localcrew Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 Pretty wild. This eruption could go on for days, months or years....which of course could be a huge problem for the northern European airlines and travelers besides causing other problems of course.I wonder how Bjork's island is doing?

Blane Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 wow. amazing photos. Have 6 stranded project partners here from Africa with no way of getting home any time soon. Massive disruptions happening here in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phishtaper Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 reports are saying this will easily cost the airlines $1 billion in losses and could result in food shortages in northern europe within the week because nothing is getting anywhere right now. and the geologists are saying there are no signs that the volcano is going to stop anytime soon. we could become dinosaurs.

localcrew Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 Well the last time they had a significant eruption at this volcano (about 200 years ago) it went on for a year and a half so the airlines had better figure something out quick because there's no saying this won't continue for even longer.Time to bring back the Titanic?

Birdy Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 KLM and Lufthansa are flying test flights with no reported damage, and BA is soon to hit the skies too (for test flights). Also reported that by tomorrow, 50% of the airspace over UK/Northern Europe should be clear. Which is hopeful, as I'm due to land at Heathrow at 6.30 Tuesday morning!

Guest Low Roller Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 My Mom is trapped in Poland right now with no certain date as to when she can fly back.
