| Countdown to disaster: Doomsday Clock now 2 minutes to midnight |
| 2018-01-26 |
 [RT] Everybody pays attention to them, of course, since they're so objective and accurate. We can all recall when they moved the clock to 2:17 p.m., and before that to 1:10. It's not like they're flaming hysterics trying to convince us that all of humanity is living between 11:55 and midnight. |

| #9 In October 1962 my dad's entire company in Detroit shut down for a week to allow everyone there to move selves & family "up north" & away from "Ground Zero", as we once thought of Detroit. I warned my little brother not to look up at any bright flashes in the sky. |

| #5 I remember 1978-ish, back when they had three premiers in a row because they kept dying of old age, and becoming convinced that a Nuclear Sunrise wasn't likely. It was a color photo if the Soviet Politburo with every member was an old, white haired guy and even the flunkies in the aisles had gray hair! "A room full of paranoid bureaucrat survivors are just not going to have the stones to 'Push The Button!' " or so I thought at the time.... |

| #4 I remember when SAC had aircraft on airborne rotation. These 'kids' weren't even kids when we were kids, but enough of us have lived through far far more dangerous times. |

| #2 Has there ever been a time when it wasn't a few minutes to midnight? Maybe they need to put some new batteries in that thing. |
