Stranges, I just heard an airplane here, guess not all planes are forbidden to fly in Sweden yet? From what I heard, only jetplanes are grounded, since the dust more or less fucks up the jet engines, but propellers are still safe. At least that's what I think.

Small propeller aircrafts are ok to fly, at least in UK, for the time being. Big passenger aircrafts seem to be grounded just like everything else.
Jet engines could get damaged by ash inflight coz of air intake, and stop working, which is never good at 40k feet.

For those living curently in the path of the ash- please remember only the finest (read: microscopic) ash will make it to the ground, and this is the most dangerous for your long term health. Its like breathing in small shards of glass. To all my european brethren- wear breathing masks until SIX MONTHS after the volcano stops spewing. Hope all turns out well.

Wasn't you guys told to hide under desks in case of a nuclear attack? I guess we will be properly adviced by our health services.

Better at 40 000 feet than at a 100 feet! 
Here in Norway even small props are forbidden to fly. However the government opened for certain medevac flights and passenger flights in certain areas (few routes up north).

As told not only the ash goes into jet's engines, but the small fiber-like glass in the ash will fuck up the windshield so you can't see outside after riding through this.
It's like sandpaper.

Strange, I just heard an airplane here. I guess not all planes are forbidden to fly in Sweden yet? Or maybe it's just international flights that are cancelled?
Propeller planes are allowed to fly.

Estonia's airspace still closed until tomorrow. But they say a new wave may appear on Sunday. Doesn't affect me, I live in my cellar..

Like an hour after washing my car i found little pieces of Eyjafjallajökull (ash) on it. Nifty. Greetings to Iceland.

One of my professors is trapped in Europe. Unfortunately, he can just email the assignments and notes to us.
The internet has turned on me.

Well anyways, you guys laughed at me when I said the quakes weren't a coincidence, you laughed at me when I said that volcanic eruptions would follow (yellowstone is next) but as the shadow once again crawls across our world, and the stench of terror dreads on a bitter wind, you people pray for strength and guidance. You should pray for the mercy of a swift death.
