I don't recall this event, but the write-up you linked is incredible: "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."
I figured they would ship that stuff in a......ship, rather than flying radioactive material.This eruption is actually becoming the killing blow to my business and making my daily life hell. My business depends on radioactive material and the Chalk River Reactors in Canada have been down for a year and a half forcing my company to purchase from the reactors in the Netherlands. Now we can't get material from there either. Look up "nuclear medicine crisis" and read how the industry is imploding thanks to the short sighted nature of our government not wanting nuclear reactors within the United States. This is what happens when you outsource life sustaining products.

my wife and i were discussing this topic last weekend: about a month ago the icelandic volcano was attracting tourists... and now it's seriously influencing (if only temporarily) several segments of commerce and climate in some areas.
