Google Co-Founder Is Facing a Wrongful Death Lawsuit from Pilot’s Widow Over Fatal Plane Crash

Sergey Brin, a cofounder of Google, is facing a wrongful-death lawsuit stemming from a plane crash last year that killed two crew members en route to a private island in the South Pacific.

The suit, which the pilot’s widow, Maria Magdalena Olarte Maclean, filed, alleges that a plane Brin partly owned was improperly fitted with an auxiliary fuel tank for the long flight from California to Hawaii.

The lawsuit also alleges Brin intentionally delayed the recovery process.
