A twin-engined Cessna crashed this morning in dense fog in East Palo Alto, California, killing its three occupants. According to reports, the plane was owned by a Senior Electrical Engineer for Tesla by the name of Doug Bourn. Although authorities have not released the names of the deceased, it is believed that Mr. Bourn was accompanied on his flight by two other executives from Tesla’s upper echelon. Co-founder Elon Musk has since advised a worried public that he was not on board the plane as had been originally believed.
