Google co-founder Sergey Brin requested a plane to fly from California to his private island in Fiji for parties with friends, according to a lawsuit filed by one of the pilot's widows.

The plane crashed into the Pacific Ocean near Half Moon Bay during the journey, killing both pilots, after the aircraft malfunctioned and ran out of fuel.

The lawsuit alleges Brin continued partying in Fiji despite the crash and did not aid search and recovery efforts for the pilots' remains.

The plane was allegedly illegally modified with extra fuel tanks that failed to transfer fuel properly, contributing to the crash.

The pilot's widow has suffered emotional trauma and filed a lawsuit against Brin, Google, the company that maintained the plane, and others involved for wrongful death and interference with a dead body.
