Flight Chaos volcano stops spewing ash


The icelandic volcano has stopped throwing ash, thanks to this no more flights will be disrupted. No ash was detected on Sunday which could mean the volcano has either stopped erupting or has taken a little pause. The volcanoes activity has gone down measurements with a heat camera have shown that the temperature is at less than 100°C which means there is no more ash but only steam. Seismic activity has gone down and is still decreasing and is approaching the level it had been before. It is possible it could erupt again. The volcano beneath Eyjafjallajokull glacier in southern Iceland erupted in mid-April.

We think that this is very severe. They say that you cant notice when you are breathing it and its toxic. Our concern is the worlds population, and if it comes to Guatemala or Canada (country of justin bieber) it might be very bad for us. We are also glad that its done erupting. It will put our sheudle back on track(for islandics)

Commentary

We think that this is really bad, lots of people are being killed because of bombs and as it is not enough it was children between 15-20 years. This is really bad because we shouldn't fight over things we should solve them peacefullly.

We think that we are sorry for Nigeria's president deaths, we dont think that the other president should be president until 2011. We also think that his plans are a good idea, that will make people love him. We also think that it's good that they made a great role by having a truce.

Volcano Grounds Europe flights


Volcanic ash from a volcano in Iceland forced the airspace of Britain, Ireland, and Sweeden. This disrupted flights. Across Denmark, The Netherlands, Germany, and Norway airports will be closed as the cloud approaches. Authorities said the ash is dangerous for aircraft.

COMMENTARY

We think that this volcano eruption is very impacting because all the flights that were going to Europe are now canceled and the foreign people that were in Europe will be stranded there until the sky has cleared. This means many people will be without their families for some time.
