No one said the massive overhaul of Los Angeles International Airport's Tom Bradley terminal would be quick, but thanks to this nifty time lapse video, you can see over three years' worth of its construction in less than four minutes. That's so fast you could watch it several times over just waiting in line for your TSA manhandling!
EarthCam's camera caught the work from April 2010 through May 2013 using high definition megapixel imagery. The final result was hand-edited to show the whole project start to finish.
Once inside the terminal, be sure to enjoy the "romance and magic" brought to life courtesy an innovative art installation. While a few new gates and upgrades were revealed back in March, the new Tom Bradley International Terminal makes its official debut Thursday, September 18.
