How many planes do you think are in the sky at any given moment? This video, taken from a satellite, shows air traffic across the globe over a 24-hour period that's been condensed down to 1:12. From space, it looks like a beehive of activity that flows from continent to continent, day to night.

It's not just you - that is scary!

No scary to me..........remember, it's over a 24 hour period. Considering how many are out there and how many air traffic accidents occur, I think we're safer in a plane than on the highway!!!

yeah but when you are on the highway and the engine quits, you can pull over to the breakdown lane!!

Imagine the job that the ATC have of keeping that traffic from running into each other.
