Little did the crew and passengers know, they were about to become unwilling participants in one of the most brazen hijackings in history.As the plane ascended into the stormy Pacific Northwest skies, Cooper calmly passed a note to Florence Schaffner, a flight attendant, revealing his true intentions.
