In the area where the blast happened, helicopters with search beams have been circling overhead.

I have no idea what a search beam could be in the context of a helicopter and neither does Google. Mind you the mental image of helicopters tentatively prodding the area with large lengths of steel girder amuses me. I imagine the journalist meant a searchlight. The comma is redundant as well.
