Google cofounder Sergey Brin 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 lawsuit also alleges that Brin intentionally delayed the recovery process. The suit identifies Brin, Google, and Bayshore Global Management — Brin's family office — as the "owner/operators" of the aircraft. While the lawsuit does mention various recovery efforts conducted by Brin's team, it alleges frequent and drawn-out delays. Olarte Maclean alleges that Brin's representatives cited weather conditions at the crash site and their interactions with the USCG as excuses.

Sophie Grégoire Trudeau and Prime Minister of Canada Justin Trudeau speak at the 2017 Juno Awards at Canadian Tire Centre. But I sent him an email the next day, and he never replied," Grégoire Trudeau recalled in her October 2011 interview with Diamond. I didn't delete it, I just decided, 'No, I'm better off not starting anything that I'm not willing to go through with,'" Trudeau told the Canadian magazine Maclean's in June 2005. The couple ended up getting engaged in October 2004, on what would have been Trudeau's late father's 85th birthday, per Maclean's.
