    The ATC (afaik) cannot remotely take control of a military helicopter to force it to move out of the way.

      Can they do that with any other airframe? Do they have godlike controls in any other condition?

        No they just send out the information, commands and warnings (they did) and trust that the pilots will pay attention to them and do as instructed. They have no way to force the helicopter to move in that time frame. They can tell it to stay out of the way, and they did. What else are they gonna do? Any consequences they could make happen are after the incident and far too late.
