Georger, it is time to examine your behavior here. Your persistent mockery, character assassinations, over-simplifications, belittling or others, and glib but incorrect asides need to be understood.

You claim you are an "adorable asshole," or words to that effect. But you are also an effective provocateur. You seem to be working hard to maintain a one-dimensional investigation that protects the FBI and the interests of powerful people, such as the folks who run airlines. Creative, imaginative, thinking is certainly not in your wheelhouse.

Do you want to answer that, or just continue on your mission while those of us who see your troubling actions email each other or chat on the phone and speculate on why you do what you do?

I've locked one thread this morning....do I need to lock another?

Sheridan Peterson would likely not have lost the $200,000 payload during the jump had he been DBC. As a smoke jumper, he would know all about jumping with external payloads and how to secure them to withstand the windblast on exit. As wingsuit (batwing) pioneer he'd know better than most skydivers about the windblast forces exerted on external devices and the effect on stability.

He told the History Channel interviewers: "I'd have made it man" referring to DBCs jump and indicating that he could have survived it. I agree.

That's an important point! It may go to the heart of why DBC has never been identified.

Anyone notice the poster at the front of screen when the two History guys are interviewing Peterson? The drawing of a parachutist carrying an attached package? Nice touch.   He'd have survived that jump. Peterson is worthy of his own legend. And though I personally discount McCoy, he DID make the jump. So anyone still saying the jump wasn't doable needs to give their head a shake. Several of the suspects could have pulled it off.

But to play devil's advocate, no one is saying Cooper lost ALL the money. He didn't get that knapsack he wanted and was dealing with essentially the world's biggest makeshift money belt. He was fairly miffed about it, too, according to Tina, who is up there with Tina Turner in world's coolest chicks, IMHO.

Also, as we all get to go out on one silly limb here and wait for the birds to poop on us, I'm gonna guess the small green bag Tina mentioned (which I still do not think is the sack mentioned by others) contained D-rings. Just because it was probably more necessary to DBC than say, chewing gum or Gravol.
