#  Tag: Sweep Line
#  Time: O(NlogN)
#  Space: O(N)
#  Ref: -
#  Note: -

#  Given an list `interval`,  which are taking off and landing time of the flight.
#  How many airplanes are there at most at the same time in the sky?
#  
#  **Example 1:**
#  
#  ```
#  Input: [(1, 10), (2, 3), (5, 8), (4, 7)]
#  Output: 3
#  Explanation:
#  The first airplane takes off at 1 and lands at 10.
#  The second ariplane takes off at 2 and lands at 3.
#  The third ariplane takes off at 5 and lands at 8.
#  The forth ariplane takes off at 4 and lands at 7.
#  During 5 to 6, there are three airplanes in the sky.
#  ```
#  
#  **Example 2:**
#  
#  ```
#  Input: [(1, 2), (2, 3), (3, 4)]
#  Output: 1
#  Explanation: Landing happen before taking off.
#  ```
#  
#  If landing and taking off of different planes happen at the same time, we consider landing should happen at first.
