After the mysterious crash of a plane in the Baltic Sea, Latvian rescue workers have found more remains of the crashed machine and personal belongings of the occupants. The finds were made on Wednesday using a robot on the seabed, Latvian Navy spokeswoman Liva Veita told Leta news agency on Thursday. According to Veita, the Navy search is now complete.
The filming of the robot has therefore been handed over to the responsible authorities to decide on further measures. The private plane flew over the Baltic Sea on Sunday en route from Spain to Cologne. There it plunged into the sea in the evening off the coast west of the Latvian port of Ventspils. Communication with the Cessna 551 with four people on board had been interrupted long before the accident. According to the Latvian authorities, there is no longer any hope of survivors.
Entrepreneurial family still missing
The identity of the passengers has still not been officially confirmed. However, the systems engineering company Griesemann from Wesseling near Cologne had already announced that the four missing persons were the company founder Peter Griesemann, two family members and another person. The news of the possible death of Griesemann, who is also active as a carnival participant, caused sadness and horror in Cologne.
According to the Latvian accident investigation agency, further investigation into the plane crash will now be taken over by German authorities. “We are a kind of support agency from Latvia, but Germany will have all further information,” said agency chief Anita Skinuma.
