In Case You Were Wondering Where All That Scandi Volcanic Ash Was Going

Here's a pretty cool animation of it.

Sådan har askeskyen bredt sig, bitch.

Scroll down to the first image and get yourself some f'n knowledge.

Meanwhile, airlines begin to try to determine whether the concerns are warranted with test flights through the Gaiasmog.

Flight danger or aircraft damage from volcanic ash: Unclear, but tests seem to show nada.
Revenue damage from indefinitely suspended flight schedules: Very clear.

That'd make me put a couple of aircraft up to see if this was real or bullshit. And I'd take a look at the maintenance records for planes flying in and out of LA myself.

ALSO: my point is not to encourage travel danger or aircraft damage, but rather to suggest airlines know how to mitigate that already, being in the business of flying that they are. You don't have to fly through the shit, and it isn't floating around Heathrow at minimums. One wonders, about this whole "shut down airports" stuff. Anyone who flys or fixes planes for a living can put me some knowledge.

MONDAY ALSO: Airlines are gettin cranky (WaPo link).
