Then the 'panic' started. A Virgin 737 was given a traffic alert, and told to look out for the jump aircraft and the canopies. The poor girl did sound rather stressed at that point, repeating ALERT ALERT to the 737, giving a new heading of what I thought was 020.
That's exactly how I heard it. I also remember hearing the controller in the background shorty after sounding very very distressed. And that was in the background after another controller had taken over. One thing that hasn't been mentioned is the absolutely professional way that this very same controller had helped guide another pilot who was lost back to Camden. That took about 30-40 minutes of careful guidance and was inspiring to listen to. This happened less than an hour before the parachute aircraft/virgin incident. I can't help but feel compassion for this lady. She must have had a roller coaster of emotions that day.
