CNN’s ready for the apocalypse

When CNN went on the air, founder Ted Turner said: “Barring satellite problems, we won’t be signing off until the world ends.”

Apparently there’s an actual file in CNN’s video bank called “TURNER DOOMSDAY VIDEO.”

The video shows a band playing “Nearer,  My God to Thee.” Then the screen goes black and, apparently, we all die.
