A member of the Air Force crash investigation team surveys the tail section of the Air Force C-130 that crashed and burned near the top of Sheep Mountain near Jackson, Wyoming, on Tuesday, Aug. 20, 1996. The C-130, which carried support equipment for President Clinton's vacation, went down on takeoff late Saturday night. Nine people were killed in the crash.

Wyoming History: 30 Years Ago Clinton Plane Crashed Into Jackson Mountain

It was a pitch-black night 30 years ago this week when a President Clinton support C-130 ignored takeoff protocol and slammed into Sheep Mountain above Jackson at 200 mph, killing all nine onboard. The impact created a fireball that could be seen for miles.

George "Big Nose" Parrott’s skin was sent to a tannery in Denver with instructions to fashion a pair of shoes with the dead man’s nipples on each to prove they were footwear made from a human being.

Yes, Skin From Wyoming Wild West Outlaw "Big Nose George" Was Used To Make Shoes

This is the macabre story of a once-common practice of binding books with human skin — and how Wyoming did that one better by skinning notorious Wild West outlaw "Big Nose George" and making him into a pair of shoes. His skull was made into an ashtray.
