Air traffic controller audio captured the moment the air traffic control operators asked the helicopter if the commercial flight operated by PSA Airlines was in sight.

Citing data LiveATC.net, CNN reported that an air traffic controller said, “PAT 2-5 do you have the CRJ in sight?”

The controller then said, “PAT 2-5 pass behind the CRJ.”

The audio then captured audible gasps, including a loud “oooh” in the background apparently from the tower, at the moment of the crash.

The tower then alerted another pilot of what had taken place.

“I don’t know if you caught earlier what happened, but there was a collision on the approach end of 3-3. We are going to be shutting down operations for the indefinite future if you want to go back to the gate. Highly suggest you guys coordinate with the company. Let me know what you want to do,” the controller says, referencing runway 33.

The audio also revealed that another pilot had seen the incident and confirmed with an air traffic controller.
