00:00:01.439 --> 00:00:06.559
In the United States of America,
it's often common to turn criminals into folk

2
00:00:06.599 --> 00:00:12.519
eurings. People like Jesse James,
or Bonnie and Clyde come to mind immediately,

3
00:00:13.000 --> 00:00:17.280
people who do things others would never
dream of doing, and it becomes

4
00:00:17.320 --> 00:00:22.480
the stuff of legend. But what
about one man who did something so unthinkable

5
00:00:23.000 --> 00:00:29.679
for that cash money that it makes
the entire world wondering what you were about

6
00:00:29.760 --> 00:00:42.200
to turn Based on witness accounts,
testimonies, and public record, this is

7
00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:57.439
terrifying and true true. It is
one of the most known unsolved cases in

8
00:00:57.520 --> 00:01:02.399
American history. Since the crime was
committed, hundreds of thousands of people have

9
00:01:02.560 --> 00:01:07.920
looked into what exactly happened during the
event and just what in the world happened

10
00:01:07.959 --> 00:01:12.680
after. Law enforcement have been stumped
for decades, and civilians have submitted theory

11
00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:18.400
after theory. The details of that
fateful day are well known, but the

12
00:01:18.439 --> 00:01:23.640
aftermath is where many would say the
story truly begins. It's inspired multiple episodes

13
00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:29.319
of television, podcasts, nonfiction and
fiction books, and just about every form

14
00:01:29.319 --> 00:01:32.680
of popular media. Tonight, we
take a look at one of the most

15
00:01:32.760 --> 00:01:37.359
widely known, researched, famous,
and baffling cases in American crime history,

16
00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:42.640
the hijacking of Northwest Orient Airlines Flight
three oh five and the mystery of D.

17
00:01:42.760 --> 00:01:57.680
B. Cooper. Right after this, on November twenty fourth, nineteen

18
00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:04.000
seventy one, flight three oh five
of Northwest Orient Airlines departed from Portland International

19
00:02:04.040 --> 00:02:08.919
Airport at two point fifty pm.
Its destination was Seattle Tacoma International Airport.

20
00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:15.439
Among the thirty seven passengers was a
man later described as being in his mid

21
00:02:15.479 --> 00:02:20.159
forties with dark hair and brown eyes, wearing a dark business suit with a

22
00:02:20.199 --> 00:02:24.039
white shirt, a thin black tie, black raincoat, and brown shoes.

23
00:02:24.719 --> 00:02:30.280
All he brought on board with him
was a black suitcase and a paper bag.

24
00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:35.919
Shortly into the flight, this seemingly
average man passed a note to flight

25
00:02:35.960 --> 00:02:39.439
attendant Florence Shaffner. At first,
Shafner passed it off as just some guy

26
00:02:39.520 --> 00:02:45.199
who was away on business trying to
pick up a girl, But after she

27
00:02:45.319 --> 00:02:49.039
didn't answer and dropped the note into
her bag, the passenger turned to her

28
00:02:49.080 --> 00:02:53.639
and said, miss you'd better look
at that note. I have a bomb.

29
00:02:53.680 --> 00:02:58.919
It was then that Shafter retrieved the
note from her purse and read it,

30
00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:02.479
stating that the man had a bomb
and wanted her to sit next to

31
00:03:02.599 --> 00:03:08.039
him. She obliged. Once seated
next to the man, Shaffner asked to

32
00:03:08.120 --> 00:03:14.159
see the bomb. The man opened
up his briefcase and revealed two rows of

33
00:03:14.319 --> 00:03:19.919
four red cylinders. Attached to the
cylinders were a wire and a large cylindrical

34
00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:24.280
battery. Afterwards, he closed the
briefcase and told the attendant his demands,

35
00:03:24.360 --> 00:03:30.560
which she promptly copied onto paper and
delivered to the captain in the cockpit.

36
00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:35.719
The captain, William A. Scott, directed Shafner to stay in the cockpit

37
00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:39.919
and write down everything that happened from
that point on. From there, Scott

38
00:03:40.039 --> 00:03:47.680
radioed Northwest Flight operations and informed them
of the hijacker's demands. Quote two hundred

39
00:03:47.680 --> 00:03:53.080
thousand dollars in a knapsack by five
p m. He wants two front parachutes,

40
00:03:53.360 --> 00:04:00.159
two back parachutes. He wants the
money a negotiable American currency. In

41
00:04:00.199 --> 00:04:03.680
addition, the passengers would later request
that upon landing in Seattle, the fuel

42
00:04:03.719 --> 00:04:09.439
trucks must meet the plane and all
passengers must remain seated while the money was

43
00:04:09.479 --> 00:04:14.120
brought aboard. Then he would release
the passengers after he had the money.

44
00:04:14.759 --> 00:04:19.519
The last items brought aboard would be
the four parachutes. Scott then proceeded to

45
00:04:19.560 --> 00:04:26.759
inform the Seattle Tacoma Airport's air traffic
control, who then contacted local police and

46
00:04:26.920 --> 00:04:31.839
the FBI. While Scott handled everything
communication wise and continued to fly the aircraft,

47
00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:39.120
flight attendant Tina Mucklow stayed by the
hijacker's side. She would later state

48
00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:43.319
that during the flight he appeared to
be familiar with the area he could see

49
00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:47.560
from his window, and that he
came off as nice as opposed to cruel

50
00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:55.120
or aggressive, and also didn't appear
nervous at all. When Mucklough asked him

51
00:04:55.160 --> 00:05:00.800
why he had selected Northwest Airlines,
he replied with a laugh and said it's

52
00:05:00.839 --> 00:05:03.319
not because I have a grudge against
your airlines. It's just because I have

53
00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:10.959
a grudge and that Northwest suited his
needs best. At around five twenty four

54
00:05:11.079 --> 00:05:15.879
pm, Captain Scott was informed that
the authorities had gathered everything the hijacker requested

55
00:05:16.199 --> 00:05:21.120
and were ready for the plane to
land. The captain informed the mysterious passenger,

56
00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:26.279
and the plane landed at five forty
six pm. From there, the

57
00:05:26.360 --> 00:05:30.680
hijacker directed Mucklow to be the one
to go retrieve the money from law enforcement

58
00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:35.279
and bring it back to him.
Once he had his money, the hijacker

59
00:05:35.319 --> 00:05:41.439
began to let the passengers go.
Afterward, he instructed Mucklow to retrieve the

60
00:05:41.480 --> 00:05:45.600
three parachutes and bring them to him
at the rear of the plane. When

61
00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:49.639
he had all of his money and
other requested materials and the plane finished refueling,

62
00:05:50.040 --> 00:05:56.120
the hijacker gave the cockpit crew his
flight plan and directives, a southeast

63
00:05:56.160 --> 00:06:00.680
course toward Mexico City at the minimum
air speed possible without stalling the aircraft,

64
00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:08.839
approximately one hundred knots at a maximum
of ten thousand feet altitude. The hijacker

65
00:06:08.879 --> 00:06:14.160
also specified the landing gear must remain
deployed, the wing flaps must be lowered

66
00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:18.800
fifteen degrees, and the cabin must
remain unpressurized. The first officer, William

67
00:06:18.879 --> 00:06:24.720
J. Radazac, informed the man
that this configuration limited the aircraft's range to

68
00:06:24.759 --> 00:06:30.199
about one thousand miles, so a
second refueling would be necessary before entering Mexico.

69
00:06:30.360 --> 00:06:36.000
The hijacker and the crew discussed options
and agreed on Reno Tahoe International Airport

70
00:06:36.319 --> 00:06:42.199
as the refueling stop. The hijacker
further directed the aircraft to take off with

71
00:06:42.279 --> 00:06:47.279
the rear exit door open and its
air stare extended. Northwest's Home office objected

72
00:06:47.319 --> 00:06:51.759
that this was unsafe. The hijacker
counted, saying it can be done,

73
00:06:53.199 --> 00:06:56.839
do it, but did not argue
the point, and said he would lower

74
00:06:56.879 --> 00:07:01.600
the staircase once they were airborne.
He demanded Mucklough remain aboard to assist the

75
00:07:01.680 --> 00:07:08.120
operation. At about seven forty pm, flight three H five took off with

76
00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:13.279
only the hijacker, Mucklow, Captain
Scott, First Officer Ratazac, and the

77
00:07:13.319 --> 00:07:18.279
flight engineer Harold E. Anderson aboard. Shortly after takeoff, the man instructed

78
00:07:18.360 --> 00:07:24.680
Mucklow to lower the aft staircase,
an act she was hesitant to perform out

79
00:07:24.680 --> 00:07:29.240
of fear of being sucked out of
the aircraft. Eventually, he instructed her

80
00:07:29.240 --> 00:07:32.120
to go to the cockpit, closed
the curtain partition between the coach and first

81
00:07:32.120 --> 00:07:38.279
class sections and not return, and
that he would lower them himself. Before

82
00:07:38.360 --> 00:07:42.279
leaving, Mucklow asked him to take
the bomb with him, to which he

83
00:07:42.319 --> 00:07:46.000
said he would either take it or
disarm it. As he walked to the

84
00:07:46.040 --> 00:07:50.720
cockpit and turned to close the curtain
partition, she saw the hijacker standing in

85
00:07:50.759 --> 00:07:55.680
the aisle, tying what appeared to
be the money bag around his waist.

86
00:07:56.720 --> 00:08:01.240
Around eight PM, a cockpit warning
light flashed, indicating the aft staircase had

87
00:08:01.240 --> 00:08:07.519
been deployed. The pilot used the
cabin intercom to ask the hijacker if he

88
00:08:07.639 --> 00:08:15.360
needed assistance, but Cooper's last message
was a one word reply no. The

89
00:08:15.439 --> 00:08:18.800
crew's ears popped from the drop in
cabin pressure from the stairs being opened.

90
00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:26.199
At approximately eight thirteen pm, the
aircraft's tail section suddenly pitched upward, forcing

91
00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:30.879
the pilots to trim and return the
aircraft to level flight. In his interview

92
00:08:30.879 --> 00:08:35.200
with the FBI, copilot Bill Redazak
said the sudden upward pitch occurred while the

93
00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:39.840
flight was near the suburbs north of
Portland. With the aft cabin door open

94
00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:45.639
and the staircase deployed. The flight
crew remained in the cockpit unsure if the

95
00:08:45.720 --> 00:08:50.639
hijacker was still aboard. Mucklow used
the cabin intercom to inform the hijacker they

96
00:08:50.639 --> 00:08:56.279
were approaching Reno and he needed to
raise the stairs so the plane could land

97
00:08:56.399 --> 00:09:01.240
safely. She repeated her requests as
the pilot's mane They made the final approach

98
00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:05.080
to land, but neither Mucklow nor
the flight crew received a reply from the

99
00:09:05.159 --> 00:09:11.279
hijacker. At eleven o two pm. With the aft staircase still deployed,

100
00:09:11.720 --> 00:09:16.360
Flight three H five landed at Reno
Tahoe International Airport. FBI agents, state

101
00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:22.519
troopers, sheriff's deputies, and Reno
police established a perimeter around the aircraft,

102
00:09:22.960 --> 00:09:26.200
but, fearing the hijacker and the
bomb were still aboard, did not approach

103
00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:31.679
the plane. Captain Scott searched the
cabin, confirmed the hijacker was no longer

104
00:09:31.720 --> 00:09:37.960
a board, and after a thirty
minute search, an FBI bomb squad declared

105
00:09:37.039 --> 00:09:43.159
the cabin safe. After the events
of the hijacking, the FBI began its

106
00:09:43.200 --> 00:09:48.720
investigation into who was behind the crime
and where he was, this, of

107
00:09:48.759 --> 00:09:54.320
course, assuming that he had survived
his jump at all. During their search

108
00:09:54.360 --> 00:09:58.159
for evidence, they were able to
find several items they deemed relevant to the

109
00:09:58.200 --> 00:10:03.799
case. Black clip on tie tie
clip and two of the four parachutes,

110
00:10:03.399 --> 00:10:07.639
one of which had been opened and
had three shroud lines cut from the canopy,

111
00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:13.960
a hair from Cooper's headrest, and
eight filter tipped Raleigh cigarette butts from

112
00:10:13.000 --> 00:10:20.399
the armrest ashtray. FBI agents interviewed
eyewitnesses in Portland's Seattle and Reno and developed

113
00:10:20.399 --> 00:10:28.360
a series of composite sketches. Local
police and FBI agents immediately began questioning possible

114
00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:33.600
suspects. Acting on the possibility the
hijacker may have used his real name or

115
00:10:33.679 --> 00:10:39.120
the same alias in a previous crime, Portland police discovered and interviewed a Portland

116
00:10:39.159 --> 00:10:45.399
citizen named d. B. Cooper. The Portland Cooper had a minor police

117
00:10:45.440 --> 00:10:48.919
record, but was quickly eliminated as
a suspect. In his rush to meet

118
00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:54.240
a deadline reporter, James Long confused
the man with the name used by the

119
00:10:54.320 --> 00:11:00.960
hijacker. The United States International Wire
Service reported Clyde Jabin republics Long's error,

120
00:11:01.279 --> 00:11:05.320
and as other media sources repeated the
error, the hijacker's pseudonym went from Dan

121
00:11:05.480 --> 00:11:11.639
Cooper to dB Cooper. Due to
the number of variables and parameters, precisely

122
00:11:11.679 --> 00:11:16.480
defining the area to search was difficult. The jets' air speed estimates varied,

123
00:11:16.840 --> 00:11:22.440
and the environmental conditions along the flight
path varied as well with the aircraft's location

124
00:11:22.840 --> 00:11:28.240
and altitude, and only Cooper knew
how long he stayed in free fall before

125
00:11:28.279 --> 00:11:33.519
pulling his ripcord. The Air Force
F one ZO six pilots neither saw anyone

126
00:11:33.639 --> 00:11:39.000
jumping from the airliner, nor did
their radar detect a deployed parachute. Moreover,

127
00:11:39.039 --> 00:11:43.960
a black clad individual jumping into the
moonless night would have been difficult to

128
00:11:43.000 --> 00:11:48.360
see, to say the least,
especially given the limited visibility, cloud cover

129
00:11:48.759 --> 00:11:52.960
and lack of ground lighting. The
T thirty three pilots did not make visual

130
00:11:54.039 --> 00:11:58.240
contact with the seven twenty seven.
On December sixth, nineteen seventy one,

131
00:11:58.279 --> 00:12:03.240
FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover approved
the use of an Air Force SR seventy

132
00:12:03.240 --> 00:12:09.960
one Blackbird to retrace and photograph Flight
three oh five's flight plan and attempt to

133
00:12:09.000 --> 00:12:15.480
locate the items Cooper carried during his
jump. The SR seventy one made five

134
00:12:15.519 --> 00:12:20.240
flights to retrace Flight three oh five's
route, but due to poor visibility,

135
00:12:20.320 --> 00:12:26.399
the photography attempts were unsuccessful. In
an experimental recreation flying the same aircraft used

136
00:12:26.440 --> 00:12:31.360
in the hijacking in the same flight
configuration, FBI agents pushed a two hundred

137
00:12:31.360 --> 00:12:35.679
pounds sled out of the open air
stair and were able to reproduce the upward

138
00:12:35.720 --> 00:12:41.159
motion of the tail section and brief
change in cabin pressure described by the flight

139
00:12:41.240 --> 00:12:48.080
crew at eight thirteen PM. Initial
extrapolations placed Cooper's landing zone within an area

140
00:12:48.159 --> 00:12:52.919
on the southernmost outreach of Mount Saint
Helens, a few miles southeast of Ariel,

141
00:12:52.080 --> 00:12:58.039
Washington, near Lake Merwin, an
artificial lake formed by a dam on

142
00:12:58.080 --> 00:13:03.399
the Lewis River. Search fa orts
focused on Clark and Kulitz Counties, encompassing

143
00:13:03.440 --> 00:13:09.919
the terrain immediately south and north of
the Lewis River in southwest Washington. FBI

144
00:13:11.039 --> 00:13:16.320
agents and sheriff's deputies searched large areas
of the heavily wooded terrain on foot and

145
00:13:16.440 --> 00:13:20.720
by helicopter. Door to door searches
of local farmhouses were also carried out.

146
00:13:22.320 --> 00:13:26.759
Other search parties ran patrol boats along
Lake Merwin and Yale Lake, the reservoir

147
00:13:26.799 --> 00:13:33.159
immediately to its east. Neither Cooper
nor any of the equipment he presumably carried

148
00:13:33.320 --> 00:13:39.679
was found. Using fixed winged aircraft
and helicopters from the Oregon Army National Guard,

149
00:13:39.159 --> 00:13:45.320
the FBI coordinated an aerial search along
the entire flight path from Seattle to

150
00:13:45.399 --> 00:13:50.320
Reno. Although numerous broken tree tops
and several pieces of plastic and other objects

151
00:13:50.360 --> 00:13:56.879
resembling parachute canopies were sighted and investigated. Nothing relevant to the hijacking was found.

152
00:13:58.879 --> 00:14:03.840
Shortly after the bring thaw in early
nineteen seventy two, teams of FBI

153
00:14:03.960 --> 00:14:07.600
agents, aided by some two hundred
soldiers from Fort Lewis, along with the

154
00:14:07.679 --> 00:14:13.039
United States Air Force personnel, National
guardsmen, and civilian volunteers, conducted another

155
00:14:13.200 --> 00:14:18.279
thorough ground search of Clark and Colwitz
Counties for eighteen days in March, and

156
00:14:18.360 --> 00:14:24.000
then another eighteen days in April.
Electronic Explorations Company, a marine salvage firm,

157
00:14:24.120 --> 00:14:28.000
used a submarine to search the two
hundred foot depths of Lake Merwin.

158
00:14:28.559 --> 00:14:33.000
Two local women stumbled upon a skeleton
in an abandoned structure in Clark County.

159
00:14:33.559 --> 00:14:39.240
It was later identified as the remains
of Barbara and Dairy, a teenaged girl

160
00:14:39.240 --> 00:14:45.240
who had been abducted and murdered several
weeks before. Ultimately, the extensive search

161
00:14:45.279 --> 00:14:50.919
and recovery operation uncovered no significant material
evidence related to the hijacking. Based on

162
00:14:50.960 --> 00:14:56.320
early computer projections produced for the FBI, Cooper's drop zone was first estimated to

163
00:14:56.320 --> 00:15:01.960
be between Aerial Dam to the north
and the t town of Battleground, Washington

164
00:15:01.200 --> 00:15:07.240
to the south. In March nineteen
seventy two, the FBI concluded their original

165
00:15:07.240 --> 00:15:13.559
calculations were incorrect after a joint investigation
with Northwest Orient Airlines and the Air Force

166
00:15:13.600 --> 00:15:20.039
determined Cooper probably jumped over the town
of Le Center, Washington. Later analysis

167
00:15:20.080 --> 00:15:24.960
indicated that the original landing zone estimates
were indeed inaccurate. Captain Scott, who

168
00:15:26.039 --> 00:15:31.759
was flying the aircraft manually because of
Cooper's speed and altitude demands, later determined

169
00:15:31.799 --> 00:15:37.480
his flight path was farther east than
initially thought. Additional data from a variety

170
00:15:37.519 --> 00:15:43.039
of sources, in particular Continental Airlines
pilot Tom Bohan, who was flying four

171
00:15:43.080 --> 00:15:48.000
minutes behind flight three OZH five,
indicated the wind direction factored into drop zone

172
00:15:48.039 --> 00:15:52.840
calculations had been wrong, possibly by
as much as eighty degrees. This and

173
00:15:52.919 --> 00:15:58.799
other supplemental data suggested the actual drop
zone was south southeast of the original estimate,

174
00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:04.200
in the drainage area of the Washugle
River. On July eight, twenty

175
00:16:04.519 --> 00:16:11.159
sixteen, the FBI announced active investigation
of the Cooper case was suspended, citing

176
00:16:11.159 --> 00:16:18.279
the need to focus investigative resources and
manpower on issues of higher and more urgent

177
00:16:18.399 --> 00:16:26.440
priority. Local field offices would continue
to accept any legitimate physical evidence related specifically

178
00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:30.360
to the parachutes or to the ransom
money that may emerge in the future.

179
00:16:32.120 --> 00:16:36.679
The sixty six volume case file,
compiled over the forty five year course of

180
00:16:36.720 --> 00:16:42.440
the investigation would be preserved for historical
purposes at FBI headquarters in Washington, d

181
00:16:42.600 --> 00:16:48.519
C. And on the FBI's website. All of the evidence is open to

182
00:16:48.559 --> 00:16:52.960
the public. In twenty nineteen,
the FBI released a report indicating that about

183
00:16:53.039 --> 00:16:59.440
three hours after Cooper jumped, a
burglary was reported at a small grocery store

184
00:16:59.480 --> 00:17:04.759
near Heise in Washington, an unincorporated
community located within the calculated drop zone that

185
00:17:04.880 --> 00:17:11.839
Northwest Airlines presented to the FBI.
The burglar was noted by the FBI to

186
00:17:11.960 --> 00:17:18.079
have taken only survival items such as
beef, jerky and gloves. This crime

187
00:17:18.200 --> 00:17:25.200
remains the only unsolved case of air
piracy in commercial aviation history, with the

188
00:17:25.279 --> 00:17:30.680
case that has as many unanswered questions
as this. Theories are plentiful as to

189
00:17:30.759 --> 00:17:37.200
who dB Cooper is and where he
resides. Some speculators claim he is actually

190
00:17:37.240 --> 00:17:41.759
a she. There are those who
think Cooper is alive and well, died

191
00:17:41.839 --> 00:17:48.519
almost immediately, or lived and died
a non spectacular death. But when it's

192
00:17:48.559 --> 00:17:53.960
all said and done. It's that
mystery and intrigue in this case that makes

193
00:17:55.000 --> 00:18:00.839
it so appealing to those interested in
unsolved mysteries from fiction, non fiction,

194
00:18:00.039 --> 00:18:06.039
literature, films, television episodes,
and many other art forms. Cooper's legacy

195
00:18:06.519 --> 00:18:11.920
will never be forgotten, extending to
the impact his crime had on aviation security

196
00:18:11.920 --> 00:18:17.599
as a whole. There's even an
annual dB Cooper Convention. No matter how

197
00:18:17.640 --> 00:18:21.920
you look at it, the hijacking
of Northwest orient Airlines Flight three oh five

198
00:18:22.319 --> 00:18:27.920
and the mystery surrounding the person only
known as dB Cooper will arguably remain the

199
00:18:27.920 --> 00:18:40.359
most known and popular unsolved crime of
all time. This one is a story

200
00:18:40.400 --> 00:18:45.640
that's captured my imagination since I was
a little boy in the nineties. I

201
00:18:45.680 --> 00:18:52.960
remember learning about dB Cooper on Unsolved
Mysteries. Unsolved Mysteries, of course,

202
00:18:53.200 --> 00:19:00.480
for any nineties kid is the ultimate
in spooky and kooky stories. I always

203
00:19:00.519 --> 00:19:03.200
wondered how did he get away with
it? I mean, did he just

204
00:19:03.759 --> 00:19:08.759
die horribly and his body was impossible
to find? Did he end up taking

205
00:19:08.799 --> 00:19:15.759
a piggyback ride on Bigfoot? Bigfoot
is pretty hard to find himself. Or

206
00:19:15.799 --> 00:19:21.079
did he simply hike into the woods
and hike out like so many other people

207
00:19:21.160 --> 00:19:25.680
have, and go on with his
life. There are a lot of popular

208
00:19:25.720 --> 00:19:30.440
suspects, people that a lot of
others think definitely are dB Cooper, but

209
00:19:30.559 --> 00:19:34.079
none of them have ever faced scrutiny, none of them have ever been proven

210
00:19:34.240 --> 00:19:41.400
to be the man, the myth
himself. But what do you think?

211
00:19:41.200 --> 00:19:45.680
Do you think dB Cooper is alive
and well? Do you think he lived

212
00:19:45.720 --> 00:19:48.920
a long life and died of natural
causes or do you think he just plane

213
00:19:49.400 --> 00:19:53.640
got shish kebobed on one of the
many, many great redwoods of the Pacific

214
00:19:53.640 --> 00:19:57.920
Northwest. I really don't know,
but I would love to find out,

215
00:19:59.039 --> 00:20:03.000
even though it has no effect on
my day to day life. Terrifying and
