A resurfaced CNN clip featuringthe late Ted Turnerhas led some viewers to believe that a chilling prophecy may now be unfolding.
Following the passing of the 87 year old whofounded CNN, footage from his past was unearthed, with one clip immediately igniting questions amongst social media users. The so-called "Turner Doomsday Video," is a one-minute clip produced ahead of CNN's 1980 launch and was solely intended to be broadcast should civilisation collapse.
In the brief clip, Turner pledged that CNN would remain on air until the very end of the world. In the message, he said, "Barring satellite problems, we won't be signing off until the world ends.
"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," he continued.
The footage, which left numerous viewers deeply unsettled, was filmed outside CNN's original headquarters at the Turner Broadcasting Techwood campus in Atlanta.

It features musicians from the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine bands, standing in formation and dressed in full ceremonial uniforms.
The haunting clip contains no narration or explanation of what viewers are witnessing. As noted by Turner, the band performs the Christian hymn, Nearer, My God, to Thee, a piece widely associated with the final moments aboard the Titanic. The clip runs for just over a minute before fading to black, seemingly marking the end of the broadcast — and indeed, the end of the world.
Following Turner's allusion to the "end of the world" broadcast clip in 1980, many dismissed it as nothing more than a myth. Yet the footage remained tucked away in the CNN archive for years before it finally came to light.
