Volcanic ash

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Meh. Just wait until the supervolcano under Yellowstone goes pop.

:lol: sorry. well loads of airports are shut. hope no-one is needing to travel in the next few days... we're closed, parts of germany, ireland i think and it's because aircrafts aren't built to handle it! i'm sure it's not healthy to inhale either though.

I wouldn't worry about inhaling it, the ash is at the sorts of altitudes planes fly at, several km up. Here's a bbc article about the damage the ash can do to a jet engine. Nasty!

Thanks Mark, but what goes up must come down somehow. And if it can damage planes like that what could it do if we had to?

@ Pat ~ depends if you are lazy or not and how dirty the car actually is.

Yeah, I got caught with a cancelled flight this morn. It was a bit weird, nobody seemed to have a clue what was going on. No point in being annoyed though, you can't really argue with a volcano can you? :urff:

It was a bit surprising that Ryanair cancelled though, I would have expected their attitude would be more on the lines of "take their money, put them in the air, and sure the pilot can fly around the falling magma". :lol:

On the bright side-- the U.K. and Europe may have some really spectacular sunsets for a while.

:lol: No you can't argue with a volcano unless you can handle the steam! Shame though, all flights were cancelled at Schiphol but we are decent enough to put beds out for those passengers that couldn't find a hotel or motel in the area. Haha, no Ryanair or any airline don't want the planes dropping out the sky thank god, and one pilot was saying they don't risk flying over or under or anything! I seriously hope someone goes back to the design board to build better planes that can handle the heat and gases coming from them! She was only smoking though, no eruption so no lovely lava that is good for nature, pity. Oh and there are huge clouds hanging over us today! I seriously hope it doesn't rain.
