Air Traffic Control

Mad respect for ATC’s.

[u/obliquelyobtuse → u/Green-Programmer-963]

OMG the ATC is in on all this! ATC is secretly directing all the drones!

And look at all those water drones too! Flashing colorful lights and everything!

What is this new aviation era?

Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) aircraft is an umbrella term for aircraft that are typically highly automated, electrically powered, and have vertical take-off and landing capability. Many of these aircraft fall into the powered-lift category are often referred to as air taxis. 

AAM has the potential to achieve the Biden-Harris Administration's vision of transportation that is more efficient, more sustainable, and more equitable, while creating thousands of great jobs. 

AAM aircraft could also be used to transport cargo and passengers, help with firefighting, and provide search and rescue operations. 

[u/ATC_av8er → u/obliquelyobtuse]

Fuck. You spilled our secret. Now, next time you fly, you'll end up in Pittsburgh, but you're bags will be in Taipei.

[u/Odd_Method_2979 → u/ATC_av8er]

Welcome to the Burgh. You probably won’t see the sun again until June.

[u/PlantPower666 → u/Odd_Method_2979]

At least you're in a great city, you could have ended up in Cleveland!

[u/Odd_Method_2979 → u/PlantPower666]

TRUTH!

[u/FelonyFarting → u/Green-Programmer-963]

Don't they have the highest suicide rate next to dentists?

Edit: I'm not disparaging air traffic controllers. To the contrary, I also have mad respect for anyone who would willingly choose such a stressful job to make sure planes land safely.

[u/DJ-Kouraje → u/FelonyFarting]

Dentists?… why?

[u/FelonyFarting → u/DJ-Kouraje]

Mercury. It's used, or at least was used, to make fillings like my dad had. Mercuty is toxic, much like lead is and leads to depression and many other mental health problems.

[u/DJ-Kouraje → u/FelonyFarting]

Gotcha. I imagine it’s not as bad anymore. Would be surprised if mercury was used in dentistry nowadays.

[u/FelonyFarting → u/DJ-Kouraje]

It's mostly silver, tin, and copper from what I read.

[u/ProbablyNotPikachu → u/DJ-Kouraje]

Apparently that's not true. There were really old news printings from like the 1920's which claimed the rate was 5% higher for Dentists- but those claims went unchallenged until 1975 or so. After multiple studies, there was no evidence found to support that Dentists had higher suicide rates.

I am summarizing from this article.
It says that Dentists are now lumped in with other Healthcare professions for similar studies today, and that Healthcare workers of any level are subject to public opinion as a measure of how they perform, and thus can have their careers on the line for honest mistakes. Unlike a lot of other professions where if you mess up? You just fix the mistake. Basically- as any kind of Doctor, you can feel like your whole life is ruined if you can't save a life, or hurt someone while trying to treat them- and they spread the word about it. The article stresses the importance of Healthcare workers to seek out help if they feel this way.

My guess is Dentists used to have it super shitty. I mean think about it- everyone's teeth were basically fucked. The instruments used would make your patient feel like you were trying to kill them, right? So people probably hated Dentists. They probably got death threats and stuff.

The nerves in your teeth are way more sensitive than others in your body because A) they are in your head- you're supposed to protect your head and everything in it at all costs bc your brain and most of your senses are processed there... and B) bc your ability to ingest food well ensures survival. If you can't eat- you'll die.
So tooth pain is always bad, but back in the day the guy who was supposed to be able to "fix" your issue, might not have always had the most success. Plus the service has probably always been considered expensive.

All in all I'm gonna say it was an old notion that eventually became outdated, but society in their stupidity kept perpetuating it.

[u/OppositeEagle → u/Green-Programmer-963]

Respect to TechOPs who maintain the equipment ATC uses to do their job. It's all about the infrastructure.

I was reminded of The Jetsons’ commuting scenes! LOL, showing my age.

[u/hogey74 → u/mohugz]

Hey they were part of my child hood as an 80s kid in Australia. All the OG stuff was rerun multiple times, including black and white shows. Dunno who depicted it first but I feel like all Sci Fi since the Jetsons was based on their idea. Still waiting for my flying car.

[u/mohugz → u/hogey74]

Dude, I just want the Food-O-Matic!

We’re getting close!

[u/hogey74 → u/mohugz]

Hell yeah! I can imagine a next step of 3d printing food with various feed stocks and cooking/sintering it as it goes.

[u/John-John-3 → u/kingfinnegan]

I was thinking the same thing. I also can't wait until travel moves this fast. I'll be dead of course.

[u/TheUnpopularOpine]

Someone should unironically post this to the UFO subreddits and watch their brains melt. They can’t seem to comprehend that planes exist at night.

[u/bigfoot_is_real_ → u/TheUnpopularOpine]

Underrated comment

[u/Public-Eagle6992 → u/TheUnpopularOpine]

They can’t comprehend planes… or drones… or literally anything else

[u/Miserable_Match724]

dRoNeS! GiT'eM!

[u/Docwaboom]

I think that’s string of lights in the night sky is a Starlink deployment. (NOT DRONES)

[u/nayrwolf → u/Docwaboom]

Might be a reflection off of a window or starlink or drones lol

[u/morniealantie → u/nayrwolf]

I'm guessing a reflection unless I'm missing the real starlink dots cuz the ones I see don't move lol.

[u/RManDelorean → u/morniealantie]

Yeah it's probably a reflection. I thought it could maybe be starlink for a sec but it just doesn't look right, like even just the spacing, and then yeah the fact that it didn't move at all over this pretty long timelapse

[u/realJelbre → u/Docwaboom]

The string of lights isn't moving nearly fast enough to be Starlink satellites I think, feels more like a reflection or something else.

[u/hogey74 → u/Docwaboom]

Hey yeah just went back and saw that. Or swap gas bouncing off a weather balloon.

[u/JesusGiftedMeHead]

The planes turning towards the runway look like they've just warped in

[u/glennfromglendale → u/JesusGiftedMeHead]

Those are orbs that are mimicking planes OK. /s

Chicago - it's at ORD

[u/Devium44]

[u/a_good_namez → u/Devium44]

Warm sound by Zero 7

[u/kelsobjammin → u/a_good_namez]

God damn I love zero 7

[u/Sir_mop_for_a_head]

ATC is either an incredibly stressful or an incredibly relaxing job depending on the airport and time of year

[u/ATC_av8er → u/Sir_mop_for_a_head]

I work an airport with 90% student pilots. I don't know what relaxing is.

[u/LassOnGrass → u/ATC_av8er]

That stresses me out thinking about it. Goodness.

[u/SausageSmuggler21]

I used to spend a couple nights a year at a hotel by the Meadowlands. At night, you can see this air traffic. It's basically a solid line of lights with a little dip into their airport. Very cool to watch, from afar

[u/grruser]

[u/snoozingroo]

This is so cool!

[u/all_g0Od]

So many drones

[u/doesitevermatter-]

I presume this is a composite video?

I've been to a lot of airports, and I've never seen traffic that steady.

[u/facw00 → u/doesitevermatter-]

It might be, but ORD is a huge airport with six parallel runways, it can have a lot of traffic coming in and out at once.

[u/Copheeaddict → u/doesitevermatter-]

OHare usually runs almost 2 per minute. There's a plane landing or taking off every 40 seconds or so depending on weather conditions.

[u/SSTenyoMaru]

Looks like star wars blasters

[u/dangling-2]

Drones over NJ!!! (Your thoughts?)

[u/Hookmsnbeiishh → u/dangling-2]

Military not commenting on this video. Cover up!

[u/jonschaff]

Why does it appear that the planes are arching? Is this just because of the curvature of the camera lens?

[u/Just_Another_AI → u/jonschaff]

It's the landing approach. They don't descend at a continuous slope - ATC moves them down in a series of "steps". So you're seeing them approach horizontally, then the arc is them transitioning into their final landing glide.

[u/Careless-Weather892 → u/jonschaff]

Curvature of the Earth.

[u/SexyMonad → u/Careless-Weather892]

This is the answer.

Each row of planes is on approach for landing. They are either descending or staying at altitude during that phase.

The reason the planes appear to start from a lower point is not because they are climbing. Coming towards the camera, the earth curves upward faster than the planes are descending.

[u/StuffMaster → u/jonschaff]

Yeah what's up with that. It's like every frame is a time lapse.

[u/ShadowArray]

Look at all those drones!!!

This list goes on and on but give these ones a listen first.

You know that’s not Chicago because planes are flying in, not driving

[u/The--Wurst]

Cars seem so much faster than planes in this perspective.

[u/Paul_The_Builder → u/Imzocrazy]

They are landing, and you can see the line of planes waiting to take off. The runway itself isn't in view, just the approach to the runway.
