The Dryden accident is a very well known one. Much more complex than just "rapid ice buildup on top of the wings due to the cold fuel." And yes, there was no "heating to prevent this." No airplane so far has any heating of the wings to prevent ice forming on the ground. I guess you are not a pilot?
