i kindof just skipped to the end here so i missed if you guys actually think that the parachute was DB cooper's.
you should probably think that the parachute, being left out for 35 ish years would not be in any condition to handle, let alone there be anything left of it, recognisable as a parachute.
my idea, is that someone living in a fantasy world, thinking that they are DB cooper, got a hold of an old parachute, from about the same era, plants it in a field to be plowed, and waits for someone to discover it and create some hype in the community or to prove to himself in some sick way that he is DB cooper. OR maybe someone affiliated with the media did it, so we wont have to keep talking about celebrity news. which i agree is a worthy reason to do such a thing, fake, interesting news is better than caleb new any day.
anyways. just thinkin. We choose to do these things not because they are easy but because they are hard, to push the envelope, to break free, to make what was once impossible possible.
