I think the most troubling feature is the time convention "time zone of the reader". How should anyone make a valid assumption about that? I think its a better practice to include a common time zone abbreviation.

The convention may work for tracking conversations, but knowing the exact time that the helicopter was spotted relative to other events seems more important. Yet, by their convention you can only accurately compare it with the time of other cited tweets.
