Cloud Hosting Shattering earthquakes, massive tidal waves and simultaneous volcanic eruptions will follow. Nuclear reactors will melt, buildings will crumble, and a cloud of volcanic dust will block out the sun for 40 years. Only the prepared will survive, Geryl said, and not even all of them.
These may sound like the ravings of a madman, or perhaps the head of a small apocalyptic sect. But Geryl is not the only one who believes in the apocalypse. Thousands of people worldwide seem to be preparing, in one way or another, for the end of days in 2012. Survival groups exist in Europe, Canada and the United States. A simple Google search for “2012″ and “the end of the world” brings up nearly 300,000 hits. And the video-sharing Web site YouTube hosts more than 65,000 clips informing and warning viewers about their fate in 2012.
And what was that blocking out in Fox News>

Chosen Answer:
personally i do think that something of significant historical impact will happen in the time around 2012. I think that there will likely be SOME sort of specific event that happens then, and likely relating to the astronomical phenomena(which is a known fact that will happen… not speculation) in some way.
but I don’t think its gonna be some sort of the worst case Y2K imaginings to the n’th power or any such nonsense. I think its much more likely to be subtle things.
I find people such as that, to be rather amusing and absurd. I mean why would nuclear power plants spontaneously melt down or things like that? I think against some of the things they think will happen, “the system” is more resillient than they think.
and I find little to suggest that things of the magnitude and breadth that they are so certain about, are even anything to expect.

I think their speaking of it because 2012 is getting nearer. Its like the Y2K thing…
because you guys need to wake up and get your snit together for it’s to late…you have 4 years to clean up your act
Because the bulk of humanity is superstitious, and likes to see patterns too.
Thousands of people prepared for 6/6/06 and millions prepared for 1/1/00. Both dates got massive coverage from the news media, and neither of them was the end of the world. I suspect this is the same thing, and those who believe that the world will end in 2012 have given me no reason to believe differently.
I’ve only got a few bucks, but I’ll buy their property and worldly goods when they head for the hills, or the caves.
This whole thing is utter nonsense.
well, i better start building a bomb shelter and start saving canned foods.
Crimmy,
Fox news talks about dumb things all the time….as do other ‘news’ sources….it is called ‘filler’. Yes, there are crazy people all around the world who are storing up their food and water for the end times. Does that make it true?? No….it just means that there are crazy people who, apparently, beat out a car chase for the filler story.
2012 is another year for the Olympics.
The news loves anything that is negative, it selling dog food & feminine hygeine products.
The Mians calender ends on that date.
Oh, wait a minute, most of the Mians and their way of life doesn’t excists anymore, guess they were wrong…
I haven’t heard a thing on Mainstream News about 2012, only here in Yahoo Answers.
Anecdotal evidence, aka word of mouth/say-so is not reliable at all.
For thousands of years various people have been ‘sure’ the world was going to end.
It’s crap!
Stop judging by fear.
haha that is what was said about Y2K!!!
That would stink though because I would be 21.
Wasn’t the world suppose to end numerous times before?
Haha, I love crazy people. they make my day.
