This new cool 3D visualization shows all the airplanes that go through the five major air spaces over the North Atlantic during a 24 hour period. It’s like watching a modern version of the thermonuclear war simulations in War Games—without all the final explosions.

The video was created by NATS—a big provider of air traffic control services in the UK and globally—using the most recent real time data gathered by their computer systems.
