Doomsday by the Flight Path: A DIY Apocalypse Indicator Using Private Jets

Gizmodo reports on Apocalypse Early Warning, a tongue‑in‑cheek project that uses public ADS-B flight data and FAA jet registrations to flag when air-traffic is unusually high, measuring deviations from a baseline and calling a five-sigma alert a likely imminent apocalypse. It’s presented as a playful critique of doomsday forecasting rather than a serious predictive tool, even hinting at betting on the end of the world.
