In addition to 'Dryden' there was a similar accident at LaGuardia a few years after, USAir405. Thee have been a few others to the Fokkers including in France a few years ago (where everyone walked away, I think). Dryden was probably the 'wake up call' accident as far as ground icing is concerned, the 'clean aircraft concept' more or less started there.

There's also been accidents to the Canadair Challenger - derived aircraft which have been similar: a Challenger 604 at Birmingham in the UK and a CRJ in China, for example.
