What do you guys think of this tweet NBC sent out:
Right before they sent it the realDonaldTrump account retweeted a Drudge Report tweet from an hour earlier declaring it s terrorist attack. However two minutes before NBC sent the above tweet out (probably as they were writing it up) POTUS sent these two:
Was NBC News right to wait until they had further information including a declaration from Scotland Yard that this was terrorism? I think so.
Edit : I've only been watching the BBC coverage and I'm surprised they didn't deploy the helicopter to show the scene. Was the attack in a restricted area?
Pres. Trump has used Twitter to share news report on London incident.

We aren't relaying president's retweet, as the info is unconfirmed.

We need to be smart, vigilant and tough. We need the courts to give us back our rights. We need the Travel Ban as an extra level of safety!

Whatever the United States can do to help out in London and the U. K., we will be there - WE ARE WITH YOU. GOD BLESS!

Not particularly restricted but the Shard (Europe's tallest building) is right next door so would restrict flying around there.
Not sure a helicopter would be that useful, especially at night. Also Borough Market where one of the attacks happened is undercover, and around there is quite built up with some fairly narrow streets. You wouldn't see much. If it happened on the bridge itself it would be more useful (and the river itself is less restricted to flying), but I think it was on the approach to the bridge
