Key Points:
- Los Angeles artist and coder Kyle McDonald has developed an Apocalypse Early Warning System that tracks private jets globally to detect potential signs of a nuclear apocalypse.
- The system is based on the theory that wealthy oligarchs might have advance knowledge of catastrophic events and use private jets to escape to bunkers or remote locations.
- A sudden mass exodus of private jets from major city centers could serve as an early warning indicator for the general public.
- McDonald's project leverages real-time tracking data to monitor the movements of affluent individuals potentially preparing for a global crisis.
