  • Looks Like a colony of ants getting exterminated. :P

  • The lack of jet contrails changed the high and low temperatures by 2 degrees on 9-11.

  • @PhantomDrums917 the one that zooms away from north carolina at 0:16

  • interesting enough - at 0:17 sec. there is a jet leaving oceana - most probably (at about the hight of RDU) with an east-bound-heading MUCH faster than the other dots (mach1 or maybe even mach 2). why is it going there? why so fast? why is the icon off at a certain position but other aircrafts at this point are still visible?

  • Which dot is the one that George Bush used to evacuate Osama Bin Laden's family and wisk them out of the country before the CIA could interview/interrogate them?

  • neat trick

  • where to get that radar

  • thank you "airboyd" for the large video technical resource. some of us work as volunteers, some to death, while some people get paid to do nothing or worse. that world defense system is to protect all people, not special local cadres or wealthy commercial groups. i have plans for generic world internet service, and for compensation and correction for huge mass crimes against the public. i hope violence will not be necessary. - james mcashan for the US Senate

  • look to top right.. it's the hijacked plane!

  • @zippyman818 As a result of Operation Yellow Ribbon, the first time that Canada shut down its airspace, 255 aircraft were diverted to 17 different airports across Canada.

  • @aescobar32 Gander International Airport in Newfoundland, Canada played host to 38 airliners, totalling 6,122 passengers and 473 crew, as part of Operation Yellow Ribbon.

  • @drewren1231 - That day was exceptionally clear. I still remember the colour of the sky, how perfectly blue it was. A rare day with not a trace of haze. Typically on days like that you don't see contrails. Having said that, do contrails trap heat like a greenhouse effect, or do they block warming from the sun? I don't know.
