Radar Images and Radio Communications from Aircraft Collision in Washington, D.C.

Writes Tim McGraw:
Start the Video at 2:00. The control tower contacts PAT25 (the Blackhawk helicopter) three times, telling PAT25 to pass aft of the incoming CRJ (Canadian Airliner) and maintain separation.
The Blackhawk helicopter, PAT25, never replies to the tower’s commands. That’s not right. Something is going on here. If it was a training flight, the instructor or the pilot of the helicopter would have replied to the tower and acknowledged the order to fly aft of the CRJ flight.
