He apparently was speaking when the breaking news alerts occurred on screens behind him. He wasn't alerted until someone got him off stage.
MSNBC stayed with it until the plane took off.
He was apparently scheduled to speak at an event that evening, and there was also the question about whether he would be allowed to use the FBI plane to return to the east coast, so I guess the added value was to answer both of those.

That's right - my understanding was that he was also scheduled to speak at another event later, that got cancelled.

No aerial footage here but thought I'd like to share pictures of the two helicopters we have in Baltimore. WJZ's in the foreground is Bell 206 built in 1981 with a FLIR 16:9 SD camera. WBAL's in the background is a Eurocopter AS350B built in 1988 equipped with a HD Cineflex camera. Both are up in the air in the afternoons and early evenings either covering news or if there isn't any there are used for beauty bump shots.
Worth noting that there are much larger markers where helicopters are pooled amongst multiple stations.
Edit : Found some information about WBAL's Cineflex system is a V14HD with a Sony HDC-1500 head.
Edit 2: Here's an impressive image from WRC's (NBC Washington) Chopper 4 equipped with a Cineflex V14HS head taking a shot of the US Capitol on Inauguration Day. Due to airspace restrictions they had to be seven miles away.
We've covered 3 #motorcycle accidents in the first 3 days of this week - one fatal. Please keep your eyes open and be safe. @cbsbaltimore pic.twitter.com/3Jw7qxzrJL

On their DTT, some stations broadcast their smaller channels at 16:9 480i.
16:9 SD? In America? Whaaaa?

The 16:9 SD chopper is the only SD device in their signal chain that they can control. Traffic cameras are still in SD but they are managed by the state.
Many of the diginets (the smaller channels carried in the multiplex) I believe operate in native HD but are not distributed in HD.

Here's a report from KCBS/KCAL that profiles their aerial photojournalist Stu Mundel. Stu is the duopolies eye in the sky covering Southern California and was named one of the top 50 people to follow in LA news. He reports to work at 2PM and spends his time on the ground listening to multiple police scanners and is in contact with the news desk to be deployed.
Apparently KTLA stayed with the shot long enough to see him get shot by police.
So... quite the pursuit yesterday. Looked like ABC7 stayed with the shot way longer than everyone else. KTLA were zoomed out way quite early.
