Iceland fights back
« on: April 15, 2010, 05:55:05 AM »
First they tell Europe to stick their repayment plan up their ass now they shut your flights :hahaha:

LONDON – Ash clouds from Iceland's spewing volcano disrupted air traffic across Europe on Thursday as authorities closed air space over Britain, Ireland and the Nordic countries. Tens of thousands of passengers were stranded as flights were canceled and it was not clear when it would be safe enough to fly again.

Iceland really took it in the butt during the big economic downturn.

Bad investments , I guess ( seems I remember they bought up a bunch of derivatives that went south)

And to think, this could keep going for several years. The airline industry is fucked if that happens. :zoinks:

Existence actually has two broad meanings despite its apparent meaningless. The constant reconciliation of all its parts, and the conservation of any closed system as a whole.

Morality can be extrapolated from these meanings to make these two commandments of godless morality: 1). Be in harmony with one another and 2). Care for the environment.

"The last wish of the Icelandic economy was to have its ashes scattered over Europe."

The ash cloud from a volcano in Iceland that has caused travel chaos across Europe has spawned numerous jokes on various Internet blog sites, Facebook and Twitter.

Iceland is only just emerging from the financial crisis and the North Atlantic island nation of just 320,000 has spent months wrangling with Britain and the Netherlands over debts incurred after its tops banks went under in 2008.

Lots of discussions now, about if the governments are not too careful with the flight restrictions.

Wonder where it will lead to.

It is kind of weird. I've not seen a sky without white stripes since shortly after 9/11. Now it is for days in a row by now. Very weird. I've seen my first clear blue skies since childhood again.
