In 1996, Cassidy died of skin cancer. Her incredible voice never reached outside of her hometown. That could have been the end. But four years later, Cassidy was played on BBC Radio. And the U.K. audience fell in love.

A video of Cassidy singing Over the Rainbow was found. It was played on one of the BBC’s TV stations. Her fame started growing steadily. As of 2008, Cassidy has three #1 releases in the United Kingdom. And her music has topped charts all over Europe. She may be gone, but her amazing talent lives on.

Air Traffic Worldwide

This YouTube video is all about flight. Millions of people travel by air every day. You are not alone in the sky.

Our skies are pretty crowded. Nearly 100,000 planes fill the sky every day. Seeing it is impressive.

This simulation shows air traffic worldwide over a 24-hour period. Seeing where and when people fly is amazing. Note the many traffic patterns. You may want to watch it several times. It’s a view of the world I’ve never seen before.
