Remember in Ocean\u2019s Eleven when George Clooney boarded a plane wearing a dark suit and tie and opened his brief case showing a bomb to the flight attendant and hijacked the plane? Then he demanded 200K in cash, four parachutes and food for the crew before releasing all the passengers. Classic Clooney amirite?!? Then 45 minutes after takeoff, Clooney sent the flight attendant to the cockpit while donning the parachute, tied the bank bag full of the money to himself, and jumped into the night. When the plane landed, all they found were two leftover parachutes and the tie Clooney had been wearing\u2026our suave protagonist was never caught\u2026classic Clooney! OK \u2013 that wasn\u2019t actually from Ocean\u2019s Eleven and George Clooney wasn\u2019t involved \u2013 but it ACTUALLY DID HAPPEN! That\u2019s the basic story behind the mysterious hijacking and disappearance of DB Cooper in the Pacific Northwest in the early 70s. Did he actually get away with the only unsolved hijacking in US History? Could he have survived the jump? Where did the money go? Is a bourbon and soda the suavest drink to order while hijacking a plane? Plus, Nicolas Cage threatens Conspiracy Bot (he didn\u2019t like Captain Correli\u2019s Violin), we discuss the unfortunate turn Nic\u2019s movies have taken as of late, and also talk our favorite CAGE flicks. So, yeah, in retrospect\u2026lots of Nic Cage. All of that and more on the podcast that believes the only good airplane to hijack is CON AIR \u2013 Hysteria 51.
