Cheap Timeline

11:00am
: Irwin stabbed by stingray
12:00pm: Irwin declared dead
3:00pm: Police report released
5:30pm: Google News indexes 301 articles from Internet news sources
6:30pm: Google News indexes 502 articles from Internet news sources
9:30pm: Google News indexes 854 articles from Internet news sources
12:00am: Google News indexes 1022 articles from Internet news sources, all about the death

The way information behaves in the modern world is, I think, both scary and exciting. I'd be interested to compare the growth in articles for this story with the number of stories Google knows about next time something happens.
