399 - The DB Cooper Copycat Hijacking

On the 7th of April, 1972, United Airlines Flight 855, was en route to Los Angeles. 20 minutes after making a stopover in Denver, a passenger is noticed holding a hand grenade. From there, things get hectic! Is this a DB Cooper copycat? Or even DB Cooper up to his old tricks again? Tune in to hear this wild story!


This is a comedy/history podcast, the report begins at approximately 03:56 (though as always, we go off on tangents throughout the report).
