The airplane was on a perfect and routine line of approach to the airport. The helicopter was going straight at the airplane for an extended period of time. It is a CLEAR NIGHT, the lights on the plane were blazing, why didn’t the helicopter go up or down,...
Military helicopter with no radar warning in cockpit of another aircraft on collision course. Right…
I'd heard different takes on the anti-collision technology - one said there was no equipment of that sort on board (unlikely as you imply) and another saying it was designed to be inoperable below a certain altitude (which makes NO sense whatsoever to me).
Between the tower not having them at different altitudes and the helicopter pilot -plus two other sets of military eyes - not adjusting for the plainly visible, properly-lighted commercial plane - this is feeling like something other than an accident.
I just watched Trump's press conference, worth a listen, approximately thirty-five minutes of him speaking and taking questions. Starts at 56:30 --

There was a robot Blackhawk announcement last year, that was supposed to be in operation this year...
Yeah, saw that.

President Donald Trump has blamed diversity and inclusion for one of the deadliest plane crashes in U.S. history.
Trump: 'The FAA website states they include hearing, vision, missing extremities, partial paralysis, complete paralysis, epilepsy, severe intellectual disability, psychiatric disability and dwarfism all qualified for the position of a controller of air planes pouring into our country, pouring into a little spot. A little dot on the map. A runway.'

My first thought when stupid shit like this happens is DEI hires somewhere.
Who can say, kamikaze?
Definitely a thought though, if the released tower communications are valid/real, all three soldiers (on the helicopter) may have had to be in on it. Alternatively, I suppose, the pilot may have been the senior person and instructed them to keep quiet and told them that barreling directly towards the commercial flight was part of their training. Still, I would have expected to hear a little "Aloha Snackbar!" or such before the actual collision (like that nutbag Egyptian pilot a couple decades ago).
Another possibility is remote-control of the helicopter, but then I would have expected to hear those same men screaming bloody murder that their control of the helo was compromised.
Some new blackhawks don't need anyone on board. They can be completely unmanned. Are we absolutely sure there was 3 people aboard?
No, we're not sure, but can presume that the released tower recording, assuming it's actual/real, indicates the ATC obviously thought someone was on board the helo. Unmanned, as you posit here, is a definite possibility.
As is likely usual after a disaster event there's a lot of confusion, a proliferation of info, some of it made up out of thin air. I'd originally heard there were three survivors, had heard the DoD whisked the "3 soldiers" off to a nearby base (bodies or injured guys?) and people were complaining we'd never know the actual truth.
I've heard the helo tried slamming into four other commercial aircraft before they succeeded in hitting this unfortunate one. Seems a bit outlandish of a claim, as I would have expected someone to notice a bunch of near misses. Then again, if they're DEI ATCs anything is possible.
