37 years ago he hijacked a plane, landed it to pick up some $200k and parachutes he demanded, then went back up in the air and jumped out, never to be foundagain.

At Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, he released the passengers in exchange for $200,000 and four parachutes and asked to be flown to Mexico.

Why do you think he asked for four? They couldnt give him a dummy chute because they ran the risk of him taking hostages with him and one of themdying because of a fake chute.
