buy Circuit City for $3.25B. Just heard a plane crashed in Pueblo Colorado on approach into the airport killing at least 7. The private plane was owned by Circuit City. I have a bad case of the creeps over this. Circuit City was to announce details of this potential buyout this afternoon. I haven't found the airplane crash story but I'll keep an eye out.
