very interesting site.

Is this the same volcano that caused big disruptions about two years ago?

I dodged the bullet in 2010 as I was off when it happened. Crews were stuck in Europe for days. Why do I get the feeling I won't be as lucky this time?!

Being stuck in Europe is not a bad thing...but being stuck in Newark from volcanic ash is a VERY bad thing!

That depends on where you live! If I were stuck in EWR, I can be home in 25 minutes!

I think I'd rather be stuck in Europe than home in EWR...
