| Iceland April 15, 2010 Volcano ash over Europe stops air travel. |
Ash cloud from Iceland volcano halts air traffic across Europe,
effects reverberate worldwide.
April 15, 2010
REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) — Emergency officials in Iceland are evacuating hundreds
of people as new flash floods endanger farms in the area near an ash-spewing
volcano.
The Civil Protection Department says officials are evacuating about 700 people from
rural areas near the volcano beneath Iceland's Eyjafjallajokull (ay-yah-FYAH'-plah-
yer-kuh-duhl) glacier, which began erupting Wednesday for the second time in less
than a month.
In London, Britain's air traffic service said Thursday it was extending a ban on most
air traffic in England until 1200GMT (8 a.m EDT) Friday, but flights to Scotland and
Northern Ireland may be allowed to resume.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's
earlier story is below.
LONDON (AP) — An ash cloud from Iceland's spewing volcano halted air traffic
across a wide swath of Europe on Thursday, grounding planes on a scale unseen
since the 2001 terror attacks as authorities stopped all flights over Britain, Ireland
and the Nordic countries.
Thousands of flights were canceled, stranding tens of thousands of passengers, and
officials said it was not clear when it would be safe enough to fly again.
An aviation expert said it was the first time in living memory that an ash cloud had
affected some of the most congested airspace in the world, while a scientist in Iceland
said the ejection of volcanic ash — and therefore disruptions in air travel — could
continue for days or even weeks.
"At the present time it is impossible to say when we will resume flying," said Henrik
Peter Joergensen, the spokesman for Copenhagen's airport in Denmark, where
some 25,000 passengers were affected.
The ash plume, which rose to between 20,000 feet and 36,000 feet (6,000 meters
and 11,000 meters), lies above the Atlantic Ocean close to the flight paths for most
routes from the U.S. east coast to Europe.
With the cloud drifting south and east across Britain, the country's air traffic service
banned all non-emergency flights until at least 7 a.m. (0600GMT, 2 a.m. EDT) Friday.
Irish authorities closed their air space for at least eight hours, and aviation authorities
in Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Belgium took similar precautions.
The move shut down London's five major airports including Heathrow, a major trans-
Atlantic hub that handles over 1,200 flights and 180,000 passengers per day. Airport
shutdowns and flight cancellations spread eastward across Europe — to France,
Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark, Ireland, Sweden, Finland and Switzerland — and
the effects reverberated worldwide.
French officials shut down all flights to Paris and 23 other airports.
Airlines in the United States canceling some flights to Europe and delayed others. In
Washington, the Federal Aviation Administration said it was working with airlines to try
to reroute some flights around the massive ash cloud.
Flights from Asia, Africa and the Middle East to Heathrow and other top European
hubs were also put on hold.
The highly abrasive, microscopic particles that make up volcanic ash pose a threat to
aircraft because they can affect visibility and get sucked into airplane engines,
causing them to shut down. The ash can also block pitot tubes, which supply vital
instruments such as air speed indicators, or latch onto engine blades, forming a
glassy substance that may cause engines to surge or stall.
Ash will also damage all forward-facing surfaces on an aircraft, such as the cockpit
windshields, the wings' leading edges, the landing lights and air filters for the
passenger cabin.
It was not the first time air traffic has been halted by a volcano, but such widespread
disruption has not been seen the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks.
"There hasn't been a bigger one," said William Voss, president of the U.S.-based
Flight Safety Foundation, who praised aviation authorities and Eurocontrol, the
European air traffic control organization, for closing down airspaces. "This has
prevented airliners wandering about, with their engines flaming out along the way."
Gideon Ewers, spokesman for the International Federation of Airline Pilots
Associations said it was a unique event.
"Normally, these volcanic eruptions affect air travel in areas of thin traffic such as the
Aleutian islands in Alaska, or in Indonesia and the Philippines," he told The
Associated Press.

First reports of closing air space from BBC: HERE CNN HERE.
Many European Countries close air space because of volcanic ash
- huge disruption and potentially very serious consequences.
April 15, 2010.
All flights in and out of the UK and several other European countries have been
suspended as ash from a volcanic eruption in Iceland moves south.
Up to 4,000 flights are being cancelled with airspace closed in Norway, Sweden,
Finland and Denmark among others.
The UK's air traffic control service (Nats) said no flights would be allowed in or out of
UK airspace until 0700 BST on Friday amid fears of engine damage.
The airspace restriction was the worst in living memory, a spokesman said.
Nats suggested that the restrictions were unlikely to be lifted after 0700, saying it
was "very unlikely that the situation over England will improve in the foreseeable
future".

NEW PHASE - Volcano, Iceland:
Latest News and report from UK air traffic control and the latest news:
Ash may hover for days over uncertain Europe
Saturday April 17, 2010.
By SYLVIA HUI and ANGELA CHARLTON, Associated Press Writers.
PARIS – The Icelandic volcano that has kept much of Europe land-bound is far from finished spitting
out its grit, and offered up new mini-eruptions Saturday that raise concerns about longer-term
damage to world air travel and trade.
Facing days to come under the volcano's unpredictable, ashy plume, Europeans are looking at
temporary airport layoffs and getting creative with flight patterns to try to weather this extraordinary
event.
Modern Europe has never seen such a travel disruption. Air space across a swath from Britain to
Ukraine was closed and set to stay that way until Sunday or Monday in some countries, affecting
airports from New Zealand to San Francisco. Millions of passengers have had plans foiled or delayed.
Activity in the volcano at the heart of this increased early Saturday, and showed no sign of abating.
"There doesn't seem to be an end in sight," Icelandic geologist Magnus Tumi Gudmundsson told The
Associated Press on Saturday. "The activity has been quite vigorous overnight, causing the eruption
column to grow."
Scientists say that because the volcano is situated below a glacial ice cap, the magma is being cooled
quickly, causing explosions and plumes of grit that can be catastrophic to plane engines, depending
on prevailing winds.
In Iceland, winds dragged the ashes over new farmland, to the southwest of the glacier, causing
farmers to scramble to secure their cattle and board up windows.
With the sky blackened out and the wind driving a fine, sticky dust, dairy farmer Berglind Hilmarsdottir
teamed up with neighbors to round her animals and get them to shelter. The ash is toxic — the
fluoride causes long-term bone damage that makes teeth fall out and bones break.
"This is bad. There are no words for it," said Hilmarsdottir, whose pastures near the town of Skogar
were already covered in a gray paste of ash.

| VOLCANO April 18, 2010. United Kingdom. Ministers met to discuss plans before UK flight restrictions were extended until at least 1900 BST on Monday. Ideas included flying those outside the no-fly zone to Spain and then using the Royal Navy and requisitioning merchant ships to help return them to the UK. Gordon Brown has spoken to his Spanish counterpart about the plan, No 10 said. A spokeswoman said the prime minister and the Spanish leader had explored whether Britons could be returned by landing in Spain - which is open to flights - from certain parts of the world. Latest air traffic go to Observatory HERE April 19, 2010 BERLIN – Germany's aviation authority broke the flight deadlock on Monday, granting Lufthansa an exemption to fly 50 long-haul planes carrying 15,000 passengers back home below the cloud of volcanic ash hanging over Europe. Britain chimed in with more good news, saying flight restrictions over Scottish airspace will be lifted Tuesday morning at 7 a.m. local time (0600 GMT, 2 a.m. EDT) and other British airports could reopen later that day as well. The government also sent Royal Navy warships to rescue those marooned across the Channel by flight cancellations. As airline losses spiraled over $1 billion, the aviation industry blasted European officials, claiming there was "no coordination and no leadership" in the crisis that shut down most European airports for a fifth day. Eurocontrol, the air traffic agency in Brussels, said less than one-third of flights in Europe were taking off Monday — between 8,000 and 9,000 of the continent's 28,000 scheduled flights. Airports in southern Europe were open, however, and Spain offered to become an emergency hub for the whole continent. The low level winds are currently moving ash westwards towards Novascocia, Canada. |

Volcano Eyjafjallajokull in Iceland is causing trouble again.
May 8, 2010.
BRUSSELS — The Icelandic volcano with the unpronounceable name reminded the
world again that it has the power to disrupt international travel — coughing out a
spreading cloud of ash that delayed or canceled hundreds of flights between
Europe and North America on Saturday.
The prospects for Sunday flights remained grim, with no improvement in sight for
trans-Atlantic passengers, and with a plume of low-altitude ash continuing to float
eastward over Spain and southern France.
Flights had to be rerouted north over Greenland or south around Spain to avoid
the 1,200-mile (2,000-kilometer)-long cloud stretching from Iceland to northern
Spain.
Approximately 600 airliners make the oceanic crossing every day. Around 40
percent were rerouted southward and the rest skirted Iceland from the north,
according to Eurocontrol.

New Zealand earthquake: Rescuers work through night
The United Kingdom, Australia, the United States, and even Google have launched
efforts to aid victims of Tuesday's New Zealand earthquake, which killed at least 65
people.
Rescuers are toiling overnight in New Zealand to reach scores of trapped people after
a 6.3-magnitude earthquake which has claimed at least 65 lives.
Christchurch Mayor Bob Parker says more than 100 people are feared buried in
collapsed buildings in the city.
The disaster struck at a shallow depth of 5km (3.1 miles) on Tuesday lunchtime when
Christchurch was at its busiest.
It is the South Island city's second tremor in six months, and the country's worst
natural disaster in 80 years.
'Time is of essence'
The mayor has declared a state of emergency and ordered the city centre's
evacuation.
On a cold and wet night, emergency teams have been toiling under floodlights to
reach survivors, as relatives keep vigil outside.

Developing and under constant update - read down for latest
(CNN) -- The threat of a tsunami prompted the U.S. National Weather Service to
issue a warning for at least 50 countries and territories after an 8.9-magnitude
earthquake struck Japan Friday.
The wide-ranging list includes Russia and Central American countries like
Guatemala, El Salvador and Costa Rica and the U.S. state of Hawaii. The weather
service's bulletin said it was intended "as advice to government agencies."
The quake, which struck near the coast of Honshu, Japan on Friday afternoon,
unleashed a wall of water that rushed in toward land, leveling houses and bashing
cars in its path and apparently killing hundreds.
Some officials feared that the fast-moving waves from a tsunami could be so high
that they would wash over entire islands in the Pacific, a spokesman for the
International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies said Friday.
There was some good news on the island of Guam, where the tsunami warning was
lifted. Police reported no damage or injuries. Indonesia also lifted its warning.
Japan hit by 8.9 magnitude quake "Experts are saying that it could be anywhere from
4 to 10 meters. That's higher than some of the Pacific islands are above sea level.
We just have to do the calculations to see that this is a real threat," federation
spokesman Paul Conneally said.
"In a situation like this, we have to prepare for the worst case scenario," he added.

"In a situation like this, we have to prepare for the worst case scenario," he added.
But Gerard Fryer of the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said even though waves
could cause significant flooding, "washing over islands is not going to happen."
Tsunami waves can travel at speeds of 800 kilometers per hour.
"The tsunami is more than one wave, and the waves can be separated by 20 minutes
or half an hour. So just because you see a wave come up and then go back in the
ocean again, that doesn't mean it's over," Fryer said.
Sirens sounded in Hawaii around 10 p.m. Thursday (3 a.m. ET), warning residents
they could expect tsunami waves five hours later.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said Kauai was the first Hawaiian island hit by
the waves, which swept across the remainder of the island chain as six foot surges
pushed waves ashore.
Officials said such ocean surges can push water as far as a quarter of a mile inland.
The West Coast and Alaska Tsunami Warning Center early Friday issued a tsunami
warning for coastal areas along the United States and Canadian west coasts. The
tsunami warning includes coastal areas of California and Oregon from Point
Conception to the Oregon-Washington border. It also includes coastal areas of
Alaska from Amchitka Pass to Attu.
Wendy Watson-Wright of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural
Organization warned nations to be on alert.
"This is a massive one, and it will have different effects depending on the location, on
the seabed, and on other sorts of characteristics," she said. "But clearly this is very
very large, and from that perspective, all countries need to be alert, on standby for
the moment."
In the Philippines, the government has evacuated 20 coast areas. Officials said they
were getting reports from Isabela province of "unusual waves" hitting the coastline.
The country's Disaster Management director Benito Ramos said waves have hit the
coastal areas of Aparri, Cagayan and Basco, Batanes.
Ramos said the tsunami alert remained elevated to a level two across the country as
a precaution.
The administrator of the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency said
employees are ready to assist state and local officials.
"We remind everyone who lives in the region to monitor their local news for
instructions from their state and local officials and if told to evacuate -- evacuate,"
said Administrator Craig Fugate.
Russia's Emergency Situations Ministry said more than 11,000 people living in
dangerous areas had been evacuated after a tsunami warning was issued for the
Kuril Islands. Ships docked in open ports were heading back out to sea to avoid
being hit by tsunami waves, the ministry said.
Chip McCreary of the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said officials estimated the
quake was already causing waves with magnitudes of up to 2 meters above normal
sea level.
"This is a very large earthquake. We've evaluated it as about the same size as the
earthquake last year in Chile. However, it's much closer to the Hawaiian islands than
the Chile earthquake," he said.
Waves are expected to begin hitting both Australia's and Chile's coastlines at around
noon ET.
The National Weather Service list includes Japan, Russia, the Philippines, Indonesia,
Papua New Guinea, Australia, Fiji, Mexico, New Zealand, Guatemala, El Salvador,
Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Panama, Honduras, Chile, Ecuador, Colombia, Peru and the
United States.
Numerous Pacific islands, including some U.S. territories, are also on the list.
Friday's 8.9-magnitude temblor in Japan was the largest earthquake since a
9.0-magnitude earthquake struck the Banda Aceh area of Indonesia on Dec. 26,
2004, causing a massive tsunami that killed about 250,000 people in 14 countries
and washed away entire communities. The tsunami caused nearly $10 billion in
damage and more casualties than any other tsunami in history, according to the
United Nations.
The earthquake, initially reported as a 7.8 earthquake, was upgraded to an 8.9
quake.
"When you jump a magnitude from 7 to 8.9, it's not 10 times stronger, it's 1000 times
stronger," said CNN International meteorologist Ivan Cabrera. "With an ... earthquake
that shallow, that close to shore, there will be more than one tsunami."
could cause significant flooding, "washing over islands is not going to happen."
Tsunami waves can travel at speeds of 800 kilometers per hour.
"The tsunami is more than one wave, and the waves can be separated by 20 minutes
or half an hour. So just because you see a wave come up and then go back in the
ocean again, that doesn't mean it's over," Fryer said.

| UPDATE: Two Nuclear Power Stations in trouble - ALERT |
Nuclear plant to vent air
Posted by ColinAndrews.net at 4.15 pm March 11, 2011
Source posted in Japan at: Saturday, March 12, 2011 03:56 +0900 (JST)
Air that may contain radioactive materials will be vented from a nuclear power plant in quake-stricken
Fukushima Prefecture. The Tokyo Electric Power Company has decided to release air from the reactor's
containment vessels, aiming to avoid their breakdown.
The company issued a warning about its Fukushima Number One Plant early on Saturday morning. It said
the pressure value for the reactor's containment vessels had risen, and that if the value was correct, the
vessels could break down.
Tokyo Electric says the amount of air to be released will be small and that it will notify residents near the
plant before it starts releasing the air. The company says it will check the amount of radioactive materials
in the air before the release. Source

| Iceland May 21, 2011 Volcanic eruption |
Volcano Grimsvotn blows and Ash moves Towards
European Air Space.
By JILL LAWLESS and GUDJON HELGASON, Associated Press Jill Lawless And
Gudjon Helgason, Associated Press
REYKJAVIK, Iceland – A year after an Icelandic volcano grounded planes across
Europe, a spectacular new eruption flung up a miles-high ash plume that shut down
the country's main airport, plunged nearby areas into darkness and sent ash drifting
toward European airspace.
The Grimsvotn (GREEMSH-votn) volcano, which lies beneath the ice of the
uninhabited Vatnajokull glacier in southeast Iceland, began erupting Saturday for the
first time since 2004, sending ash, smoke and steam 12 miles (20 kilometers) into the
air.
It was the volcano's largest eruption in 100 years.
The ash from Grimsvotn — about 120 miles (200 kilometers) east of the capital,
Reykjavik — turned the sky black Sunday and rained down on nearby areas,
covering buildings, cars and fields in a thick layer of gray soot. Civil protection
workers helped farmers get their animals into shelter and urged residents to wear
masks and stay indoors. No ash fell on the capital.
The eruption was far larger than last year's eruption at the Eyjafjallajokull
(pronounced ay-yah-FYAH-lah-yer-kuhl) volcano 80 miles (130 kilometers) away, but
scientists said it was unlikely to have the same global impact as that one, which left
10 million travelers stranded around the world..... Full article.
