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.

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.
