Now that you're familiar with it, you should check out these Beatles I've been hearing a little bit about. They've apparently written a couple of toe-tappers.

I was born in 1974 and was not watching media in my teens in the 80's. By the time I started paying attention to things other than girls, beer, sports, and friends, it was very late 90's and I never came across the story.

I did hear about the Air France hijacking in the 70's and I remember a bad/violent one in the mid 80's, but I guess I am very late to the game on Cooper.

I find it truly remarkable that this escaped your field of vision for so long! My comparison to the Beatles isn't so far off, either. In the world of unsolved crimes, perhaps only Jack the Ripper is more notorious and better known.

Well, I'm glad you managed to finally hear about it. It's been done to death, but if you're fresh to it and have interest, it can prove fascinating for a great amount of time.
