Icelandic Volcano Continues To Wreak Havoc On World's Airspace

Wednesday’s explosion of the Eyjafjallajokull volcano in Iceland, and the gigantic cloud of ash that it spawned, is still causing flights to and from many European countries to be canceled; one doomsaying volcanologist who clearly hasn’t planned any transatlantic trips claims that fallout from the ash could affect travel “for weeks to even months.” The Times has a handy chart of airports’ status here, and while some airports have allowed a few flights through these cancellations are going to probably go on through the weekend.
