A quick look at this survey at the front of this thread shows of 39 votes, only 4 say it’s 100% Cooper died. I’d say just being VERY familiar with the Columbia river that IF he landed in the Columbia in late November there’s very little chance that Cooper survived. Therefore to me it seems kinda fruitless to actually think Cooper is still alive or that we have any chance of ever finding out who Cooper was or ever solving this mystery IF he landed in the river that night. I’ve lost 3 very close friends who drowned in the river so I’m not just talking about a river that I’m unfamiliar with.
Therefore for me it’s more interesting to entertain the possibility that Cooper escaped and how he might have done so. I actually feel confident that IF I had survived the jump by not landing in water, I’d been able to easily avoid getting captured. Almost nobody was looking for Cooper for quite a long period of time. Flying around in a helicopter far away from the area he most likely jumped is not what I’d call a real search ! JMHO

As I mentioned a few minutes ago in response to another of your posts, it looks like NWA was trying to freeze the FBI out of the hijacking event.

The fact that the money turned up at Tina Bar suggests to me that Cooper landed on dry land near the money find location as a no-pull.  There is a bit of convoluted reasoning that goes into this.  But if Cooper had landed in the river itself, he would probably have retained sufficient buoyancy for several hours and drifted past Tina Bar before daylight.

Sorry Robert but you’re certainly entitled to your opinion but I don’t share your opinion.

Why not?  Do you have some "alternate facts"?

Yes I do ! It’s a fact that IF he was a no pull into the dry land, nobody has found him, his parachute, his briefcase !
Besides it’s just your opinion that he was a no pull AND also that he landed On dry land. You have no proof whatsoever either ! It’s your opinion ! My opinion is just as good as yours ! Nobody has any proof how the money got to Tina Bar so let’s hear your proof ! I’m all ears ! Perhaps my opinion is slightly better than yours as I have waterskied and fished almost every mile of this river from Bonneville Dam to the Pacific Ocean for almost all my life.
The area around Hayden Island has always been a hot spot for boating even back in the 60’s ! Where’s his body ?

I think Kermit's experience is valuable here. Some of the Portland and Vancouver agents were longtime residents of the area and fished at Tina Bar. Nobody saw or reported free money or pieces of money in the sand at Tina Bar, until Feb of 1980 and if you buy the Ingram's story that was a fluke of luck. 

It's almost inconceivable that sooner or later something would have been noticed, maybe that would have gone unreported, but due to erosion the money was getting ripe for discovery.

I have covered all of this in posts since 2009.  I'm not going to waste more of my time repeating them here or again.  So you are going to have to look up those posts yourself if you want further answers.

It’s ok Robert ! You have no proof and you and anyone else knows it ! Your opinion is just exactly an opinion. Don’t feel bad as nobody else has any proof either !
