I'd be more curious as to how much the nvg's interfere with perph vision. I don't doubt they could easily look under at the panel, and yeah, that's an easy panel to scan.
NTSB did indicate that there's nothing on the cvr to indicate that the Blackhawk crew knew a collision was immanent at any point. You'd think there'd at least be some expletive a second before.
I know speculation isn't fair, but given the mystery right turn a few seconds prior to the collision and the nvg's, I wonder if there was momentary disorientation as to which way was "behind".
