It may be obvious to you, but judging from the number of people who
think that suspending aviation is an overreaction, it would seem
that many people don't understand the risks of volcanic ash for
aviation.

Nope.
The thinking is that flights from Heathrow, for instance, could have
continued far longer (unless they were going north) before the ash
cloud had even approached southern England.

Who's thinking?

People who don't know what they are talking about.

It sounds much better in French, but then, everything does.

Britain's supermarkets could soon run short of perishable goods
including exotic fruits and Kenyan roses as the ongoing ban on UK air
travel brought Britain's largest perishable air freight handling
centre to a standstill today.....etc.....


the end is nigh...

Ash from a volcano in Iceland has shut down Northern Europe's airports

First place I saw it was a post here about UK airports being closed!
Despite CNN and Cable, apparently we get even less "real" news in the U.S.
than I realized.

Let's shut up martin.

Yep. It has done a number of overseas flights. My brother is worried
because he has a flight booked for two weeks from now. It could be over
by then, or it could be worse.

It's extremely difficult to determine the limits or density of an ash cloud
without flying through it.

The 99% of the European population that doesn't have to fly anywhere
right now is currently enjoying the sight of glorious blue skies
completely free of contrails, a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
I live 10 miles from the nearest airport and although I never
considered aircraft noise to be a nuisance, the sudden stillness is
deafening - all I can hear is the sounds of spring, birds singing and
the occasional lawnmower somewhere far off in the distance.
