REDWOOD SHORES, Calif. (AP) — A small plane that crashed into a lagoon off San Francisco Bay, killing a woman, belongs to the founder of a local steel company who is also feared dead.
An employee of R.E. Borrmann's Steel Co. says the twin-engine Beechcraft Queen Air was owned by company founder 92-year-old Robert Borrmann.
Employee Charlene Marshall says Borrmann, his girlfriend and the pilot are believed to have been in the plane that crashed a mile after taking off from San Carlos airport.
Redwood City Fire Battalion Chief Dave Pucci says divers recovered the body of a 40-year-old woman outside the plane. They are searching for other possible victims.
Divers have been hindered in the rescue because of contamination in the lagoon from a 48,000-gallon sewage spill last week.
