    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.

    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!!!

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