No. The presentation was by the head man at the Air Safety Foundation,
though, and if you go to their web page you may be able to find it...or ask
them.

Do you have an NTSB report or an approximate date of this accident? As a
pilot of an aircraft equipped with in-cockpit WSI weather, I am
interesting
in reading more of the details surround it.
