A prominent German businessman was piloting the private plane that crashed into the Baltic Sea after flying half way across Europe without responding to controllers' calls.
Karl-Peter Griesemann is thought to have been at the helm of the Austria-registered Cessna 551 - which costs around a $1million new - when it left Jerez in southern Spain yesterday afternoon.
The jet flew from Spain, turning at Paris and Cologne before flying straight out into the Baltic Sea.
