Icelandic Volcano casts large shadow onto global safety and progress

Economic, Social, and Environmental disruption that could last for days, weeks, months?  It all depends on how long the volcano continues to erupt and how long it takes for ash clouds to disperse.  An astonishing look into the "real" power of nature.  The power to stop the world.

This caused the largest flight disruption in and out of Europe since World War II on Thursday, worse than what transpired at 9/11, September 2001. Almost all flights were canceled into and out of Europe on Thursday, affecting passenger flights all around the world. Many flights already in the air had to turn around and return to their departure sites. If the volcano continues to erupt for days and weeks, intercontinental air travel could be disrupted for weeks, maybe months.
