Wow these videos. I know looks can be deceiving but it just looks...so intentional. How do you not notice a jet flying at you. Do Blackhawks not have windows on the side? Are there blind spots? [/quote]

Plexiglass bubble, and they were way above the tree line so no excuse not to see or look slightly left at a plane lining up for runway 33.
Plus the fact that ATC told them the facts twice. [/quote]

At night it can be hard to tell if a stationary light in the sky is a light on the ground, or a light from a plane traveling directly at you. I help my dad spot traffic in his plane whenever I see him, and have since I was a teen, and night flying can be tricky because of that even in clear conditions.[/quote]

The pilots had night vision goggles on so there shouldn't have been as much glare. It makes no sense that they didn't see the plane. [/quote]

The pilots had night vision goggles on board - no information gives concrete info on whether or not they were wearing them or not. And again, the planes light could have appeared entirely stationary in the sky - which can make it hard to determine that it is a plane.

The crash is awful - and my hope is that the investigation by the NTSB is thorough and not politicized so that our system can learn good lessons from it so it doesn't happen again.[/quote]
