The courts really ought to require that all the facts are in before allowing
the suits to go forward.

A February 2005 crash has resulted in a $3.5 million out-of-court settlement
for the family of a Circuit City buyer who was a passenger on the flight to
Pueblo Memorial Airport, Colorado. All eight aboard the aircraft were
killed. The payment will be made by Circuit City and Martinair, the
Richmond, Virginia-based manager of the aircraft. The NTSB has not
determined a cause for the accident, but pilots mentioned icing shortly
before the crash while on an approach to Runway 26R in IMC conditions.
