Corrected entry: All the TV crew vehicles on Saint Peter's Square are Ford E-Series vans, which is a US-only model. While some, those used by US networks, could have been exported, European networks would have no reason to do so.

Corrected entry: No helicopter can climb more than 5-6 km, and even at 5-6 km height a 5 kiloton bomb would destroy a city. The Hiroshima bomb was actually triggered at a height of about 500-1000 meters to maximise the effect.
Correction: Not true. A helicopter has been flown as high as the summit of Mount Everest, a height of 29.000', or 5.5 miles (9 kms). While most helicopters fly well under that ceiling, in the mountains where I live, it is common to see helicopters flying over 18.000' (just under 6 kms) to clear the tops of mountains.

Correction: Not all the vans are Ford E-Series first of all. Second, they can be imported to Europe with a few restrictions, so there being a lot of them is not that unusual. I have seen Fords and Chryslers in Moscow, for instance, and it is tougher to get those vehicles into Russia than many other European countries.
