I guess LBJ jinxed Nixon (1 Viewer)

LBJ was the only US president to take the oath of office on a plane, after JFKs assassination. The next president was Richard Nixon, who ended up resigning while on a plane. Coincidence? I think not

What i wonder is "Nightwatch" used to be one of the preferred safe places for executive control.. Supposedly it is still extra survivable...

In an era of drones and hyper sonics i wonder if deep isn't better. Ofc the problem is in a real f up ya have 6 min to get some where and make decisions.

There have been bunkers made for heads of government in emergencies like that, I can think of one in Russia and one in Canada immediately. But I think in the modern day underground isn’t that safe either with the tech we have, and underground structures take a long time to build and aren’t movable at all. That’s probably one of the reasons air can be the preferred safe spot.
