Your wrong about everything.
First, the LCEP folks HAVE done surveys of the Oregon side, they also have projects on the Washington side. They even have a map detailing debris finds which indicate debris on both sides of the river. Obviously, the areas that they have conducted surveys have more debris. The other areas are populated by finds from citizens who report it to them. Perhaps, you should read the whole website. Better yet, call them, talk to them about their research, and find out what I have. Doubt you will though, because doing so would completely ruin your narrative.
Second, just because you continually post something for 11 years doesn’t make it correct. I could post that Santa Claus is a real guy for the next 11 years, and it would still be wrong.
Third, we have know way of knowing how the money arrived on Tena Bar, but you’re right about one thing: water DOES flow downhill. And Tena Bar is downhill from the I-5 bridge area. Perhaps the money bag snagged on a log and the log ended up on the beach when the flood waters receded? Who knows?
Also, you can take Bernoulli and shove him right up your ass. I don’t give a shit. You try to come off as a pseudo-intellectual know-it-all when the truth is you are literally wrong about everything regarding this case. You talk about fluid dynamics when in reality your entire narrative depends upon your personal opinion about what the pilots would do and your belief that the FBI was “covering something up”. Let us know what that was when you find out, will you? Meanwhile, your hypotheses completely fall apart when faced with the facts of the case.
Have a great day.

Chaucer, I have a serious question. I presume that you are referring to Bernoulli's Equation, with which I am quite familiar. So seriously, how can I shove an equation up my posterior? Have you discovered a new scientific principle?
So I am "wrong about everything"? My original assumption that you might at least have some knowledge of what you are talking about was obviously wrong. :(

Register or LoginDid Danny select his moniker from a comic book? Maybe. Maybe not. I think the latter. If true, though, it's a hellava coincidence.
As for Danny being a Canuck, I feel he was not. To wit: the "negotiable American currency" quote is from a cockpit teletype thingie from 305 to NWO. Is that what Danny actually said? Maybe. Maybe not. Again, I opt for the latter.
If Danny spoke in such intellectualized and arcane language, I think Tina would have picked up on it. Her quote in the Philly-based debrief in a 302 has her stating simply, "he wanted cash." That sounds like the Danny Boy I have come to know and love.
Did a favorable exchange rate motivate a Canadian to cross the border and steal a US jetliner so he could get American buckaroos? Maybe. But I strongly think other, more compelling factors would have guided his thinking.
Look at it this way - flip the premise. Would an American want to cross the border into Canada to jack a plane because he saw some advantage? I wouldn't. There are too many Canadian slang terms that could trip me up along the way, such as someone asking me if a want a "touk?" I had a girlfriend do that on a cold day and I looked at her like she had two heads. Then she explained it was a wool ski cap.
Or someone saying, "Yo, dude, you dropped your toonie." Or shouting "Arrete," while I cross a street in traffic - lots of ways to out a Yankee north o' the border, which may be why those who fly the red maple leaf have turned me down twice for immigration - once to Quebec and once to BC.
Capice?

If no one has already checked this, I just read that in 1971 the Canadian and US dollar were almost at par: $1 US = .99 CDN. (In more recent decades, this has been rare; in fact, certain sectors here depend on the Canadian dollar not getting too high, strange as that sounds - ex. US movie companies are more likely to film here if our dollar's lower. We were at par again a few years back, I believe, and it was a mixed bag.) So there would have been no advantage to going over the border for it. I don't really have an opinion on if he chose his name from the comic books. It would be a helluva coincidence, but it's also a helluva common name. :) I saw a Cannon from the same year, pre-jump, with a character called Dan Cooper. He could simply have picked it out of a phone book. I also have lived in Canada all my life minus 3 years, and I had never heard of the Dan Cooper comics before this case. And we did have comics in French class, mostly TinTin and Asterix.

This book looks at the case from the perspective of a mathematician and pilot. It uses previously unexamined data and original-source documents, combined with the tools of statistics, aeronautics, and meteorology, to show where and how the FBI could resume the search and possibly find out at last who "D. B. Cooper" really was.
