Senior-level staff members for two construction companies – Tishman Construction of New York and APG International of Glassboro, N.J. – and the project’s owner, Revel Entertainment, died in the crash, as did both pilots, who were preparing to land at a regional airport in Owatonna, about an hour south of Minneapolis. The group was visiting Viracon Glass Inc., which is supplying glass for the casino’s curtain wall.
