Here is one report regarding why the plane might have gotten so close without notifying air traffic controllers:

NBC's Jay Blackman reported it was a fixed-wing aircraft operating under visual flight rules, which means the aircraft did not have to be in contact with air traffic controllers.

Poor weather in the area for VFR flight (Visual Flight Rules)
Likely inadvertantly got into instrument weather conditions and lost control.
A top of the list pilot killer. VFR into instrument meteorological conditions.

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.
