Howard Stern lost his job in DC back in the early 80s after he called up Air Florida and asked how much for a ticket from Washington National to the 14th Street bridge, shortly after the crash. It didnt keep him from going on in his career.
So it was a bit more than just the 14th St. Bridge call to Air Florida, because he didn't get fired until 6 months later.
I always thought it was Greaseman, but he got fired by saying something to the affect it's surprising more aren't drug behind trucks, in reference to that disgusting event where an older black man was drug behind a pickup truck by two white boys.
