 well what have we here?...the stifling of a Planet's movement [by air, anyway] because of not 3...not 2...but 1!!! volcano's activity...Nature has a way of putting ManTheMammal in our proper perspective...all the technology in our arsenal rendered moot because volcanic ash was roaming the atmosphere!...hmmm...just had to wait it out...and this was just on 1 part of TheGlobe...the fastest and arguably the safest means of transportation largely halted not for hours but days by a volcano...a means of transportation that more than air travellers rely on[but then again there's always "the slow boat to china"]...and while it's never happened in recorded history, how vulnerable would we be to have simultaneous eruptions of the same or greater magnitude as the Iceland volcano anywhere on ThePlanet...maybe a Mt Vesuvius with Krakatoa...or maybe for modern day: Mt st.Helens and Yellowstone[which is predicted, just not when]...Earth is littered with volcanoes and underwater fissures...and just a matter of time before it really "blows off steam".........
