This is a continue for the last writing. It's a story about the case, what has been the mystery since the year 1971. It is a story of the only man, who hijacked the passenger plane and escaped by the parachute. That man is "Dan Cooper" or "Case Daniel" as some people call this mysterious case, where the man gets on the plane, hijacks it, asks million dollars for ransom, and jumps out there with a parachute.


This man is still wanted, and he presumed to die, but nobody has found his body. There is something strange things in that case because this man could carry a gun to the airplane, and he left some silver powder behind him. The case itself is very well known, and there are many homepages where it is very well introduced. Under this paragraph is a link to this cases "Wikipedia-page".

Some people think that "silver powder" was the metal called Tungsten, which number in the periodic table of elements is 74, and what is the toughest metal in the earth, so somebody thinks that "Mr. Cooper" was working in the lamp factory because tungstens filaments are made of tungsten.  The reason why this case is so interesting is just how this man able to carry a parachute and the gun to the plane.


Jumping altitude was not so high when he needed extra oxygen if he had good hemoglobin. And when "Mr. Cooper" jumped out the plane over the wilderness in the middle of nowhere, that doesn't mean that this person might not stay alive, if he had clothes, or somebody was waiting for him.  Of course "Mr. Cooper" might change the airplane, using the method, what is shown in the movie "Cliffhanger". In that method will the rope pulled between two planes, and the person who wants to change plane uses the wheel to slip to another plane.


But why this case is so fascinated? That man is not maniac in the normal way.  That metal what was found after he is very interesting because if the gun is made by the antimagnetic material like titanium, chrome-nickel or tungsten it is invisible to metal detectors. And of course, that ammunition can smuggle to the plane in the airtight box.


That is a big threat to airplane security if somebody makes a gun or the knife by titanium he can carry that thing to an airplane. In that case is very much mysteries and some people thinks that "Mr. Cooper" was worked in CIA:s secret aircraft projects. Those projects consist airplanes, what are made outside the bookkeeping of aircraft corporations. Those airplanes are used in some secret operations around the world.
