Doomsday comes and goes, and radio station owner Harold Camping is MIA

Harold Camping The 89-year old founder of the Christian Family Radio touted that the apocalypse was to begin Saturday late-afternoon. As of Sunday night, there was no death and destruction, no doomsday, and apparently no Harold Camping. A number of media outlets are reporting that the offices of the California-based Family Radio, which broadcasts on over 60 radio stations, was closed over the weekend, and there was nobody home at the California home of Camping as the time of his scheduled apocalypse came and went. The Family Radio website on May 22 still contained the warning of the May 21 with the phrase, "The Bible Guarantees It." Newspapers around the nation on Sunday discussed the end of days that came and went, and also detailed the many who firmly believed the world would end, giving up their possessions and in some cases their life savings. This was the second time Camping predicted the end of the world. He made a similar prediction in 1994, but said afterward his calculations were off.
