@socal_explorer: The U.S. Air Force E-4B Nightwatch, known as the “Doomsday Plane,” was spotted landing at LAX Thursday evening and departed Friday. The airborne command post designed to keep the U.S. government operational during a nuclear emergency was reportedly carrying Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth onboard, sparking widespread online speculation. 🎥 - @kelvinkccheng
