There is the potential for a horrifying global incident that could kill humanity faster than even World War 3 could.
While concerns of a possible World War 3 have been growing due to global tensions, there is another threat that could end up being more deadly.
And one YouTube channel has lifted the lid on the incident that could ‘spell the end for humanity’.

Uploaded to The Infographics Show, the video details what could happen in the future, writing in the video description: “Forget WW3! A global power outage would spell THE END for humanity in a matter of minutes!
“Find out how bad things would really get in today's insane new video that reveals what would happen minute by minute if all the power went out across Earth!”
Within a minute of the power outage, planes in the sky would be impacted, with communication and navigation being ‘knocked out’, with even the most advanced pilots ‘flying blind’.
The video explained: “With so many planes in the air at the same time, collisions and other accidents are inevitable - and that’s not even considering smaller planes without the same level of protection.
“And as people step outside from their darkened houses, they’ll no doubt see dozens of planes big and small falling from the sky.”
The video continued: “Across the world, people start to realize that nothing is turning on. The house is dark, of course, but this isn’t just a standard downed power line.
“While most independent devices like cell phones are still on - assuming they’re charged - there’s likely to be no cell phone service as the towers have been disrupted.”
The power outage will be life-threatening for people in hospital and panic will start to spread.
The video went on to say: “If there’s one thing humans do well when faced with a disaster, it's to blame others.
“A disaster like this will send paranoia sky high, and while scientists will know by now that this is a natural event, they have no way of communicating this to the masses with TVs and the internet down.
“But even if they could…would it work? The odds are in the United States, the Democrats and Republicans would each find someone to blame. This wouldn’t have happened if billionaires were taxed! But if there’s one thing for certain, people would be at each other’s throats.”
Viewers took to the YouTube comment section to share their reactions, with one user writing: “Most people are so used to having power that they don’t even realize how much of their life is intertwined with it. My family (and many others) lost power for about a week years ago from a hurricane, and it’s insane how many things disappear instantly when it’s gone.
“Septics and running water, cooking, heat, hot water, refrigerated food, communication and information, even just having light at night.”
Another said: “I live in northern Canada. If you’re not prepared for a power outage there’s a good chance you’ll die if it goes out in the winter.”
And a third person joked: “My company would find a way and still call me into work.”
