IT turns out CNN founder, Ted Turner, was a doomsday believer, creating a video to play on TV in the event of the world ending. It’s never been seen... until now.
Thirty-four years ago when Turner launched Cable News Network, he made a promise about his 24-hour news service.
“Barring satellite problems, we won’t be signing off until the world ends,” Turner announced at the time.
In anticipation for such an event, he prepared a final video for the apocalypse which the last CNN employee left standing would be required to play before perishing due to a zombie invasion, radiation poisoning, the plague, or whatever dramatic end eventuated.
Rather hilariously, the video is labelled “HFR (hold for release) until the end of the world is confirmed”.
Now, that video has leaked for the first time and we can all see Turner’s farewell to life as we know it.
The video is kept on CNN’s MIRA archive system, under the name TURNER DOOMSDAY VIDEO.
