    It is always advisable to have a plan ready for when the world is about to end. Ours include many unspeakable acts related to cavorting naked in the street.

    Luckily for the rest of you, CNN won’t be airing that. They will, however, have a final video segment prepared in anticipation of the apocalypse. This gem from Ted Turner, CNN’s founder, 34 years ago:

    We’ll be on, and we will cover the end of the world, live, and that will be our last event. We’ll play the National Anthem only one time, on the first of June [the day CNN launched], and when the end of the world comes, we’ll play ‘Nearer My God To Thee’ before we sign off.

    For years most thought he was kidding, until the existence of the video was discovered by a college student working for CNN who had a little snoop around their internal database.

    So when Ted Turner said that CNN was going to be playing “Nearer My God To Thee”—the song the band supposedly played when the Titanic went down—as the heavens opened up, as the fiery finger of God rained salt and brimstone from the sky, as the Earth beneath our feet opened from below and swallowed everything above, as the last CNN employee, in the last surviving CNN studio in the world, witnessed the end of existence before them, he meant it.

    And above, in all its grainy low-res glory, you can see the video that has been prepared for our final few moments as humanity.
