Volcanos are supposed to trhow components that helps cooling the earth, so if nobody was killed this can be good.

Day Two, and still no "Hitler Finds Out His Flight Was Cancelled" video?

I am disappoint.

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!

That's sure to wake up the anti US "Since when did they ever ask for permission" brigade

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

There are worse places to be stuck. The real problem is housing all of them, and the cost. Also, the return flights. At the very least I'd expect the parents to want one adult in each group of kids heading home, but given the mess it might be hard to find 5-10 seats per flight.

That's a real bummer.....but take some comfort from the fact they are all safe

Check out the radar picture taken of the Eyjafjallajökull craters on April 15. Kind of spooky looking.

A small-sized plane managed to get from NYC to Kiruna (Northern Sweden). In 7 hours. Might be followed by more flights. But Kiruna hasn't the biggest airport around so...

And, apparently, the loss of money for the airlines are humongous! British Airways lose about one million quid by the hour!

I heard the Finnish Air Force sent an F-18 into the cloud and buggered its engines up, so it's still about in places. I think the problem at the moment is that the damaging stuff is only in patchy places inside the cloud but there's no way of telling where in the cloud those patches are, and where they'll be tomorrow.
