They used to have roller skating nights on the Metrodome concourse, so I'm sure the demand would be there

TODAY IS DB COOPER DAY
TODAY IS D.B. COOPER DAY There will be a lot of bad information out there on social media but you'll have to look past it, dig into what you know. Cooper survived the jump – each of the copycat skyjackers, including those using a parachute for the first time, survived their jumps. Cooper launched into drizzly autumn weather in clothes that, while somewhat inappropriate, were far from a hindrance, let alone a danger. Cooper also came and left with a bag (contents unknown) beside the briefcase which carried the bomb, a satchel to contain gloves, compass, survival rations. The cash was strapped to his body by a parachute he tore apart before jumping. The jump point is certain, cleared of water and dense forest, idling down Vector 23 around 8:15 PM Pacific, and they found no body or chute or money. The likely landing point was not wooded, but mostly pastured and nearly suburban. The idea that Cooper jumped into a heavily-forested mountain range is a myth propagated by that book with the small chapter on D.B. Cooper that we all checked out of the library in fourth grade about a guy who hijacked an airplane with a bomb the night before Thanksgiving. Investigators didn't make the area until several days later, long after Cooper got away. He could have napped through Thanksgiving and Black Friday with enough time on Saturday and Sunday to walk his way toward a stashed getaway car or even rowboat, unseen.

I figured there had to be an atrocity with that name somewhere in British history
WIKIPEDIA Black Friday (1910) For other events, see List of Black Fridays. Black Friday was a suffragette demonstration in London on 18 November 1910, in which 300 women marched to the Houses of Parliament as part of their campaign to secure voting rights for women. The day earned its name from the violence meted out to protesters, some of it sexual, by the Metropolitan Police and male bystanders.
