End-of-world prediction interrupts TV broadcasts in Orange County

Some Orange County residents were stunned Thursday, Sept. 21, when television programming was suddenly interrupted for about a minute with an ominous message predicting the end of the world.

Stacy Laflamme of Lake Forest said she was watching the HGTV channel via Cox Communications about 11:05 a.m. when suddenly an emergency alert flashed across her screen followed by a voice.

“Realize this, extremely violent times will come,” a man’s voice boomed, according to a video of the alert.

...

The problem occurred because of one or more radio stations conducting an emergency test, Joe Camero, a spokesman for Cox, said Thursday.

Cable systems pick up such alerts, and viewers should have seen just a typical emergency-broadcast test.

...


We have confirmed that we were fed an incorrect audio file,” said Dennis Johnson, a spokesman for Spectrum.

Please read the article. This is very suspicious.

Whaaaaa? Whoa. Lol @ we were fed the wrong file.

a reply to: Tempter

Oops!!

Ya know, even if it was the wrong feed and just an accident, it still doesn't explain why they were dusting off the old "End of the World" clip and giving it a test run in the first place.

It really does imply that someone in charge somewhere thought it might be time to put that old baby on standby for a reason.

Of course when you look around you'd have to be a fool to not kinda understand that reason too. Whether you want to dwell on it or not is another thing.

LOL.. NO MAN KNOWS THE TIME OR DAY save God himself. Astrologers using bible verses..lol. Bible say sto not believe those people who use astrology. Nothings going to happen saturday.

investigating who sent out the alert and whether it was done accidentally or on purpose. It was unclear where the audio came from.

Why can't they just admit that some prankster got the best of them?

The part of the "wrong file" is interesting. They could have picked up any file in the world but somehow it ended up an emergency test with a doomsday prophecy audio file. So .. coincidence?

I think they just simply got hacked somehow.

NO ,no ,no.

The bible says "do not believe those people who use astrology" - where precisely?

Or was it another authority?

I've heard that the 'three wise men' were kings and astrologers? And wasn't christ's birth heralded by a star/comet - sounds remarkably like astrology to me.

haha

Wrong audio file? Okay, but in what scenario is the ominous message the right file, and why even have it recorded? Maybe somebody grabbed from the prerecorded WW3 bin...

I thought the end of the world wasn't scheduled until Saturday the 23rd?

Er, maybe that was just and end time sign..... Close enough for an alert I guess.

Agreed. It made me think of the Max Headroom tv hack. (Google it if unsure of my ref. Mobile makes inserting links a pain for me.)

The Bible is full of statements against astrology (diviners) . Recall the folks of the day did see the changing of the weather/seasons in the heavens . Those 2 are not relateed

The Star of Bethlehem wasnt a "sign" , it was a guide to Bethlehem

Chapter and verse please. I don't recall much in the bible about 'diviners' ... so your assistance is needed.

And just how (with referents please) are a sign and a guide different - it's semantics. It's a matter of 'reading the heavens' or the weather as you put it and that my friend is astrology or divination - the reading of signs - the following of signs.

And then what of the 'wise men'.

This in no way makes any reference to the Bible.

But recent events could easily compell people with a variety
of diffferent motives. From serious doomers to pranksters.

Lol, I'm imagining the final two minutes of a doomsday action movie where the hero is able to push that final button and send the warning over the airwaves. His body bleeding from so many bulletholes from the spooks guns so close in tow. Maybe it's a slow-cam 3d scene, why not?

It fades to black as our hero lies dying in his own pool of blood as our g-men stare stunned at the realization the message aired.

Fade in to news broadcast about event, with government standins sharing the approved version of the story.

He tried to WARN US!

I agree that people could be freaking out and with sheer numbers SOMEONE could've done something stupid.

Also, I didn't say anything about a Bible.

I have noticed a marked increase in natural disasters, or so it seems...

Maybe I should at least get some popcorn, just in case

Of course you didn't, I just wanted to get it out there hopefully
avoiding drift.
