Plane collides with Blackhawk helicopter Washington DC

[putnam6]

The most glaring mistake was the H-60 was too high, for the route. Stay below 200 feet and they will hit some turbulence but will miss each other, am I wrong?

One question I have so if they are using night vision wouldn't that have a HUD where the altitude heading and other info is easily seen?

The chart below depicts the special helicopter routes in the Washington DC area. The NTSB confirmed in its 30 January briefing that the H-60 was flying south transiting from Route 1 to Route 4 along the Potomac River. The chart lists the maximum altitude along that particular route as 200 feet.
