Absolutely baffling.

Even if the theory that the helicopter though ATC was referring to a different airplane is true, that is inexplicable. By the time they collide, the helicopter is perpendicular to the airplane, rendering the issues with spotting a plane that is dead on irrelevant. The Black Hawk is capable of heroic maneuvers in that situation, it is a very agile aircraft. But we don't see the helicopter slow up or move at all to evade the airplane. It just plows right into it.

I am more confused than ever.[/quote]

Me again.

Also it appears the helicopter is actually coming down in altitude at the moment of impact, but we know from the radar that they'd climbed up in altitude shortly before this. If they'd continued their original trajectory of climb, they might have gone over the aircraft as it descended. Potentially the plane also adjusted altitude at the last minute, that's harder to see on these videos because you are looking at the plane head on from the runway. But wow does it really look like the helicopter noses down straight into the plane.[/quote]

All the radars have the altitude and oaths marked for the black hawk and all jets. 
You are wrong.

It was 200 ft for awhile, then when at DCA it doubled in altitude. Then collided with the landing CRJ. But yeah, then it dropped altitude fast.[/quote]
