From what I'm reading, the H-60s would regularly fly in the path of RWY33.
ATC was supposed to tell traffic that other traffic was present, where it was, and to divert if necessary. The jet was circling to land. The heli, not knowing what traffic was where, was looking at a different aircraft.
It sounds like ATC is directly to blame here.
I'm guessing DEI in the ATC tower makes DOA. The New Math formula is ATC+DEI=DOA.
