One day of air traffic

By Daniel Smith on Nov 25, 09 12:00 PM

What does 24 hours of air traffic look like on a global scale?

ZÃŒrich University of Applied Sciences created this amazing video showing 93,000 flights, and 9,000 airports.

Each dot represents a single plane, with between 8,000 and 13,000 planes in the air at the same time. Make sure you watch in high quality and full screen.

Hmmm...I am afraid to think that time would come this gusty scenes would happen for real. Yeah, that's nearly possible if we humans will not do something to stop the usage of cars or other vehicles that uses gasoline or petroleum gases to move or transport. If that's the case our air will be covered fully by pollutions and that time we just pray for our survival. Holiday Inn Lake Buena vista

Daniel Smith - a long time ago, in a galaxy far away just north of Watford, Daniel fancied himself as a scientist but turned out to be the worst scientist since that bloke who mapped out all those canals on Mars that turned out to be scratches on his telescope's lens. Luckily, he is now not working on the Large Hadron Collider inadvertently creating a black hole that would swallow the world but is safely behind a desk writing this blog, bringing you the fantastical underbelly of nature... weird science.
