Planes Avoiding Thunderstorms



Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport is the world’s busiest airport. With so many planes coming in, they can’t just shut things down when storms arrive. Here we have a time-compressed video of a radar image, showing storms passing over the airport and the planes as they are directed in by air traffic controllers. Some do have to circle while the weather passes, but most are sent in around the storms in an amazing aerial ballet. (via Viral Viral Videos)
