Nice to know my pilot could be sleeping while I'm on my way to my destination.

Good job he missed it

im tired of saying it our depth perception is flawed, this proves it

i know pretty much for sure since i have had real depth perception as in a 3d movie several times in my life , BUT JUST FOR SECONDS

im pretty sure by gnut that if am able to keep that perception beyond a minute ill go 4 dimesnional and achieve enlightenment

animals dont have that depth perception that seems to be a next stage in evolution i can tell casue otherwise zebra camouflage would be useless since its design so lions cant tell where starts one and ends the other

is there any test for pilots for depth perception?

obviously this pilot had none

Just having 2 eyes that work mean you have depth perception, it's the reason we have 2 eyes.

eh? I hope you don't mean that animals do not have depth perception... of course they do, or your lion would not be able to pounce on their dinner. All two -eyed critters have depth perception.
What animals don't have is an understanding of differentiation of textures... they see the grass the tree shrubs and their dinner hiding motionless out in the open as all the same, they see the fur ruffling in the breeze but don't recognise/ distinguish that as being "different" from the rustling of the surrounding grass or leaves.
They do, however, understand movement (and if it moves, pounce on it).
Haven't you ever wondered why a critter will take to hiding motionless face in in a bush, leaving their bum exposed and the predator just walks on by?

No. Zebra pattern is evolved because black and white stripes attract far fewer biting flies. Nothing to do with large cats, who can obviously tell the head from the tail.

ah ... i wondered why the birds around here keep flying into trees and knocking themselves out.

what a stupid video, how can you have a 2-D world, anything with mass / boundries / enclosure, must have 3 dimensions even if the 3rd dimension is only 1 atom high.

Stupid pilot didn't check his radar or TCAS ??
