    Authorities in Florida are searching for a passenger who reportedly opened the rear door of a Piper PA-46 and jumped out on Thursday afternoon.
    The pilot calls in "mayday, mayday, mayday", then tells an air traffic controller what has happened.
    "He opened the back door and he just fell down the plane," the pilot confirmed.

    A sure fire Darwin award there, who the hell opens the door during the flight unless you're wearing a parachute!

    It's probably the one new toilets that Ryanair have installed, open the door and piss out the back of the plane.

    Hmm Florida, private plane, no other witnesses.

    I've seen Indiana Jones when the guy "had no ticket"

    Probably had a big life insurance policy, living it up now in Ecuador or Argentina after using his parachute to fly to safety.

    How would he get his hands on the money?

    Would the policy say 'In the event of the death of the policy holder, transfer the squids into his little-known South American a/c?"

    it would be more like, in the event of my death, give the money to the missus

    Would you trust your missus? You're 'dead', remember?

    I assume that the copycat had a large bag of cash?

    Link
    D. B. Cooper is a media epithet popularly used to refer to an unidentified man who hijacked a Boeing 727 aircraft in the airspace between Portland, Oregon, and Seattle, Washington, on November 24, 1971, extorted $200,000 in ransom, and parachuted to an uncertain fate.

    Probably, sadly, a suicide. A sad end and a pity someone saw no other option for themself. There's always another option. Good reason why it's healthy not to sweat the big stuff, let alone the small stuff.

    Maybe he was watching Point Break, fell asleep, dreamt he was Bodhi, slept walked and jumped.

    Long shot, I know.
