The latest reactions to things surrounding the DB Cooper case is something that needs to be addressed. this is a public forum, people with different views will comment, and disagree. when it escalates to someone leaving, it presents a problem for all who are involved.
most of the time we don't have a lot of facts to work with, and speculation takes over. most of the time it works itself out. it's always a battle with people who have suspects in mind, but now it appears to have flowed over into the evidence, or who Cooper really is, or was. personally, I like to try and show proof in things surrounding the case. I will confront things I don't believe are correct, or wrong. that's what a discussion forum does. some people need to understand that you just can't cram thoughts into ones head. this occurs constantly with suspects. if this panel disagree's with more than most on the forum, or the majority, I can't do anything about that. it should be a sign. sure, anyone can be wrong, but is all of this really worth get worked up over? it's a 40 + year old unsolved hijacking, and sadly years from now it might still be the same.
I think it's possible the timing is off on the jump, and I also believe it's possible the dredge had a part in this, but I don't state it as fact, nor do I push it as fact. I try to look over all of the angles. I can't make you believe what I think, so I expect the same in return.
Is it possible Cooper was a pilot, yes it was, but it's not written in stone, just as other things surrounding the case. it's also possible he was a mechanic, a purser, was in the military, an engineer, a bus boy, worked at Boeing. he could of been latin, american indian, or even been involved with explosives. for all we know, he could of been a used car salesman.
what needs to be done is eliminating the above, and try to figure out who Cooper was, and not what we think he was, or is!
Thank You
