On this day, November 24, 1971, On Thanksgiving eve DB Cooper boarded Flight 305 in Portland, Or., and demanded $200,000 with the threat of a bomb. He parachuted from a Northwest Airlines 727 with the money over the Cascade Mountains near Ariel, Wash., and was never seen again. FBI agent Ralph Himmelsbach wrote the book NORJAK that described the case. A packet containing $5,880 of the ransom money was found in 1980 on the north shore of the Columbia River, just west of the Washington city of Vancouver. In 2011 evidence was presented that Lynn Doyle Cooper of Oregon, a Korean war veteran, was the hijacker. On July 13, 2016, the FBI said it is no longer investigating the case.
Is this a real problem ?
Saying "We will not stand on the sidelines as these attacks mount," Oregon Governor Kate Brown joined the governors of Washington and California in signing a
Multi-State Commitment to Reproductive Freedom.
According to the letter, "The U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to overturn half a century of settled precedent and rescind the U.S. Constitution’s protection of reproductive freedom jeopardizes safe access to reproductive healthcare across the United States."
The letter includes a commitment to the following:
- Protect against efforts by states hostile to abortion rights to target patients who receive legal reproductive healthcare services in our states
- Protect against judicial and local law enforcement cooperation with out-of-state investigations, inquiries, and arrests regarding abortion
