WTH happened that there was NO COLLISION WARNING from the software being used by the ATC ?

Both aircraft would have had Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) systems in the cockpits. This article:

http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/tcas-mid-air-collsiion-1.7445751
says they may be inoperative at low altitudes.

This may change (IMHO).

Looks like a COMPLETE FUBAR by ATC - the controller directly at fault, directed the landing craft to turn directly into the clearly visible path of the Huey.

Accident, criminally negligent manslaughter, or other reason for such a blatant action ?
