Boarding The Flight

Along with the other passengers, the suited man whose name on the ticket read Dan Cooper, entered the plane and took his seat supposedly at 18 C. Carrying a non-descript briefcase, he took his chair and placed the case under the seat in front of him. Very calmly, he waited as everyone took their seats, and called the flight attendant over.

Bourbon & Soda

When the stewardess arrived at his side, he ordered a bourbon and coke, and waited for her to serve it to him. While sipping on his drink, a little past 3 p.m., he called the attendant back again and handed her a note. When she skimmed the note, it had said that he had a bomb in the case below the seat in front of him and that he was going to hijack the flight.
