That volcano is approximately eight miles from the initial eruption? This is where the mid atlantic ridge surfaces.....where the spreading center can actually be seen.....This is FASCINATING. I just hope that lives will be spared and that eventually life in Europe will get back to normal. The past eruptions did not have as much of an effect as todays(this time periods) eruption because there was no airplanes aviation commonplace flights. They were just as disruptive, but the populations had no way of telling such. |

This could bust somma the smaller UK airlines....its was pretty hard times for them prior to this...they say its costing about £20-25 million per day in lost revenue....there's 4 tons of fresh salmon in a truck at Heathrow that was destined for Texas...I wonder how much that is worth  |

Re: Eyjafjallajoekull Volcano, Iceland, 14-19 April 2010 (70Pix, 4vids)
can helicopters fly in this weather?? the article i posted on the first page of this thread about why planes cant fly, showed engines from commercial airline planes, so i was wondering if planes with rotor blades or helicopters could fly now. i could've sworn that i heard a small plane or helicopter yesterday afternoon while i was taking those pictures of the sunset |

cant prop planes take the ash and debris better than jet engiens? I heard somewhere that jet engines ehat up enough to remelt the particles and totally jam the negines and some propeller driven engines do not. but it seems there would still be engine stalling due to clogging of the works. I don't know, but if its the heating and remelting factor only, then it makes a little sense to me. |

Here are a few from the NASA.gov site.   The ongoing eruption of Iceland's Eyjafjallajokull volcano is seen in this pair of images acquired April 15, 2010, from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) instrument on NASA's Terra spacecraft. At left is a natural-color visible image, while the right image is a composite of MODIS thermal infrared channels. Image credit: NASA GSFC/JPL  NASA's Terra satellite flew over the volcano on April 16 10:45 UTC (6:45 a.m. EDT) and the MODIS instrument captured a visible image of Eyjafjallajökull's ash plume (brown cloud) stretching from the U.K. (left) to Germany (right).
