after Cooper there wasn’t more security but I suppose $500,000 was cheap compared to putting security systems in place.
I'm wondering y is it when he asked the stewardesses to let all passengers exit they and the pilots didnt just rush off the plane.
Fear Allah
Good thinking.
Instead of watching films tricks, I love ❤️ watching real videos like this. I'm I making sense.

I watched this similar episode on ALFRED HITCHCOCK PRESENTS or tales of the unexpected . In story, pilots and crew reported a hijack but ended up dividing money among themselves. I'll check on the correct title of episode
Worked for major airline most of us don't care as long as we get paid. Pilots splitting $ is standard practice. I used to sell First Class for cash I made mega bucks again standard practice. Everyone loves $$$ and everyone does it. I've seen everything.

It was just more.easy to High Jack a plane during those times because ALL screening and security was NOT that strong.. i must say this High Jacker was a Phantom Genius to FOOL federal agents that are Highly Educated.. the most interesting thing he NEVER did harm to any passengers or flight girls! He mainly wanted the money 💲💰💰💲 and to escape. This was the most appealing case in history. I did NOT support High Jacking because many lives are at risk including the Pilots! It was ALL well planed by the stranger. Most certainly he knew exactly what he was doing and he turned out to be invisible! Amazing! .did they ever catch him?! 📀📀📀📀📀

Wow this guy is good very good . He had everything all planned out in every detail. Now the burning question is ,is this D.B. Cooper again . This is the 1st time I have heard about a 2nd hijack . A very compelling story but what happened Did this guy avoid the laws . Did he make a clean get away ? I mean who ever put this story out needs to say what happened . And how come this skyjacking did not get much news attention . I think from the way D.B Coooper did this and now this is exactually this same way has D.B.Cooper did it so the chances are he did it again this time with half a million dollars
Someone with the link to the full story pleas post???!
He was caught. His name was Richard McCoy Jr. He got convicted but later escaped and was killed in a shootout. Some still think he was D. B. Cooper because of some it was similar to that hijacking.

Hijacker Richard McCoy also known as D.B. Cooper✈️
Convicts should never be on planes
The convict provided the fbi with the only description of the Hijacker, prior to him changing into disguise.
The non convict was the one who hijacked the plane.
But I get what you mean, as a hijacking could be arranged as a means of freeing a convict.

Duh! What the heck? Talk about a full stop. So what happened? Was he ever found or the cash show up?
Im left wondering if he was in fact DB Cooper, though Ive always been of the opinion that he drowned as some of the cash was found washed up on th shore.
I kinda hope that they both got away with it.

Did he ever get caught. That was a stupid picture
Yea he was caught. Richard McCoy Jr was his name and he was convicted and later escaped and got killed in a shoot out.
I ❤ the girl and ❤ music 😊😊😊
Same guy obviously £500'000 dollars in 1972 in today's money must be in the millions.
This will last a lifetime if spent wisely.
He has the back of the aircraft door open and could see small towns lit up and would know where jump ..
He has a lot of knowledge about how the FBI works.
Maybe had a relative in the agency.
He did his home work and knowledge of parachuting .
And knew the chutes would of been bugged .
There's more to this than meets the nose
Can any of the gun experts here tell me what's the difference between that very long scope and the regular sized scope on the sharpshooters' rifles?
Just an old scope setup from like ww1
@@craigfurmomma7774 Thanks!
I guess one can see further
They are older designs but many snipers liked them because they have less peripheral interference and are better for low light conditions when compared to the more common short scope of the time. This was almost 50 years ago.

Okay, I now know how the name came about (the UNiversity Airline BOMber) but I'd have thought it woud have made sense spelled "Unibmber," as he aced alone.
wtf....??? why such a abrupt ending?? wtf is that for a gossip nonsens Watson??
I think at that point, the crew should have alerted ATC and said were returning to airport weve keyed microphone.
Convicts even bwith an officer with them shouldnt be allowed on normal flight they should be on seperate planes
Nowadays passengers woukd have yelledcto everyone that a passenger had a granade thankfully metal detectors and scanners are now in being, i vadely remenbervid be about 14 year old when three planes were hijacked in libya, they evacuated passengers, but i don't remember if it was cpolice or hijackers who blow up plane i remember that vit was a big unheard of thing in yhose days.
On the MD-80's and 727's they have rear stairs after DB Cooper they installed what is called the "Cooper Vein" keeps back door locked when in flight

The narrator said that the only thing keeping the plane flying was a thirty kilometer/ hour tailwind ! Wrong, tailwinds act in the opposite direction. They act to slow a plane down.
2:13-2:22 That was not Standard Operating Procedure. It was Standar Operating Idiocy. A lot of shit had to happen before they learned the lesson.
