icing accident

Hi guys,

I recall some time ago I was told that an aircraft had an accident due to airframe icing..

Basically the captain was in the queue for takeoff and he went very close to the aircraft preceding him so as to use the warm air going out of the preceding aircraft's engines to melt down the ice..

And then he crashed when trying to get airborne!

Do you have any more details on this?

Thanks in advance!
