  1. " ______________________________________________ Gosh..this Cooper case is a labyrinth and I aint a Cooper royalty ...I seriously have no clue what are you taking about...help me understand where can I read more about what u saying...the film etc. It's make believe, pure fantasy. Delusions of grandeur and all. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  2. No, this signature is to Instructors of this community, the Skydiving community this page is intended for. It is meant to remind them that money is secondary in their job, student safety is first. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!

  4. 57, 000~ posts, and this thread still talks about none suspects, and debunked theory and conspiracy. It is good training material for any one going into the mental health area though. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  5. I disagree. Let it survive. It is pretty useless right now but it might get better someday. Meanwhile just ignore folks who annoy you. Its easy to do. If Snow were allowed to return and we got Orange, Sluggo, Farflung and others like them back in the forum it could bloom again. 377 Agreed. But the Cooper candidate pushers are using it currently just to spread dis-information. And that is a drag on the whole Cooper investigation. Robert99 This thread might only be 4 or 5 pages long, when the lies, attacks, disinformation, off topic rants, mindless drivel, and general childishness posts, are deleted. Sadly, that won't stop, as proven by the posts and PM's right after each call to lock this thread prove. It would also be too time consuming to edit this thread of all the crap. Experts in fields get attacked by "never beens" and "know nots" when their theory is scientifically and factually proven wrong. History gets used and rewritten by those who desperately try to fit themselves into this crime. Why one would want to be a part of this crime is unfathomable to me, but I do not want to be a criminal, I guess I'm different that way. This thread as it stands now, no longer serves a purpose. The original that Jo started and then this one, had a purpose, long ago left behind. Yet, even the original idea, was agenda driven, not to find the actual hijacker, but to make a suspect, how ever it need to be done. Any actual evidence (what little real evidence there is) in this thread, wouldn't be lost by locking it. Having worked along a few FBI Agents recently, if they have eliminated a suspect, and publicly said so, I would be hard pressed to see a reason to go against that. They do have more experience than any here, and far more means as well. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  6. Well, after reading the FBI web page, and the numerous pages of dribble here, and a short visit to the other pages out there about this, we still have no viable, or even new none-viable, suspect/s. Maybe one or two possibles, but they aren't discussed here, good for them and their supporters, as it would be a nightmare for them! Time for this thread to be locked, go in the garbage bin, and let those who need to, go find closer some where in there lives.

  7. Like the event involving a firefighter who claimed racism in a recent encounter. The PD said he was making a false claim, and to back it up, let the public view and decide as well. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  8. Not only does it "modify the behavior" of the Cops, but of the people as well. There have been a few cases of Police Brutality reversed when the Body Camera, and or Dash cam has shown the truth. I may have missed the post in this thread where LAPD has a District using the cameras as an experiment, it has reduced the reports of brutality by a significant margin. Also, the test program has shown that in reports that have gone forward, nearly 80% (iirc) have been unfounded. I have a contour and a smaller body cam that I try to use when not on the dash cam. And I always use an audio recorder to back up, the car's recorder. And I tell every one I interact with, "Remember, everything is recorded these days". I find it amazing how nice people get when they know they are being recorded (cuts both ways, yes it does), and only the truly committed to their cause keep on with what ever action they had going on.

  9. In a normal court proceeding, an act of holding back evidence tends to make the "holder backer" look guilty. It is also punishable, Why not in this case? (in the public and media eye at least) The finding was made, and they acknowledged they did so, even with out all the evidence they requested. So, not an actual truthful finding. Now a member of the staff for the State Dept, has reported that State did destroy documents (Evidence) requested by the committee (which could have changed the result from inconclusive to a conclusion, be it either way), and it hasn't been refuted yet, correct? This will be like any other "event" in this and past Administrations. It will be beat up over and over, mostly for politics, and some where the truth will eventually be known, but only by those who ignore the politics and sift through the actual facts.

  10. Maybe because there isn't any way to do it? Maybe it is just three pictures, two of a life long criminal, and one of the criminal you wish he was. There is a very high probability Duane was not the Hijacker, and that a lot of the stories he told you are just, stories. Since thus far there have been zero confirmed suspicions as to his "qualifications", just like the KC suspect. If my Patrol, or CID, LT handed me this case, I would have moved on from those two long ago, they aren't viable suspects. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  11. Nope, not really. Only one viable suspect, cause he can't be eliminated, unlike the few discussed here, already have been. But, dead horse beating is the forte here! Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  12. Right wing/left wing Fringe Left/fringe right Conservative/Liberal etc/etc All oarsmen in the same boat, lined up against, and all pulling against, each other, so the boats just goes in circles. Sad really. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  13. Q- Did any of the money make it out of the plane? A- Yes. Confirmed by the "Tina Bar" find. But, it does lead to many more questions, already asked of course. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  14. This will give a bit of an example of what the parachutes do during deployment, for the uninitiated. An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  15. BINGO! Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
