Doomsday Predictor Harold Camping Plans to Watch the Apocalypse Unfold on TV

Christian broadcaster Harold Camping sparked worldwide controversy when he predicted that the Christian Rapture (a.k.a. Doomsday) will happen tomorrow, May 21, sparking off a chain of events that will lead to total global destruction a few months later, on Oct. 21.

While many skeptics are planning to mark the day by partying like there's no tomorrow, Reuters reports that the Family Radio President plans to watch the apocalypse unfold on TV.

Camping said that he's sure events will be sparked by a massive earthquake on May 21 -- "We know without any shadow of a doubt it is going to happen," he said.

Camping added that, "I'll probably try to be very near a TV or a radio ... I'll be interested in what's happening on the other side of the world as this begins."

We're not sure which channel he'll be tuning into, but Camping has been wrong once before. He previously predicted that the world would end in 1994, an error he blames on a mathematical miscalculation. He arrived at his current doomsday date based on his reading of 'The Bible' and a timeline dating back to ancient events including the Biblical flood survived by Noah.

Although setting an exact time and date for the apocalypse puts Camping outside the Christian mainstream, he has many supporters. His Family Radio has 66 U.S. stations and broadcasts in more than 30 languages through international affiliates. Camping's supporters have posted about 2,200 billboards around the U.S. about the coming apocalypse, and dozens of followers have driven across the country to spread the news.
