This video of every flight on earth shown in 72 seconds is quite possibly one of the coolest things you will see all day. If you’ve seen something cooler than that, let me know. ;)
 
That has got to be one of the coolest things I've seen this week. :)
 
need a higher def link but, hell yeah thats cool. like like how things drop after midnight and it looks to swell back up at about 4am. also, thats a lot of flights in europe!!:eek:
 
if only you could zoom in... it would be 50x cooler.. :
 
Just thought I'd mention my last post wasn't in reference to the post before, it wasn't there a sec ago. :)
 
That is a very cool visual. When it says "every flight on earth"... is that is a 24 hour period?

Well what he wouldn't see were all the military jets in a so-called "exercise" that took place where the airspace around NYC, a certain empty field in Pennsylvania, and of course the nation's capitol with the most secure airspace on the face of the planet... wonder why. Kinda hard to have a military exercise when all the participants are grounded at 7:55AM Eastern time for an exercise supposed to commence at 8:30AM Eastern time, ain't it? Weird how that works...

</tangent>

Cool video, but yeah, a high def version of this, perhaps even a true 3D respresentation you could zoom in on (ala DEFCON, one very cool game) and follow the tracks would really really kick ass.

As much as I hate to get off topic, what exactly are you trying to say here?
 
The US government couldn't give effectively hand out free cheese to the its citizens, you really think they could have planned AND executed 9/11?

Just me or is this guy a Troll? Every thread he's in he has to fight something he knows nothing about or just posts crazy shit like this. I think he needs hit with the banhammer
 
Initially I was a bit meh, cause it just showed a coupla dots moving. Then I saw how the patterns started changing with the moving of the light (corresponding to daytime) and I had to watch it a few times over to get a good feel of the patterns. Very interesting.
 
My mom is currently on one of those lights from South America to Europe. Home just in time for St Lucia Day as we like to celebrate over here.

Kind of interesting to see the zerg swarm Europe and then they all leave in different directions. Doesn't seem to be much traffic in northern Russia för whatever reason ^^
 
I would imagine it's a 72 hour period. That would make sense with the 72 seconds, and you can see the shift from day to night more than once.
 
Its funny how the flight patterns pretty much match the exact layout of the internet according to the site

you guys posted a couple weeks ago. All I could think when watching the video was data being sent back and forth lol.

And it took what, like 3 or 4 days to get water to the stadium in new orleans? Hehehe... Yea I just don't think our Government is smart enough :D

FedEx one was pretty cool. Assuming they've got their own airport, eh?
 
wow! that is very cool - thanks

is it possible to see in hi res? or even better- in a google maps type app.

Imagine to have that as a screensaver :) this could replace an aquarium as a virtual ant farm :)
 
The convergence of a mass of those flights into England is amazing to watch.
 
I like how beginning at around 0:30 people in Europe are all going, "Oh no escape the darkness!" and flee to the US. :p
 
"i know its fake because most planes arent even yellow"
LOL @ youtube comments.
