War against volcanooooes! Yaaargh!

Yes these Volcanoes are cleary weapons of mass destruction! Iceland has stockpiled over 40 Volcanoes. The US must now ask the UN Security Counsel for a resolution allowing the use of force to disarm this rogue nation!

I'm sure some airline security firms are making lucrative deals selling "anti-volcano"-spray coating to airlines to be used in situations just like this one.

Latest UK position:

Flights above Scotland and Northern Ireland have resumed but fears over drifting volcanic ash mean restrictions remain in English and Welsh airspace.
Air traffic control body Nats said it would review the situation at 2030 BST but there would be no flights over England and Wales before 0700 BST.

A friend of my dad's in in Florence with his family—helping chaperone 100 high school kids.

100 kids, and maybe 10-20 chaperones trapped.

That's bad news....but sadly, probably replicated across Europe
