The doomsday plane can reportedly withstand a nuclear bomb, asteroid blasts and terror attacks while staying airborne for days without refueling.

Yeah, right.

Then he immediately talks about aerial refueling...

As to the nuclear bomb & asteroid blast..... (eye roll)

What sort of a thing could do all that?

that was probably bad story editing.

being hardened to radiation, it can withstand a blast from a nuclear bomb, but depending on the size of the bomb, the shock wave, and the atmospheric winds outwards AND backwards, it has to be a certain distance away in order not to be knocked out of the sky.

i think they did a really crap editing job on that point.
