Look Inside America's Apocalypse Plane That Would Take Charge During Nuclear War
« on: September 26, 2017, 09:40:52 am »
By Kyle Mizokami


A new YouTube video provides a rare look inside one of America's "Nightwatch" planes. The E-4B is a converted 747-200 operated by the U.S. Air Force, and one of these aircraft is aloft and ready to take charge of a nuclear crisis at all times. The video, taken at Travis Air Force Base in California, shows off the flying home of the men and women who would issue control America's nuclear forces, as well as the workstations from which they would coordinate nuclear strikes.

These planes are safe. They are EMP hardened. The plane is in constant contact with all American Forces around the world. He would be able to launch a nuclear attack from this plane.
