The FBI says it's analyzing a torn, tangled parachute found by children in Washington state to see whether it was used by plane hijacker D.B. Cooper.
Officials said Tuesday that children playing outside their home near Amboy, in southwest Washington, found the chute sticking up from the ground this month.
FBI agent Larry Carr says they pulled on the fabric as much as they could, then cut the ropes. They had seen recent media coverage of the Cooper case and urged their father to call the FBI.
Cooper hijacked a plane from Portland, Ore., to Seattle in 1971, got $200,000 and asked to be flown to Mexico. He parachuted from the plane somewhere near the Oregon border, and officials doubt he could have survived.

(one of my favorite what ifs)
I burned that chute and buried the ashes.
But what did you do with the cash?

OHMYGOSH.
I was just going to post something about this parachute asking which A2Ker was D.B. and my bets were on you, dys!
This find really puts an interesting twist on things since D.B. Cooper has been presumed dead ever since those other kids found some of the cash back in 1980.
Maybe he really did make it out alive.

Sure you didn't bury the chute and burn the cash? :wink:
