Eyjafjallajokull volcano
NEW YORK - It seems like a disconnect: Most of the media stories about flights grounded because of Iceland's volcanic eruption were accompanied by spectacular aerial photographs of the volcano.
ABOVE THE EYJAFJALLAJOKULL VOLCANO - The volcano threw magma chunks the size of cars into the air and rocked our helicopter with a vicious explosion that sent a visible shock-wave through the air, a reminder of its power.
Moscow, April 21 (IANS/RIA Novosti) Volcanic ash from Iceland's Eyjafjallajokull volcano will cross the Atlantic and reach North America by Wednesday, British meteorologists have said.
LONDON - European airports lurched back to life Tuesday as the gridlock spawned by Iceland's volcanic ash plume eased.

Mother Nature has given Europe a lesson in risk, aviation technology, scientific uncertainty and economics.
