Though thinking about it the sky doesn't seem quite as vibrant a blue as usual, but that could simply be my mind.

Yeah but how the heck do you pronounce that?
I'm trying to pick up German but I'm taking a stupid Spanish class in school and I keep getting Spanish Js(pronounced as H) confused with German Js(pronounced as Y), lol
yeah, they glide like a brick.jord wrote:

Thanks, I think I'd bring back airships. They could make light work of this ash.Finray wrote:

The planes' weather radar is based on detecting the humidity of the clouds, basically, the water particles. So it can't detect ashes and avoid them, sure it's a freaking big cloud you can't miss, but there's ash still floating in the air that will clog up jet engines, and it immediately melts, making the engine a giant piece of concrete attached to a brick.jord wrote:
So like, can planes not like fly a bit lower or around it?
Even if they got some ash in their engines don't jets glide? I'm sure a few new jet engines are cheaper than the millions they're losing from having to refund everyone

A lucky plane in the 80s was able to restart one engine (1 of 4) on it's 747 and fly to safety after it went through volcanic ash it didn't pick up on it's weather radar. Since the incident they haven't taken any risks.
So it's not a matter of "A few jet engines" but "A few planes", and last I checked 747 and Airbuses aren't that cheap.
Until this volcano stops erupting (it still is) Northern Europe is screwed, I can't imagine how inconvenient this is for some people, not to mention the millions that companies are losing, this will affect the economy.

I wonder if Iceland is going to charge Europe for stealing their fertilizer. Maybe put some lawyers on the case.Sydney wrote:
