Matthew Cox | Inside True Crime Podcast
D.B. Cooper 2.0: The Skyjacker Who Stole $500K & Survived

So what was the plan?

Matthew Cox | Inside True Crime Podcast
D.B. Cooper 2.0: The Skyjacker Who Stole $500K & Survived

I mean, how do you convince somebody to โ€“ so someone's going to take a helicopter, fly it in, land, pick you guys up, and leave.

So you're afraid what?

Matthew Cox | Inside True Crime Podcast

She's going to come in and you're not going to be on the rec yard.

Matthew Cox | Inside True Crime Podcast
D.B. Cooper 2.0: The Skyjacker Who Stole $500K & Survived

Yeah.

Matthew Cox | Inside True Crime Podcast
D.B. Cooper 2.0: The Skyjacker Who Stole $500K & Survived

Yeah.

Matthew Cox | Inside True Crime Podcast
D.B. Cooper 2.0: The Skyjacker Who Stole $500K & Survived

Yeah, he... So...

Matthew Cox | Inside True Crime Podcast
D.B. Cooper 2.0: The Skyjacker Who Stole $500K & Survived

I only mention it because he was in Miami and his he and his brother had paid to hire a guy who trained.

Matthew Cox | Inside True Crime Podcast

They trained him to be a helicopter pilot and break him out.

And Ben Kramer, that didn't work out well either.

Matthew Cox | Inside True Crime Podcast

That guy actually landed in the little wreckyard in Miami and was landing and he runs up and.

He apparently had gained like 80 pounds or 100 pounds.

And so when he goes to climb in the chopper, he reaches in to pull himself in and he actually grabs the stick, like the elevator stick, thinking it's just a piece of the chopper and grabs it and yanks it.

And it starts to swoop.

Matthew Cox | Inside True Crime Podcast

The helicopter swings around and the back tail part of it hits the fence and it flips it over.

Matthew Cox | Inside True Crime Podcast

And throws him and the helicopter pilot outside of the fence.

Matthew Cox | Inside True Crime Podcast

I mean, the one guy, like, I think, I don't know if Kramer broke his leg or something.

Matthew Cox | Inside True Crime Podcast
D.B. Cooper 2.0: The Skyjacker Who Stole $500K & Survived

The pilot broke a couple, broke his leg, his arm, some ribs and stuff.

Matthew Cox | Inside True Crime Podcast
D.B. Cooper 2.0: The Skyjacker Who Stole $500K & Survived

And he, you know, there's not much you can do to Ben Kramer.

Matthew Cox | Inside True Crime Podcast
D.B. Cooper 2.0: The Skyjacker Who Stole $500K & Survived

He was already screwed.
