25 years ago before the internet was common and there were hundreds of TV channels (let along specific news channels) these sort of things were happening. But today when it happens you hear about it almost immediately (tweets, rss, breaking news, satellite coverage) and in very sensationalized means ("This can happen to you - how to protect yourself coming up after the break").
Yes, it is sad, but please try to maintain perspective.
