Reports have surfaced that the U.S. Air Force’s “doomsday plane” was spotted running a brief training mission at the end of February. The mission ran for four hours and took place following Russian President Vladimir Putin’s announcement that Russia’s nuclear forces were on high alert. The “doomsday plane” is a modified Boeing 747 built to withstand a nuclear war.

The end is near.

This was filed under the "Entertainment" section of Yahoo? Someone's definition of that word differs from mine, it seems. LOL.

Of course, this plane probably has flown many other training missions at various times in the past that have not been newsworthy because there was no war going on, and therefore it wouldn't have really caused panicked speculation.
