At 8:13pm pressure gauges recorded his jump over the Lewis River from 10,000ft into a thunderstorm with over a hundred mile per hour winds and negative temperatures wearing only a thin suit, wrap-around sunglasses, and a rain coat (Brad Meltzer's Decoded). Many people believe that this was a suicidal jump and that Cooper died that night (Mysterious Disappearances in U.S. History).

After a few minutes of watching the same clip, I suddenly saw another plane crashing into the twin of the other building. I couldn’t believe it, I looked at my family and all you could see was the sorrow and angst in their faces as they sat with there mouths dropped open. As the cameras zoomed in on the masses of people covered with a grey ash, you could see in the background smoke swarming the air and then the first tower went tumbling down.

They were forced to fly the rest of the way. At the airport it was the police that were yelling at them and then they had to get off the plane because of a bomb threat. They finally left later with assistance from John Seigenthaler, assistant to Robert Kennedy. Now there’s a second wave coming from Tennessee, led by Diane Nash.
