In ATC audio the crew of the VIP transport BlackHawk can be heard confirming they had a CRJ commerciel jet in sight and were maintaining seperation.

However the airspace was fairly busy with a flight departing at the same time. It's possible the blackhawk crew were monitoring the wrong flight.

The VIP flight's position is a low quality estimate and was likely not operating TCAS or ADS-B transponders at the time of the deadly crash.

In a heart breaking interview a man waiting for his wife explains to the news when he realized something had gone wrong.

Really solid video on the DC crash. Seems to indicate the military helicopter had exceeded it's flight ceiling.
