The Doomsday Clock, a symbolic metaphor that represents how likely it is that a human-made, worldwide disaster will kill us all. The closer it is to midnight, the closer we are to that actually happening. Members of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists have been revealing how close we are to global destruction going back all the way to 1947.

Today there are an estimated 12,500 nuclear warheads still in existence.

Now, the fear is that if one government were to ever use a nuclear weapon, the government of the country hit by one would retaliate. The next thing you know, it could spiral out of control. Nukes dropped everywhere and weā€™re all dead. This fear was THE FEAR that was everywhere during the Cold War.

The end of the Cold War in 1991 got rid of much of those fears of nuclear weapons. Unfortunately, though, the Doomsday Clock has been headed straight for midnight ever since. In recent years, the threat of nuclear war has returned, and it hasnā€™t been the ONLY thing the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists have been worried about. Theyā€™ve also said the lack of support for taking action in response to climate change has led to the Doomsday Clock being closer to midnight.

But the thing is, there were times in recent history in which the Doomsday Clock actually would have arguably beenā€¦likeā€¦at ONE SECOND to midnight. We just didnā€™t realize it until later on.

And thatā€™s what this videoā€™s about.
Here are three times the world almost ended.

One crazy thing to think about is that you may be watching this video right now or listeningā€¦I do realize many of you donā€™t like to look at my faceā€¦whatever. But yeah, you may be consuming this video right now and there might be a nuke about to be launched. Did you hear that? A nuke possibly just almost got launched! And we wonā€™t find out about this for a long time.
