Iceland is at it again!

So they've stolen from us, invaded our airspace (with volcanic debris), and have potentially a large amount of natural resources....

Anyone see where this is going?

On a more serious note, my parents are supposed to be flying tomorrow and if they don't go then I'll have to make drastic changes to my weekend :surprised:

There is a big thread on PPRuNe about this, apparently the cloud is being sampled for density, composition, etc.
http://www.pprune.org/rumours-news/4...r-traffic.html

as to when will things be back to normal, nobody knows. The samples might come back OK, the winds couold shift, or airspace could be closed for days.

that would be bad news, I can't really miss this wedding.

You'll have to tell her she can't come round anymore? :(

It's only jet planes affected- get those DC7s and Super Constellations out of mothballs:).

Hopefully the damage to the UK economy will be a couple of billion quid- PWNT! GO ICELAND:rockon:

Actually I was supposed to be taking my parents car from the airport to hers, now I\'ll have to drive my POS car on my own fuel, which I can\'t really afford to do till I get paid next week. Ah well, could be worse, I\'ll still be getting some!

Bring on my VIVA and a real job!

Does this mean we don\'t have to worry about global warming anymore?

Volcano eruptions are our answer to the climate change.

planes will be grounded until tonight at 7pm according to bbc

A giant cloud of volcanic ash "looks nice"?

That "person" is just posting useless rubbish through threads on the forums.

Just announced it's until 1am tomorrow morning now...

did anybody see the Geordie lass stating her 'disgust' at the situation? It's her wedding/honeymoon and it's all ruined, thanks to a natural 'disaster'. Shame on you God, Shame :mad:

I was watching one of the Sky News feeds at work today and they where doing one of those Charlie Brooker favourite style lets shove a live camera everywhere because we've got no facts piece.

They had some VT of a group of girls up north who couldn't go away on their holiday because of this 'outrage'. All I could think was F*** english girls are ugly.
