Seriously doubt it. Bad shit has happened all over the world since about 4.5 billion years ago. Unfortunately, as sad and tragic as it is, that's life and we all just have to deal with it.
If you know anything about Jehova's Witnesses, they say that the end of days is coming any moment now (have been saying that for close to 50 years now) and they cite that in the last 100 years or so, a lot more shit is going down is the big reveal. In counter to that, it just seems that way because we now hear about it more with modern technology. Over 200 years ago if the Japan disaster happened, do you think that we in west would know about it? I don't.
In regards to the Mayans, their maths only allowed for their calendar to go up to 2012 so their priests(?) invented an armageddon story (just like every other civilisation did) to allow for the maths discrepancy. The only difference is that their Judgement day had a date on it. What do you think would have happened if Revelations was all about April 24th 2011? Most people would laugh and dismiss it. It's only cool because it is Mayan and therefore a little bit romantic and mystical.
And breathe!
