DB Cooper: The Unbelievable True Crime Story That Inspired Loki Episode 1
On 6/9/21 at 9:30 AM EDT
After more than two years of waiting, Loki is finally here. There is so much to unpack from the first episode, especially the niche historical reference made to infamous plane hijacker, DB Cooper.
Midway through the first episode, Owen Wilson s Mobius M. Mobius took Loki (played by Tom Hiddleston), through an epic vision quest.
At one point, Mobius stopped at one of his favourite moments in Loki s existence particularly that one time Loki hijacked a plane and parachuted out the back, before making his way back to Asgard.

Rolling Stone Ricardo Nagaoka for Rolling Stone The Missing Piece of the D.B. Cooper Story Many saw flight attendant Tina Mucklow as the key to the mysterious skyjacking. But does her story hold the answers?
By
It was November 24th, 1971, the day before Thanksgiving, and Tina Mucklow and her Twin Cities-based flight crew three flight attendants and three pilots were beginning what should have been four or five days of flying, working through the holiday. Mucklow was the newest hire and lowest-ranked flight attendant. At a stop in Portland, Oregon, she busied herself icing glasses in her role as “galley girl,” as passengers boarded and storm clouds gathered overhead. Northwest Orient had a policy to pamper their customers by serving beverages before takeoff. Her colleague Florence Schaffner started serving from the back of the main cabin; she worked from the front.

When
John Dower first heard about the D.B. Cooper skyjacking, the British filmmaker was “really fucking annoyed” he hadn’t learned of the incredible caper sooner.
“You think, It can’t be true; it’s bonkers,” Dower told
Vanity Fair over Zoom last week, speaking from his office, where he sat in front of stacks of books about the unsolved crime. “It’s just such a crazy story.”
On Thanksgiving eve in 1971, a man wearing a suit and black tie boarded a Boeing 727 in Portland. Once on board, the man who gave the name Dan Cooper sparked a cigarette, ordered a bourbon and soda, and handed the flight attendant a note alleging that he had a bomb in his attaché case. He demanded $200,000 in ransom (over $1.2 million today) and four parachutes. The flight crew relayed the demand to law enforcement and, during an emergency stop, Cooper received his money. The plane returned to the air and Cooper parachuted out, never to be publicly seen or heard from again.
