It is very disappointing that NBC cut the entire tribute to the victims of the 7/7 bombings in London. The bombings happened the day after the accouncment that London was to host the games. It was a very moving & emotional tribute and an important part of the night, but the American public was denied that. I don't understand why? Please post the clip that NBC cut, people should be able to see it.
