Good news for Rapture lovers! The world is going to end after all – only it's going to take a little longer than predicted.
Harold Camping, architect of Saturday's dramatic events in which Judgment Day came and went without so much as an earthquake, has revealed what went wrong. He took to his show on his network Family Radio to reveal the simple truth: the Apocalypse was imminent, he'd just got it out by five months. So now the world is going to end – really and truly this time – on 21 October.
Camping was disarmingly honest about the impact the world's inconvenient continuance was having on him, after he predicted 200 million Christians would rise to heaven by 6pm on Saturday followed by the destruction of the Earth in a massive fireball. » | Ed Pilkington in New York | Tuesday, May 24, 2011
