There was a great sci-fi movie in the late 50's called "On the Beach"
which told the story of a submarine crew that survived a worldwide nuclear
holocaust because they were out in the ocean under water. While waiting for
the "end" to come to an end, they constantly monitored radio broadcasts from
around the world but more and more stations kept dropping off the air as
most of the earth became silent.

Never say never.
Nothing is absolute.
