UNSOLVED MYSTERIES

The Northwest Orient Airlines Flight 305

On November 24, 1971, a man that resembled Michael Douglas’ character in Falling Down sat down and requested a soda. The man is D.B. Cooper and he is about to become an American legend. After lighting a cigarette he passed the stewardess a note saying that he’ll detonate a bomb if he isn’t given $200,000 in cash and four parachutes.

After the FBI gives him the money and parachutes, he straps it to himself and asks for the plane to go to Mexico City. After 45 minutes in the air he offers each of the stewardesses $2,000 dolars, opens a door in the back, and jumps into the darkness and rain.

Maybe a possible explication is that he had balls that were made of diamonds. Expert experienced paratrooper and skydivers swear that there is no way he could have survived the jump but no body is ever found.

I think, this is just another picture taked from a movie, and if it would really happen, all the crew had died because of the descompresion.

The Dyatlov Pass Accident

Nine Russian cross-country skiers went on a trek through the Ural Mountains in 1959. They were forced to set up camp during a snow storm but something scared them enough to make they went to a near forest wearing practically nothing. Not surprisingly, all were found dead afterwards. None of them had any signs of outward trauma.

The most strange is four were found in strange circumstances: two had crushed ribs, one had a crushed skull, and one was missing her tongue. These four were found with radiation and families swear that their skin turned orange and their hair white.

I think that the skin color can have a medical explication and everybody made a bid deal of nothing.

Mary Celeste

On November 7, 1872 the ship departed New York with Captain Briggs, his wife, young daughter and a crew of eight. The ship was loaded with 1700 barrels of raw American alcohol bound for Genoa, Italy. The captain, his family and crew were never seen again. The ship was found floating in the middle of the Strait of Gibraltar. There were no signs of struggle on board and all documents except the captain’s log were missing.

In early 1873, it was reported that two lifeboats grounded in Spain, one with a body and an American flag, the other containing five bodies. It has been alleged that these could have been the remains of the crew of the Mary Celeste. However, the bodies were apparently never identified.

I think this is a real mystery or maybe they just lost the way, but it doesn't have many sense for a captain with a lot of experience.
