Welcome to June 12, 2015. Or at least that was the wildly-inaccurate version of 2015 predicted by ABC News exactly seven years ago.

Another clip featured this prediction for the current year: "Gas reached over $9 a gallon." (In reality, gas costs an average of <a href=" http://fuelgaugereport.aaa.com/">$2.75</a> ;.) </p>
