That Icelandic volcano erupted recently. It's disrupted ALL flights to an from the UK, and is causing wide spread flooding after many glaciers melted. It must be really bad if it's causing planes to stop in England, not just Iceland...Bad times. The planes are grounded until at the very least 6.00pm, and I can imagine it's going to cause many problems for holiday makers.
According to news reports, the plume of ash has reached places as far away as Russia, and has no real signs of stopping...Bad times!
It does make sense to stop the flights though. Volcanic ash does have a tendency to cause Jet-Engines to stop working, and as a result crash...In hindsight I'd rather be delayed for a while before being able to board a plane than have it crash whilst I'm on it because of a volcanic eruption in Iceland...
