Oh no, someone at Reuters INCREASED THE CONTRAST in a picture!

NWO! SHADOW GOVERNMENT! YOU ARE BEING LIED TO!

Or maybe, just maybe, they were trying to make the details of the picture more visible at a lower resolution. Just a thought, you know...

Quote from wikipedia page

Moody (name of the pilot) made an announcement to the passengers that has been described as "a masterpiece of understatement"

" Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem. All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control. I trust you are not in too much distress. "

Geologists have no idea when it will stop. An eruption in Iceland in 1973 lasted five months and 10 days.

 

The ash from the Eyjafjallajokull volcano is dangerous to planes because the molten rock erupts through the glacier, solidifies and then shatters into tiny fragments. The smallest are carried high into the atmosphere and cannot be detected by radar or other aircraft instruments

i know what its doing to air travel sucks, but I can't stop looking at all the imagery its creating

Volcanic lightning is fucking idm.

Iceland is so fucking beautiful! And yes, Volcano Lightning is very IDM.

I feel bad for the Icelandic people though because the last couple of years haven't exactly been easy on them, but man, I want to go to Iceland again. I miss driving around in the middle of nowhere and drinking their fantastic coffee in small cosy cafes. Seriously, they make the best coffee ever. Iceland ftw.

Volcanic ash spreads more travel misery across Europe

 

'No end in sight'

Icelandic geologist Magnus Tumi Gudmundsson told the Associated Press news agency: "It's the magma mixing with the water that creates the explosivity. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be an end in sight."

 

Tales from stranded passengers around the globe

 

Graeme Leitch, a meteorologist at Britain's National Weather Service, said light winds and high pressure over Europe meant the cloud was unlikely to be dispersed soon.

"We don't expect a great deal of change over the next few days," he told AP.

 

The International Air Transport Association (Iata) predicted little or no improvement on Sunday.

 

"Right now through most of Europe we do not see many flights moving at all," spokesman Steve Lott told AFP news agency.

There was some INSANE lightning action last night including more earthquakes around the area... can't wait for new pics for that. I kind of wish I was out there witnessing this thing. Apparently its not dangerous if you're on Iceland.
