[quote]Iceland has issued a red alert to aviation after indications of a possible eruption under the country's biggest glacier, the Vattnajokull. The Icelandic Met Office warned that a small eruption had taken place under the Dyngjujokull ice cap. Seismic activity is continuing at the Bardarbunga volcano, about 30km away. Airspace over the site has been closed, but all Icelandic airports currently remain open, authorities say. A Europe-wide alert has also been upgraded.[/quote] BBC News: [url]http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-28913165[/url] Let's hope this doesn't disrupt worldwide flights like last time

Flying out of London tomorrow, I'd like to see it try and stop me..
As annoying (and expensive) as closing down air traffic is, I love volcanoes so much, and we're gonna get a lot of footage of this one simply because it's gonna affect Europe.

Quick question, does anyone know what the USAF does when the airspace over Europe is closed by things like this? Because I have 5-10 C-17s pass over my house at cruise altitude every day, and I assume they're carrying important shit to the Middle East. Do they literally just fly around the ash cloud to the south/north?

This is why we can't have nice flights.

The BBC not even bothering to spell it right hurts me deeply. "Bardarbunga" [I]"Bárðarbunga"[/I]
[QUOTE=Sgt-NiallR;45785377]The BBC not even bothering to spell it right hurts me deeply. "Bardarbunga" [I]"Bárðarbunga"[/I][/QUOTE] Oh no, they forgot an accent mark that doesn't make the vowel sound any different and a weird symbol that functions almost the exact same as a "d" [url]http://www.forvo.com/word/b%C3%A1r%C3%B0arbunga/[/url] [editline]24th August 2014[/editline] Not to mention they speak English in Britain, not Icelandic, so no shit they're not going to use the other language's sybmols when they have their own alphabet that does the job just fine.
And it's been lowered again [url]http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-28917495[/url]

My parents are supposed to fly to Scotland through London -> Glasgow tomorrow, hope this doesn't fuck up their plans.
the volcano gods are angry the police force shot someone
[QUOTE=Jonzky;45784397]Flying out of London tomorrow, I'd like to see it try and stop me..[/QUOTE] In a crazy twist of events the plane is broken and it doesn't look like I'm leaving :(
[QUOTE=markg06;45784349]I hope it does disrupt flights, last time it happened the skies were so nice and clear.[/QUOTE] It made for some very neat sunsets in Europe, because of the microscopic ash particles in the air. Also, doesn't this volcano being under the world's largest glacier mean we're in a shitton of trouble?
[QUOTE=Noss;45784345]god fucking damnit iceland stop it[/QUOTE] No.
[QUOTE=Jonzky;45792937]In a crazy twist of events the plane is broken and it doesn't look like I'm leaving :([/QUOTE] The volcano is totally responsible somehow.
