No idea... I just have to make an objection to the comment above mine about 9-11 not having enough room to park the planes... thats not true... the fact is that all the airplanes in the east were headed west but were foreced to land in the east again, this was with the DC and NYC airspace closed... because of this they were sent to smaller airports that werent designed to have more than one large jet on the ground there at any one time... but they made due... now, if they ever would do it, which they wont, but if they plan ahead and say that on this day all airspace will be closed and all planes are grounded, assigning parking spaces to everyone, throughout the country, there would be more than enough room to go around... the fact was that the first wave of planes off the East coast, departing 7:00AM EST, was no farther west than say Iowa or Minnesota, therefore, the entire west coast was not used in the grounding effort...

in some inner citie half the town are off their faces flying somewhere.
In planes, not sure, but the biggest problem with 9/11 was there was not enough slots at airports to park all of the worlds planes up.
they work on the theory that there will always be x number of aircraft flying, so they dont build more stands at airports than they need.
EXTRA - To the below, I am from the UK and was referring to Global planes, using 9/11 as an example. Heathrow jammed up because planes were not leaving for the US, preventing other planes (say from far east or africa) landing because stands were taken up. This has happened since then at Xmas 07 due to fog and in January 07 due to high cross winds, both times at Heathrow. It also affected other southern UK airheads.I work in the aircraft industry here so i know.

I've heard estimates that at any given time in the world approx 1,000,000 people are in the air. Seems like a lot, but that's only 1.5/100th of 1% of the worlds population. If you check out
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World%27s_busiest_airports_by_passenger_traffic
(hope that link works) you'll see the busiest airports by passenger movement. Atlanta had like 85,000,000 people go into it last year, that's just ONE airport and that's 232,876 people per day... every day.

i'd call it a safe bet to guess there's at least about 15,000 people worldwide flying at this very moment
