once you know to look at those two specific flights it probably gets easier, yeah. if you were looking at everything in the air at the time I think less so?


I mean, you can get the data from an API, probably. Then you just write a python script to keep an eye on colliding trajectories.


I'm sorry, do you HONESTLY think ATC doesn't do that? ATC was literally mid conversation with the helicopter to deconflict it's path when the collision happened.

What is it with people insisting that the smart people literally tasked with their job somehow have no idea how to do it?


Well, it appears that the situation came as a surprise to at least one of the parties involved.
