It's a color coded tracking of all the airline flights in the US over a 24 hour window. Awesome.

 

Yea my brother who is a pilot showed me this a year or so ago. Really amazing how the patterns draw the outline of North America.

 

Thanks for sharing.

 

 

Interesting how you can see the east coast wake up about half way through and then spread west. Cool vid.

 

now THAT is a LOT of pollution

 

That was amazing...what does each color stand for?

 

That was amazingly cool.

 

Some of those planes seem to be landing in open ocean? Take a look at 5:19 GMT, there is a distinct location NE of Hawaii and W of California where a bunch of planes are always converging. Is there some secret island there that I'm not aware of?
