Granted the outcome was completely opposite, but the only other accident where I can remember the pilot getting their picture on the news so fast was the Mesa Beech in Charlotte.
We had Ron Jeremy a few years ago going from BOS to BUF. He was in town doing something at a local strip club. He signed the release for the captain and asked me a few questions while he was waiting for his bag on the ramp. Seemed like a nice enough guy.
