Real-time plane tracker

Real-time plane tracker
Just found this interesting as fuck and thought I'd share:

Quote:At any given moment there are about 5,000 commercial airplanes in the sky over the United States, shuttling people from home to work to grandkids who’ve long moved away. Now you can see them all, in real time, on a map.

The actual map in question:
http://www.flightradar24.com/


I don't think it's every single plane out there, but it's still a fair amount. Amazes me how you can actually see just how fast they move across the map. Well, relatively speaking.

Now if only the FBI knew about this website, we'd be able to find the flight mh370 that went missing!
