Problem Statement

The circles ω1\omega_1 and ω2\omega_2 centered at O1O_1 and O2O_2 are externally tangent at the point TT. The circle ω3\omega_3 centered at O3O_3 is tangent to the line ABAB (the external common tangent of ω1\omega_1 and ω2\omega_2) at DD and externally tangent to ω1\omega_1 and to ω2\omega_2. The line TDTD intersects again at ω1\omega_1. Prove that O1CABO_1 C \parallel AB.
