Date: December 17th, 2025 12:40 PM Author: domesticated hateful trailer park I'm not a expert on parachutes, but from what I have read, a trained Navy Seal paratrooper would have had trouble surviving a jump at night into a forested area during high wind and bad weather. So I'm guessing he probably did not. But crazier things have happened. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5811298&forum_id=2\u0026show=6hr#49516674) |

Date: December 17th, 2025 3:53 PM Author: concupiscible filthpig background story I think the stuff about the cash is pretty dispositive that he didn’t maek it. Specifically that a kid found $5k of it in the woods years later and none of the other bills ever turned up anywhere in the banking system (FBI recorded the serial number of every bill) (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5811298&forum_id=2\u0026show=6hr#49517269) |

And, yes, I think he survived. They would have found the chute and more of the money if he had not. |

Date: December 17th, 2025 4:40 PM Author: Razzle deep nursing home Re surviving the jump: It was nbd. 5 guys did copycat hijackings. All 5 survived their jumps. Guys at my high school, etc.
People act like Cooper jumped over the dark heart of the North Cascades in the winter. It was November. And he jumped over flat farmland near the Oregon border. This store was robbed a few hours after the hijacking: https://maps.app.goo.gl/bSGswm1srpX3NwMy8. The robber took only survival items, such as beef jerky, gloves, and cigarettes (Cooper was chain smoking on the plane).
Re the money: It's possible that: (a) he dropped the money before or during the jump; (b) he buried the money and didn't come back for it; (c) he spent the money and the FBI just never saw any of it; or (d) he did it for the love of the game, not the money.
