Flight Attendant from D.B. Cooper Skyjacking Revisits Infamous Caper

A flight attendant who played a key role in the infamous D.B. Cooper skyjacking case has granted a rare interview in which she revisits the infamous event. In a fascinating piece from Rolling Stone, Tina Mucklow recounted working the now-legendary November 24th, 1971 flight in which a still-unidentified individual hijacked the airliner with what he claimed was a bomb and subsequently received $200,000 in ransom from authorities before parachuting from aircraft into oblivion.

The former flight attendant's story has long fascinating students of the D.B. Cooper case as Mucklow was forced to sit next to the skyjacker while the incident unfolded and, by nature of that strange twist of fate, likely had more interaction with the mysterious man behind the caper than anyone else. Tasked with passing communications between the back of the airliner, where Cooper sat, and the cockpit, she recalled how "I was there for the hijacker to kind of keep him feeling safe, reassured, comfortable and not detonating that bomb."
