No one got hurt

The news anchor talked about a tense episode that ended without incident. She concluded her segment with the sentence "and you will be happy to know that no one got hurt".

Really? Is that what we want? I'm pretty sure that if the news only showed happy stories, few would watch. Why do we slow down for accidents? I think we are looking for that which we don't want to see.

Oh the paradox of our humanity.
