NBC Cuts Out Olympic Tribute To Terrorism Victims During Opening Ceremonies For American Viewers
According to a report on Deadspin, NBCs broadcast of the Olympic opening ceremonies lacked a crucial portion of the performance a nearly six minute long tribute to the victims of the 2005 7/7 terror attacks which occurred less than one day after London was selected to host the 2012 games. (See Update below)
During the portion of the performance that was not broadcast in the U.S., the BBC announcer asks the audience to observe a moment of silence. The excitement of that moment in Singapore seven years ago when England won the games was tempered the next day with sorrow from the events of July 7th that year, says the BBC announcer. A wall of remembrance for those no longer here to share in this event.
