But why? If you were going slow because you couldn't see, why would you then accelerate to 180+ mph when you still couldn't see? This just doesn't make any sense to me.
And don't they have collision avoidance systems on aircraft for just this sort of thing??

He was probably hovering circling around trying to get bearings or a visual. A 13 million dollar helicopter most likely had a pretty extensive avionics package probably state of the art navigation. Either it failed or he made a serious blunder and flew off in wrong direction that he thought was right considering how hard he hit that hill.
