Interesting story developing here....

Airline passengers are facing massive disruption across the UK after an ash cloud from a volcanic eruption in Iceland grounded planes.

The Air Traffic Control Service (Nats) said no flights would be allowed in or out of UK airspace from midday to 1800BST amid fears of engine damage.

All flights at Heathrow, Stansted and Gatwick will be suspended from midday and in Scotland all airports are shut.

Apparantly Danish airspace will close this afternoon too.
 
Glad they're taking precautions. Volcanic ash is pure poison to jet engines, and I can recall some crashes from that. No point in taking chances with the lives of a plane full of tourists.

Apparently Keflavik is open, because the ash hasn't blown that way, but Scotland and the Scandinavian countries are shut.

It's odd - there's nothing to see in the sky. It's been a little bit overcast this morning anyway, but there have also been sunny spells with blue sky. Noticeable absence of aircraft though!

I was just hearing on radio5 that they have no idea when flights will resume. The Volcaonoe is still erupting.
Hang on.. update.. radio Iceland... Its gone dark . End of world style.
 
Afurther update from radio Iceland (or something) The last time they had a Volcano behave as badly as this was 1821. It lasted two years. It didnt stop flights then but there is concern that holidaying UKers will be speaking all foreign by the time they get home.
 
Dutch airspace is closed as well.
This is just what the Illuminati are waiting for !!!one11

Must get onto my agent. The price of English tulips is about to go sky high!
Update..Oslo airport closed
 
Looking out of the window, I see a couple of chemtrails stretching across the sky, so it's good to see that the NWO has found ways to continue its work despite the inconvenience to travellers.

I'm off to the HAARP thread to see if the US secret weather control and earthquake system are being blamed yet!
 
It seems to be spreading - this morning it was just Scotland and Scandinavia that were closed, but now it's the whole of Britain, with France, Germany, Belgium, Spain and the Netherlands experiencing major disruption.

Unless you were planning on travelling by air the only effect here is a redder sunset/sunrise and higher chance of rain this weekend instead of the first +20°c temps this. Goddamnit Iceland, you ruined my weekend.

Where are you Fishstick? This is effecting millions of people in parts of Europe.
 
Yeah, but it's only affecting the ones who were planning on air travel, isn't it? We're supposed to be in the thick of it here, and I can't see anything unusual.
