Helicopter Crashes Into North Salt Lake Building

Two men were killed Tuesday when their helicopter crashed into a vacant two-story building. North Salt Lake police identified the men as Claus Hauer and Bruce Orr. Both were residents of the Wasatch Front, according to North Salt Lake Police Chief Craig Black. Hauer was a former chopper pilot for KUTV. The crash occurred just before 2 p.m. at 501 W. 900 North. Black did not know Tuesday whether the helicopter was a commercial vehicle or was being used for training. Sky Park Airport in Woods Cross is very close to the crash site and has a high number of daily helicopter flights.
