Britain’s national broadcaster reportedly holds fears Attenborough and his small team will run out of food if the crisis continues much longer.

...

A spokesman for the BBC said Attenborough was currently holed up in a hotel. "They were unharmed and their schedule has not been affected,"

Either the helicopters a miniature, or Iceland's got problems.

'yr' meaning humanity, man

Boat to iceland, via the shetland and faroes, something I really want to do sometime.

That's like The Stig with a popped up collar and wings. Xpost

My holiday in Berlin looks doubtful (supposed to be flying tomorrow). The city of Momus will have to remain a mystery.

I'm presuming small planes are not affected by all this, being as I have just seen three fly over.

Guessing the ash is an issue with jet engines and the speeds jet aircraft travel at that causes the grit to sandblast windshields. So if the industry stuck to turboprops we could all be flying still...

I'm meant to be flying to Paris on Friday...

i think it's more that the ash cloud is higher than small planes fly

Lightning!

A little from column A: my understanding is that the ash is a threat to the jet intake more than the windshields.

A little from column B: yeah this thing is at 18-20,000 feet? A lot higher than light aircraft are gonna be travelling.

As I said to a friend y'day - Iceland is Metal as Fuk \m/

GOD IS ANGRY

god bless this volcano: allowed me to see Sun Ra Arkestra three times in one week!
