I like this guy.

Thoughts and prayers for all the families. No matter the cause, or fault. And hope that lessons learned will prevent any future similar occurrence.

Their altitude was below 400 ft and I don't think TCAS alerts below 1000 ft otherwise it may tell you to descend which would put you in the water/terrain.

My wife's 2016 Jeep Cherokee sends an alarm and stops on it's own if an object is too close to it when backing up! You mean to tell me the Jeep has better technology than Helicopters and Commercial Jet Planes?

Curious, would the third person on the helicopter have any responsibility or played any part in this accident?

Better brakes maybe?

Your jeep doesn't have near the closing speed of a Blackhawk helicopter. And 1 or 2 seconds is 1 or 2 seconds, even if proximity alerts did go off.
