There are two kinds of days: slow news days, and tragedies. Which do you prefer? It gets worse, or it stays the same.

A school gets shot up, or it doesn't. Another genocide starts, or it doesn't. A telescope collapses, or it doesn't. It gets worse, or it stays the same.

We now go on location to ABC correspondent Tish Yu for the details."
