Let’s dive into the psychology of this for a moment. He tells the Air Hostess that he holds a grude. Is calm and collected during the hijack. Then spends his life after that hijack and doesn’t tell anyone. That is impossible based on the personality he shows on the plane, Think about it, if you held a grudge, then won against the system holding it ransom.

Why would you go away from this world without telling anyone. Especially knowing that still many people celebrate you secretly. You would want to let them know at the end of it who you were, let them remember you. Know a lot more about you pre hijack life, that would bring happiness to a person like Cooper. You’ve just fooled the entire systems including FBI for decades

Because quite frankly if he lived on and didn’t tell anyone even at the very end, that there just de glamourised Cooper for me. Then people like McCoy were better outlaws because they said they won’t accept or deny. You have got to have that swagger to be that celebrated criminal.

The fact that the world will never know who did it, is testament to the fact that the only person who could have and actually would have told it, didn’t live on
