Silsoe posted the BBC chopper link to the riots but Sky also have brought live pictures of unfolding events.
Just like 9/11 it appears the news media are way ahead of what is happening.
I hope the Met helicopters have tracked some of these criminals.
It appears tweets and messaging have played a part in the terrible scenes we have seen unfolding.
Maybe time to get some more up to date tracking kit on board police helicopters.
Have any of the little used choppers in the rural areas been drafted in?
