Court records: Claims over 2005 crash of Circuit City jet near Colorado city settled

Claims over 2005 jet crash near Colo. city settled

DENVER — Court records say family members who sued over a fatal Colorado crash of a jet owned by Circuit City Stores Inc. have reached settlements of their lawsuits.

A document filed Thursday in federal court in Denver didn’t disclose terms.

The crash in February 2005 killed the jet’s two pilots and six passengers. The National Transportation Safety Board ruled the pilots were dealing with ice on the wings and a runway change as they approached the Pueblo airport and didn’t notice the plane had slowed to an unsafe speed.

Some of the victims’ survivors sued Cessna Aircraft Co., federal government agencies, and Martinair Inc., alleging they also were partly to blame. The defendants disputed the claims.
