Cooper’s hijacking note did not directly explain his plan to skydive from the plane but his demands led officials to that assumption. Since he had asked for an extra parachute, they assumed he planned to take a passenger or crew member with him as an airborne hostage.

Cooper demanded four parachutes and $200,000 in $20 bills (worth about $1.2 million in the early 21st century). After the flight landed in Seattle, Cooper released the 36 passengers when authorities provided the money and parachutes.
