Who knows though. Basically, the AZ republic said that when they (the pilots) are given clearance by the tower to be in the area, the tower then backs off and the pilots communicate with each other. A former pilot said that it is crazy up there because they are 1) communicating with the other pilots 2) communicating with their station 3) listening to the police scanner 4) giving live reports all at the same time. It can be pretty chaotic.

I heard, maybe from the same guy you saw, that the one helicopter got too close and got sucked into the other one. A horrible story though.
