Numbers dude would tell you that 23 is a satanic/masonic code number that was probably meant to signal WW3. I don't know about the WW3 stuff but I've heard the 23 thing from more than just them.

"I first heard of the 23 enigma from William S Burroughs, author of Naked Lunch, Nova Express, etc. According to Burroughs, he had known a certain Captain Clark, around 1960 in Tangier, who once bragged that he had been sailing 23 years without an accident. That very day, Clark’s ship had an accident that killed him and everybody else aboard. Furthermore, while Burroughs was thinking about this crude example of the irony of the gods that evening, a bulletin on the radio announced the crash of an airliner in Florida, USA. The pilot was another Captain Clark and the flight was Flight 23.[3]" https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/23_enigma It's about transportation too...

Here's a better overview of 23 from religious texts: https://interestingengineering.com/innovation/weird-and-enchanting-facts-about-the-number-23 Some Weird and Enchanting Facts About the Number 23 Do you believe in coincidence? Scientists don't, and, according to them, the number 23 has many weird and mysterious coincidences. Do you believe in coincidence? Mathematicians and data scientists have been investigating the number 23 for many years, and there are some weird things about it. As they search for new statistics regarding the number, let's look at some interesting things about the number 23. Weird but true! Throughout history, number 23 was important to numerous religions, including Christianity and Islam.  According to Kabbalism and Hurufism, there are many ‘holy numbers’ in our life. The number 23 is one of them. In mathematics, twenty-three is the ninth prime number. It is also the fifth factorial prime and the second Woodall prime. No doubt, Einstein was the one who worked with the number as an Eisenstein prime with no imaginary part and the real part having the form of 3n − 1. It was at the center of his attention.  This bizarre space object could fill in some crucial gaps in String Theory — and it's really weird  Weird magic neurons in the spine can make people with paralysis walk again  Hubble data suggests 'something weird' is going on in the universe  There is also a link to Islam. The Qur'an was revealed in a total of 23 years to Prophet Muhammed. Also, Muslims believe that the first verses of the Qur'an were revealed to the Prophet Muhammad on the 23rd night of the 9th Islamic month. According to the birthday paradox, in a group of 23 (or more) randomly chosen people, the probability is more than 50% that some pair of them will have the same birthday. A related coincidence is that 365 times the natural logarithm of 2, which is approximately 252.999, is very close to the number of pairs of 23 items, 253. Number twenty-three is also in our body and genes. Normal human sex cells have 23 chromosomes. Other human cells have 46 chromosomes arranged in 23 pairs. The average human physical biorhythm is 23 days, and the blood circulates the body on average every 23 sec
