Read the excerpt from "A Byte Out of History."
Cooper was a quiet man who appeared to be in his
mid-forties, wearing a business suit with a black tie and
white shirt. He ordered a drink [...] while the flight was
waiting to take off. A short time after 3:00 p.m., he
handed the stewardess a note indicating that he had a
bomb in his briefcase and wanted her to sit with him.
The stunned stewardess did as she was told. Opening
a cheap attaché case, Cooper showed her a glimpse of
a mass of wires and red colored sticks and demanded
that she write down what he told her. Soon, she was
walking a new note to the captain of the plane that
demanded four parachutes and $200,000 in twenty-
dollar bills.

a description of the weather conditions during the
flight
O a photograph of the airplane
O a drawing of what Cooper looked like
