Forbes: Shocking Doomsday Maps of the World and the Billionaire Escape Plans

Conjure up enough doomsday scenarios and you should be able to ruin your ability to sleep for weeks. We live in a world of uncertainty. Perhaps in some aspects that’s essential. For example, if everyone knew the day and time of his or her death, behavior would change so radically that one is drawn to consider whether society could even function. In fact, it could be argued that it will always be impossible to know such information, as its knowledge would mean people would have the opportunity to change a certainty — an obvious absurdity.

At least most of us can do nothing.
