about that iceland volcano...

i was listening on the radio this morning about why that volcano has wreaked so much havoc on all the euro-airplanes. did you know that it shot fucking GLASS into the sky? glass. that is some bjork shit.

if the glass gets into an airplane engine, it will get real hot and melt onto the airplane parts, and that thing will fall right out of the sky. terrifying.

also, it's invisible:

While satellite photographs from above show the cloud to be dark and menacing, it remains largely invisible from the ground. Reporters in Paris, London and Frankfurt said Friday that the skies overhead were blue and mostly clear. (via)

creepy! and it's still erupiting. and all the trains are booked up for days. so.
