Airsickness is not exactly a common occurrence at sea-level — its got the word "air" in it for a reason. But if you've been looking to put those complimentary motion sickness baggies you lifted from seat 12C to good use (and you've got a mythically queasy stomach) take a gander at this crazy aviation video, shot by a Delta pilot on final approach into Atlanta's Hartsfield–Jackson International Airport.

Sped up for your sanity's sake, the video turns what was probably an uneventful flight into an absolute roller-coaster ride. There are sharp turns, steep drops and sudden stops. Even a minor flight path adjustment looks massive when presented at hyper-speed. The Boeing 737 can't fly nearly this fast — you need to get beyond the atmosphere to go even close to this speed. Even so, it'll give you a cool view of the landing from the cockpit.
