"Test of emergency alert system capabilities. This test message has been initiated by national alert and warning authorities and coordination with emergency alert system participants including broadcast, cable, satellite, and wire wide participants in your area. Had this been an actual emergency, the attention signal you just heard would have been followed by emergency information, news, or instruction. This is only a test. We now return you to regular programming"

You remember hearing this when you were younger while watching cartoons. It was your first introduction to the idea of actual global threats.
