Google’s Sergey Brin settles with family of pilot killed in plane crash

A settlement has been reached in the lawsuit over the deadly crash of a plane owned by Google co-founder Sergey Brin. In May 2023, pilots Dean Rushfeldt and Lance Maclean died when the twin-engine seaplane crashed off the California coast. The aircraft was en route from Santa Rosa to Brin’s private island in Fiji. Rushfeldt’s family filed a lawsuit in July, alleging the crash was caused by defective fuel equipment.
