,,,,,<i> November 1971 </i>. You have just arrived outside Portland international airport, as you enter you make your way to a ticket both to purchase a one way ticket to Seatle-Washington. After you've sorted that all out you pass through customs like a breeze, <i> they never suspected a thing.</i> As you wait for your flight to arrive you fill out the plane ticket and identify yourself as Dan Cooper. You hear over the microphone <i> Passengers now may board flight 305 </i> , you stand up, pick up your briefcase and go board the 727 aeroplane. Once you board the plane you make your way down the ile to the last row of seats on the right side of the cabin and you place yourself in the middle, you think to yourself; <i> soon it will be time.</i>
[[Continue On]]After the plane had taken off you order a drink and have a smoke. A bit of time has passed so you pass the female flight attendent sitting at the back of the plane an envelope, Inside the envelope contained a note that was handwritten saying; <i><b> I have a bomb here and I would like you to sit next to me. </b></i> She reluctantley sits next to you and you allow her to catch a brief glance in your briefcase that's nestled in your lap, <i> it contains quite a few sticks of dynamite.</i> You think about what your demands should be,
[[$200,000 cash, 4 parachutes and a fuel truck on stand by]]
[[$200,000 cash, 2 parachutes and a fuel truck on stand by]]
[[$200,000 cash, 1 parachute and a fuel truck on stand by]]</i> You make your demands clear, <u> I want $200,000 negotiable American cash by 5:00pm, put it in a knapsack. I want two back parachutes and two front parachutes. When we land, I want a fuel truck ready to refuel. No funny stuff, or I'll do the job. </u> The flight attendant stands up to go inform the other crew members of what's happend. After some time a new flight sits down next to you and intoduces herself as Tina Mucklow, she has a tellephone so she can communicate with the other crew members without getting up if I have any other propositions. Tina says to me that we will be circling in the air until authorities can meet your demands, she also says that they might not be able to meet the demands by 5 and would like some extra time.
<<set $Option1 to true>>
[[Give them more time]]
[[Tell them to hurry up]]

[[Tell them to hurry up]]
[[Give them more time]] "I'll give you another hour to meet my demands" you reply
"Thank you" Tina says
She passes this on to the rest of the crew.<<if $Option1 == true>>\
The plane finally touches down at 5:45pm. It's not what you wanted but it'll have to do.<<elseif $Option2 == true>>\
The plane finally touches down at 5:35pm. It's not what you wanted but it'll have to do. <<elseif $Option3 == true>>\
The plane finally touches down at 5:30pm. It's not what you wanted but it'll have to do.
<<endif>>\
[[Tell Tina to exit the plane to collect your randsome]]
"I don't have all the time in the world" you say with a slight hint of annoyance "Just get it done quickly"
Tina moves this on to the rest of the crew.
"we'll try our best" she replies.<<if $Option1 == true>>\
The plane finally touches down at 5:40pm. It's not what you wanted but it'll have to do.<<elseif $Option2 == true>>\
The plane finally touches down at 5:20pm. It's not what you wanted but it'll have to do. <<elseif $Option3 == true>>\
The plane finally touches down at 4:30pm. It's just under the time you wanted which may allow you some time to make a proper reschedule of the flight <<set $moreTime to true>>

<<set $o1 = [0, 1]>>
<<if $Option1 or $Option2 == true>>You tug the parachute chord<<if $o1.random() == 1>> and you feel it open up above you, you slowly decend into the forest, you land on your feet and take of your parachutes and pack them back in so you don't leave evidence around. It's still very dark outside, you should start making a move, and you dont exactly have the right equipment to be sleeping under the stars.
[[Walk to the nearest town]]

Tina walks out of the plane and will be gone for a few minutes. You think about what escape route you're going to take, you didn't think that a car would get you safley somewhere and would be stopped much easier when you try to run off with the randsome so rescheduling the flight is your best option. But where will you go too?
[[Mexico City]]
[[San Antonio]]
"All the passengers and the crew members that arn't nesscesary can exit the plane now before this next step of the flight" you speek to the captain
"Will do" he says back
After about a minute he announces that the passengers may disembark.
The passengers and the crew exit the plane. The refueling takes another painstaiking hour and a half, but finaly the plane takes off with Tina still by your side. After a while of being in the air you ask Tina how to open the underbelly stairs, she gets up and explains how to do it and shows you where everything is.
"Join the rest of the crew, do not disturb me" you say to her
She rushes down to the cabin and you hair the door click behind her,<<if $sky == true>>You couldn't be in a better situation, now no-one will know when you skydive out.You prepare for the jump,<<if $Option1 == true>> you over at the parachutes, one looks more ruggered and older, you need to get going so you just chuck the old one on and fasten the profesional grade one to your briefcase and knapsack. You walk over and flick the lever to open the stairs, you hear the sound of machinery turning as the stairs unfold.
[[Jump out]]<</if>>
<<if $Option2 == true>>you pick up the 2 parachutes and fasten one to you,and the other to your knapsack and briefcase. You walk over to where Tina demanstrated to you how to open the stairs and flick the lever, there's the sound of machinery turning and then the stairs start to unfold.
[[Jump out]] <</if>>
<<if $Option3 == true>>you flick the lever for the stairs and as they open you fasten your parachute to you and grap the briefcase and knapsack and [[Jump out]]<</if>><</if>><<if $sky == false>>You're all alone now, you inspect the cash in the knapsack and think about what you will do with it after all of this finishes.[[sit in silence]]<<endif>><<set $mexicoCity to true>> <<if $Option3 == true>> Tina hands you the parachute and randsome, you place the items down on the seat nearest to the window.<<else>>
Tina hands you the parachutes and randsome, you place the items down on the seat nerest to the window. <<endif>>
"Can I speak to the captain?" you ask Tina
"Sure" Tina replies
She hands you the tellephone
"Has the plane been refuled yet?" you say to the captain
"Where having some slight difficulties, but it should be all set soon" He replies
"I need this plane to fly to Mexico City" you speak firmly
"That's quite some distance" the captain says "we'll probably have to stop to refill the fuel tank at some point, so it's not impossible"
You study a bit before you came on this plane about how it operates, you know that it has retractable stairs that you could jump out and skydive from, if you do decide to jump out the plane will have to be flying at bellow 10,000 ft, the landing gears out and the wing flaps at 15 degrees.
[[Have the plane optimised for skydiving]], be careful, your calculations might not be correct,
or stick to just [[Flying normally]] and not skydive out.

<<set $sanTonio to true>>Hopefully by skydiving you avoid being arrested at the airport when you land. "The plane needs to have the wing flaps at 15 degrees, landing wheels out and the retractable stairs on the underbelly of the plane are to remain extended" you say to the captain "Also fly with the cabin lights switched off" you add
"I don't think we can fly with the stairs extended" the captain says "But we can show you how to extend them at any time during the flight"
"That will have to do" you reply
<<if $vancouver == false>>"If we can't fly all the way without stopping we could make a stop in Sacramento, Yuma or Pheonix for a fuel stop" You suggest to the captain
"Those locations are okay but if we are going to refuel the best location is going to be Reno, is that okay with you?" the catpain replied with nervousness, he's probably worried if displeased him.
"That sounds all right" you reply "Reno it is then"<<endif>>
You remember that there are still passengers on this plane, they just came to travel to washington so seeming as your there you could let them off and maybe even some of the crew. <<set $sky to true>>
[[Let the passengers and some of the crew go]]<<if $Option3 == true>>Hopefully buy asking for a parachute your keeping the authorities guessing on what your plans are<<else>> Hopefully buy asking for parachutes your keeping the authorities guessing on what your plans are<<endif>>

You did it! You escaped from the authorities! You have the recources now to start a new life or slip back into your current one, but the main thing is that know one will ever know that you are <i><b>Dan Cooper.</b></i>
This story is based on a real thing that did happen 50 years ago. Dan Cooper or D B Cooper has never been found, just like you, and no-one really knows what happened to him or who he is. If you would like to know more here is a youtube video that tells the story of what happened.

Thanks
--RufusThe cold touch of darkness embrasses you as your life fades. In your last seconds alive you think about what will happen to you, will someone find you and take th money? Will the authorities find you? Or will you be lost to the ages of time and remembered only by myths and bedtime stories. But I you won't find out.
This twine was based on a true story, if you would like to find more out about it I found this video very helpful:

--RufusYou sit on the plane in complete silence, you take this time to try and rest. A while later you wake up to the sound of the plane touching down in Reno. The captain speeks to you over the telephone;
"The refueling should take less than half an hour"
So you close your eyes again. You open them to only find yourself in the back of a police van handcuffed, the driver says to you
"You ain't gonna see the sun rise for a very long time"

1. add the option to choose which parachute to take
2. add the option to take a hostage with you<<set $Num = [0, 0, 1, 2]>>
<<if $Num.random() == 0>> This actually worked?<</if>><<set $hot = [0, 1]>>
<<if $hot.random() == 0>>you failed hotwiring, try to [[hot wire]] agian<<else>> success<</if>>
you slowly edge down the stairs then leap out into the pitch black, cloudy and rainy night,<i> not the best conditions evedently </i>. You feel the strong wind contorting your face,<i> maybe having a skydiving mask would of been a good idea.</i> The visibility is very low and you only have a vague idea on where you jumped out. You start to wish you had planned a proper flight path with the captain but the refueling had taken much longer then you expected.
[[pull your parachute]]
You just start walking in the direction think east is. After walking for about 3 hours in the freezing cold you find yourself in a town called Amboy at about midnight, all the stores seem closed so you look around and eventualy find a map of the town and to your suprise you find out there is a train station, you take a mental picture of the map and head for the staion. Once you arrive there you find a decripit back alley near by and fall alseep on top of your parachutes. After a painfully uncomfortable rest you get up and walk to the train station, once you arrive you walk to the ticket booth. You ask the man working there for a one way ticket for the next train that leaves. There's a look of uncertainty in his eyes so you decide to pay out of your wallet instead of the knapsack to not arouse more suspition. You wait around half an hour for the train to arrive, you board it and make your way to the last carridge and sit at the front. A while later the ticket inspector comes down and clips your ticket, then the trains starts rolling forwards and you begin to dream of your new life.
[[The End]]You succesfully hijacked a plane! Well done.
