A day in the life (in under a minute): Time-Lapse video reveals the startling amount of planes crossing the Atlantic each day - with 2,464 flights between US and Europe. A video has shown the 2,464 airplanes that crossed the North Atlantic Ocean - in a 40-second snapshot. The clip, produced by Flightradar24, begins at 8pm Eastern Time and shows a large number of planes leaving the US for Europe. At that time, air traffic in Europe slows down, with fewer flights departing the continent.
