News Topical, Digital Desk : In 1972, a young man jumped from a flying plane after robbing American Airlines Flight 119. He had a bag containing approximately ₹42 million (approximately $42 million) tied to his waist. He had robbed the plane of this amount by taking 100 passengers hostage.
But as he jumped, the parachute opened, the shockwave sent his bag flying, and all the money flew into the air. He was even hit in the face by the parachute. When he landed in the field, he had only $13 left.
Caught after 5 days
Police apprehended him five days after the incident. Previously, in 1971, a suspect named D.B. Cooper had similarly jumped from a plane and robbed $200,000, but he remains uncaptured. McNally, using this same idea, carried out the hijacking of a plane in 1972.
