omg 0:30 at the very top 100000 mph?!

[Death0Machine]

1080p version of this video could be really awesome!

[gerajmar]

Asombroso (Amazing)

[qST4Rp]

OMG LOOK AT THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE! THE AIRPLANE LIGHTS DISSAPEAR AND RE APPEAR ALMOST IN A PATTERN!?!?

[qST4Rp]

@snoowbooard: and dont forget at 0:45 from russia to canada at 10000 mph!

[pdmac46]

Think i'll feckin' swim where ever i go !

[aodflash]

@snoowbooard the earth is not flat.

[kalahiki808]

@snoowbooard haha, no. just that at the top, they didnt have to travel very far. and the world is "sliced" so it makes the destination look farther than it really is from the departing airfield

ovni

ufo

[sloftin76]

would make a great screen saver lol

[smacman68]

@snoowbooard Because it's time lapse, planes over the pole look as if they're moving faster. I had to think about it for a minute! LOL I was like "holy shit, he's right!". But the map is flat, and the earth is round (I think)

i didnt know europe stopped having traffic at midnight :3 btw im usually on one of those few flights that flies over greenland from lax to germany xP so that means im on a rare flight IM RARE AND YOU'RE NOT! >:D (okay fail...sorry...)

[Dozermmori]

@snoowbooard Its because of the rectangular map. The plane is just flying over the pole directly to it's destination, but because poles get stretched a lot to fit into the rectangular it only looks like the plane is moving really fast. This animation is also shown on Globe4D, on that at least you see it like it is ought to be seen, spherical :)

@liefswanson I don't have any experience in Antarctica flights, commercial aviation...yes. But I've been a bit interested in flights over the Antarctica, and follow up on any new developments from time to time. Besides that, research. Most flights over that region have always held a scientific interest with logistics provided by Navy, National Guard, Air Force etc. To simplify things, I'll send you a link.

[liefswanson]

@obiwan8926 interesting, i guess you have some experience with such things? it still totally baffles me that anyone would risk essentially flying blind like that.

[bob998ish]

@snoowbooard No, he crossed the north sea.

[obiwan8926]

@liefswanson They're ballsy cause most of them are military flights flown by Air Force crews

[zulok1337]

imagine these were nuclear missiles, scary thing is we have enough nuclear missiles for it to be a reality.

[anamcara22]

@wwwtotalitaerde Dude.... how can we help?

[liefswanson]

I didn't know they sent any air traffic at all over the south Atlantic as there is a hole in the magnetosphere there. (no magnetic field to protect from the suns radiation.) I was under the impression that it messed with navigation equipment as it's radioactive (as the north and south poles) and it has no magnetic field to guide compasses. However apparently roughly 10 flights a day are ballsy enough to do it O_o

[jambuckerwarblast]

how was the video data produced is it gps data from satalites?

[ZombieSlayer777]

ONE SUPERVIRUS AND WERE SCREWED

@tho0501

Why do plants grow faster with increased carbon dioxide levels?
