I absolutely do NOT believe my eyes . . . when I was a kid this guy was my Dad's boss!!! I shit you not. He looks that way because of a plane crash. After 108 gallons of high octane fuel went up on impact, the polyester suit he was wearing melted to him, saving his life. He then crawled, blind, through the snow, a great distance to a highway where he was rescued by passing motorists IIRC. Throughout all of the hundreds of reconstructive surgeries he had, he SANG religious hymns through most of it . . . incredible man, he wrote a book about it called "Tested By Fire"
